Music minister, singer and songwriter, Ngozi Ezeamaka releases her debut single titled “Ala Zoro-Ezo”accompanied by a very nice lyric video.
She shares the story behind the song: “When I lost my dad in 2013, the battle to lay him to rest was too much and my life was threatened. Some bad village people refuse giving us a date for the burial. They said my father won’t be buried until they decide. My siblings were scared to return to the village for fear of being poisoned. But I summoned courage and went to the village. I cried to God using Psalm 35 (Igbo version). That was when this song was birthed as I prayed and asked God to reveal every hidden ground for me so I don’t fall into their trap.”

May HIS Kingdom Come; May HIS will be done in our lives, on the earth through the witness of our lives! May we grow in the understanding that is required to receive THE LORD in the authority of His lordship and in the wisdom to extend the influence of His government across territories. May our obedience reveal His good will until the nations behold our witness and cry ‘blessings to ADONAI‘.

Lecrae shared the live video for “Deconstruction,” which can be viewed below. The recording is live from Vevo Studios New York. Lecrae shares about the release:
The teaser for Lecrae’s ‘Church Clothes 4’ album is yet another example of the GRAMMY-winning rapper’s endearing self-awareness. Staged as a faux podcast interview, the entire concept pokes fun at Lecrae’s faith-based rap. “The truth is, you can’t have the righteous without the ratchet,” he proclaims at one point. Truth is, the Houston dude’s never been afraid to look deep within. His 2020 album ‘Restoration’ explored personal identity, specifically ruminating on things that obscure one’s true self. Standout track “Self Discovery” linked the impact of the slave trade on his African ancestors to the insidious fallout of a non-relationship with his own father. The last time we worked with Lecrae was for a special Ctrl.At.Home session shot in Atlanta at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights. This time we’re celebrating the finalé of his ‘Church Clothes’ series. “I think every great story has a final chapter,” he says. Wise words from a wise man.

Songwriter and record label boss Mama Tee returns with a Hebrew and English version of her Christmas song titled “Shalom Elohim Alaich” (Peace Unto You). This project was a collaboration between recording artist Raphael Emeka and a team he had been working with from Israel for some of his previous releases. This song takes us back to the birth of Jesus using a combination of Hebrew and English to describe the purpose of Christmas!
Mama Tee wanted the song in Hebrew, because the old testament was written in Hebrew. The old testament made frequent references to the coming of Christ. An opportunity to have a song sung in one of the main languages of the Bible was one she couldn’t pass up!
Mama Tee reiterates that the purpose of Christmas is written in John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. John 3:16-17 NKJV
The Original song was written by Tolu, composed and produced by Emmanuel Awipi, sung by Rume.
This version sees Raphael Emeka and his wife Ikiomongha Opere team up to deliver the Hebrew parts of the song. The translation was done by David and Yonnah Bronshtein and others.
Raphael Emeka was a worship leader at the Beersheva, Israel, congregation “Nachalat Yeshua” and has published a couple of Hebrew gospel songs during his time serving at the congregation, alongside his PhD studies. Emeka was born and raised in Nigeria and has directed the worship teams of congregations in his country as well as in Ghana, England and Israel during his previous academic studies. Residing in these countries have greatly influenced his music, driving his passion to express God’s unity through our diverse expressions of worship.
Nigerian gospel music minister and songwriter, Aduke Odeniyi introduces her new single “I Dance,” with the release of its official video, available now to stream on YouTube. This marks her second single following her well-received debut “Oru Mbo” which dropped in July 2021.
Produced by Emmajay Strings, “I Dance” is a song of praise that exalts and glorifies God. The mid-tempo tune inspires us to offer thanks, praise, and dance unto God regardless of our circumstances.
Speaking about the song, Aduke said “This song came to me at a difficult time in my life where nothing seemed to be working. No Job, my business was stagnant – the pain and trauma I just can’t describe.”
She continues. “Then it occurred to me I didn’t make it this far on my own. God’s words of joy, healing, breakthrough, peace, mercy, and victory have always been there for me. I began giving God thanks & praises and ever since, I have been dancing in the good time and bad times.
“God is still God in the good times and bad times.” Aduke added, “This is to also remind us that God has crowned us with Glory and honor (Psalm 8:5). He has also given us Beauty for ashes (Isaiah 61:3) so ‘I DANCE’”
“God wants us to give thanks in all situations 1 Thessalonians 5:18” She concluded
“I Dance” music video was shot and directed by award-winning video director, Akin Alabi films. Watch below.
