Worship revivalist and renowned gospel minister Dunsin Oyekan returns with a powerful new sound titled “BABA”, a soul-stirring anthem that invites believers into a deeper revelation of God’s Fatherhood.
Inspired by Matthew 7:11 —
“If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!” — this song highlights one of the most profound truths in the believer’s walk: God is not just our Creator — He is our Father.
Baba is an invitation to be vulnerable with the One who created you in His image. Scripture says, “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, who does not change.”
Let this song minister to you the truth of God’s Fatherhood. Embrace the knowledge that He delights in giving good gifts to His children, and you, dearly beloved, are counted among His children.
Today, shake off the orphan mindset that breeds fear and keeps you distant. Stop waiting for Him to disappoint you; He never will. Instead, as you revel in the assurance that you have been adopted into an eternal family, enter the Father’s warm embrace and find total satisfaction.
Open your heart, hallow His name, and call out: “Father! Abba! Baba!”
“He’s your God, but He loves being your Father,” says Dunsin. “One of the greatest revelations you can carry is the reality of God’s Fatherhood. BABA is a call to take that understanding deeper.”
With his signature prophetic sound and heartfelt delivery, “Baba” carries the weight of intimacy, sonship, and divine love. It is more than a song — it is an experience that shifts your posture from striving to resting in the arms of a loving Father.

Matt Crocker, the longstanding member and vocalist of Hillsong UNITED and Hillsong Worship, releases “JESUS.”
“Never have I ever stepped out into the realm of a ‘solo’ creative space. Never really wanted to, never really thought I would,” Crocker states on his Instagram. He explains, “I’ve always had the privilege of doing this with my best friends, which was always enough for me.
But somewhere along the way, a couple years ago, I felt a gentle push to start seeing what was perhaps in me to find that God has uniquely deposited in me, as He does all of us.”
Matt Crocker will continue to launch new music in the coming weeks in anticipation of his debut solo album expected later this year.

The five-track project — which includes the previously-released singles “Goodbye” “Spin” and “You Won’t,” — is the culmination of years of creative evolution, during which Madison has cultivated a devoted fanbase of over one million followers, eager to experience her next chapter.
“‘Letting Go’ was written in a time when I thought my life was over. I was struggling with depression and anxiety, when God showed up in a way I had never experienced before,” Madison Watkins says. “I not only experienced true freedom from the bondage I felt, but I took everything I went through and put it in these songs. It was written in the season when I finally “Let Go.” I hope this inspires someone who needs a breakthrough. I hope it allows them true freedom from whatever they are facing.”
Madison Watkins also recently unveiled the official music video for her current radio single, “You Won’t.” Entirely soulful and altogether stirring, the spare video finds Watkins seated at a piano, bathed in blue light, emoting with every thrilling note she hits.
“You Won’t” is a song that speaks about someone or something (in my case God) that never leaves you in deep pain or seasons of trials,” she explains. “It is a hope filled song that I wrote to hopefully give hope to someone hurting or needing a breakthrough.”

Today, two-time Grammy Award nominee Blessing Offor continues his year of new music with his reflective and uplifting new single “The Morning.” Written with Rita Springer and Dan Muckala, “The Morning” infuses R&B and Gospel to capture Blessing Offor’s optimistic and relatable spirit even in the darkest of moments with the reassurance that despite troubled times the sun will still rise and bring new opportunities.
“Everybody loves a good story,” shares Blessing Offor. “Especially the ones that make us feel not so alone. This song wasn’t so much written as much as it presented itself. Sitting with my cowriter Rita, we shared life stories, shared frustrations, and while we came from such different places, the stories, the feelings were all too similar.
Sometimes just seeing ourselves in someone else’s story, knowing that someone else made it through, can be exactly what we need. No one likes facing the hard things in life, but inevitably – eventually – tomorrow comes and we find that the sun does rise. I hope ‘The Morning’ is a song that helps others realize they are not alone.”
