JÉSÙ – Nikki Laoye X Cwesi Oteng

Award winning Nigerian Gospel Artist, Nikki Laoye conjoins muscles with aced Ghanian gospel artist Cwesi Oteng on new the track “JÉSÙ” off his YESU Ep (An African Ode to Jesus).

JÉSÙ, is the Yoruba adaptation of the renowned title track, “Yesu” off Cwesi’s EP, which is a celebration of the Love, Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ on a musical journey from Ghana through Nigeria to Zambia, and back to Ghana.

Translated by Nikki Laoye and her mum, the singer shares her experience working on the song with Cwesi: “JÉSÙ is more than a song to me, it’s my heart and my life in words to the One true lover of my soul- JESUS and I know that it would definitely bless everyone who hears it.
When Cwesi reached out to me 3 years ago about creating a Yoruba version of his song, I totally fell in love with the idea of recording a song from start to finish in my local dialect and as expected, it was an indescribable, explosive expression of raw emotion in the studio booth and beyond.
Singing to God in Yoruba gets me super emotional everytime as my soul obviously connects in deep ways that I can’t even comprehend.
It was also fun working with my mum as she helped translate and also sat with me in the studio, to ensure that I pronounced the words and intonations correctly as this would be my very first 100% concentrated Yoruba song.”

Also Speaking about the song, Cwesi Oteng shares: ‘’The song ‘Jésù’ from the collaboration with Nikki Laoye is very special to me. It took us three years to get the song completed after Nikki sent the vocals. There was a lot that happened between those three years that could have made us lose the files, but God wanted this time to actualize the song and the EP.
Nikki is an anointed singer with a heavenly voice and so it is an honour for me to work with her on the song. I believe this song is anointed and has been prepared to touch many lives across Africa and beyond,’’

JÉSÙ” is also one of the singles on Cwesi’s “YESU EP (An African Ode to Jesus)” – a specially curated EP for the Easter festive season. A 7-track EP centred on the essence of the redemptive work of Jesus and the gift of salvation made available to humanity to have a renewed relationship with God.

With his original version, “Yesu” delivered in his native Asante Twi dialect, Cwesi collaborates with award-winning vocalist friends in Nikki Laoye (Nigeria) and Penjani Ng’uni (Zambia) for the Yoruba (Jésù) and Pemba (Yesu) adaptations of the title track respectively.
Other songs on the EP are root-reggae inspired ‘Love’, the reflective ‘My Defence (Jesus Chant), and an instrumental and live version of the title track, ‘Yesu’, featuring Joycelyn Armah and Flo’Riva Inc

Stages: The EP – Hanson Asiedu

UK based – Ghanaian born Gospel Musician, Hanson Asiedu presents to you his first body of work, aptly named Stages: The EP, Following a successful 2017 Kick starter crowdfunding campaign.

Stages: The EP is a 5 track eclectic collection, with styles ranging from the West African Highlife influenced ‘God Of Your Word’, the stripped back acoustic vibes of ‘Easy On Me’, and the soul-funk fusion heard on ‘Lessons You Learn’.

Recording the EP was a collaborative effort, with contributions from Nigeria, the United States, Ghana, and the United Kingdom.

Hanson Asiedu beams, ‘I am very proud of this body of work. It’s taken me a few years to get it together, so it makes it even more of an achievement for me. I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, I’ve been hopeful, disappointed, even angry at times out of frustration. But all is fair in love and war, and I’ve definitely faced some warfare on this journey.’

Hailing from the rich cultural heritage of Ghana, Hanson says ‘I am the only musical one in my family as far as I know, other than my great grandfather who was a Methodist Church organist.’

The interest and relationship with music started from a young age; from singing and dancing in the primary school playground and being chased by other children asking him to sing, through to convincing friends on the phone that he was Craig David.

Hanson Asiedu has sang in choirs, almost signed a deal in the early 2000’s with an independent record label, and traveled extensively across the UK wherever the music may lead, including busking on the streets of London. Hanson is a graduate of the Academy Of Contemporary Music, Guildford.

Hanson’s faith underpins the songs he pens, lines he sings, and messages he delivers, and his expression of a deeply founded faith in God is undeniable.

Still (Live) – Amanda Lindsey Cook

Barely three weeks after the release of her latest album House On The Hill, Amanda Cook offers fresh new single (Audio + Video) “Still” on the wake Easter Weekend.

“We could all use a little more stillness. It gets noisy and crowded in our minds and lives and 9-5’s. This song came to us in a moment of needing stillness to be a true possibility. That return to center. The gravitational pull of Peace.”—Amanda Lindsey Cook

– Amanda Lindsey Cook

“Still” is Amanda Lindsey Cook’s new single giving language to the verse, “Be still and know I am God,” a Psalm written by King David during a chaotic time when trusting God was a choice he had to make. When faced with fear, Amanda learned to surrender and lift her fears to God—rather than trying to extinguish them herself—and watch them fall into perfect peace.

“Still” brings us back to the peace of God that is always present and accessible in every situation, no matter how hopeless we may feel.

LYRICS

Verse 1
I lift every fear to the heavens
Watch them disappear in your presence
One by one they fall into perfect peace

You know everything yet you listen
Through my anxious thoughts with compassion
One by one they fall into perfect peace

Chorus
So I will be still
I will be still
I know that you are God

Verse 2
Every wall I face
Every giant
Every lasting chain
Every lion
One by one they fall into perfect peace

Chorus
So I will be still
I will be still
I know that you are God

Bridge
If you are with me what can overwhelm me?
You render silent all of my worry

If you are with me what can overwhelm me?
You end the war and you set my heart free

LYRICS

Verse 1:
Just for me, many doors you’ve closed
Just for me, sometimes you will say no
So I’ll be, tested in your fire, to purify my desires
So my blessings won’t be

Just for me, so caught up in myself, I couldn’t see
The world did not revolve around me
So storms are in your will, so I can feel what others feel…
Their needs…
If I could speak honestly

CHORUS:
It don’t feel good, but growing never does
It don’t seem fair, for you to call this love
But if necessary pain, is the ingredient for change
Even when life may be bittersweet
It’s working…

Verse 2:
Just for me, all the moments I missed that were
Just for me, because I chose not to wait patiently
But for every mistake, was the same amount of grace
That kept my blessing waiting

Just for me, but trusting your timing is not easy
And what I want’s not always what I need
But somewhere I forgot, you are God and I am not…
I see…If I could speak honestly…

CHORUS:
It don’t feel good, but growing never does
It don’t seem fair, for you to call this love
But if necessary pain, is the ingredient for change
Even when life may be bittersweet
It’s working…

Bridge
Ooh la la-ah, ooo la la-ah , oh la la-aa-ah la, la la ,la la-
[I’m singing] Ooh la la-ah , ooo la la-ah , oh la la-aa-ah la, la la ,la la-

CHORUS:
It don’t feel good, but growing never does
It don’t seem fair, for you to call this love
But if necessary pain, is the ingredient for change
Even when life may be bittersweet
It’s working… [Repeat 2x]

Outro
Just For Me…. [Repeat as needed]
