Nigerian Christian music recording artist, singer, and preacher of the gospel, Evangelist Kehinde Oluwakemi Oni-Adekunle, based in the United States, makes her debut into the music scene with the song titled “New Covenant” (The Blood).

The song, which has its reference in the book of Hebrews 8:6–13, talks about the covenant enacted by God and sealed with blood when He chose to lay down the life of His son for the redemption of mankind.

New Covenant is the first of many songs that will be coming from the evangelist. In due time, she’ll be putting out a body of work that will see to the spreading of the gospel (good news) of our Lord Jesus Christ.

She’s the convener of the Covenant Outreach Network, a nonprofit organization with the goal and mission of preaching Jesus Christ, His salvation, and goodness.

Dutch musician, multi-instrumentalist, and music therapist Harry Kappen is known for making bold political statements and raising awareness on global issues through his music.

While his previous music often calls for large-scale global change, his latest single “The Freedom Inside” is a gentle reminder for people to start a positive change from within themselves, which will ultimately impact the world.

Released on March 1st, 2023, the new single reached the UK iTunes Pop Songs chart at #52. The single teases the full-length album that fans have been waiting for since Harry’s 2022 album release, “Escape.”  That album produced the 50K+ -streaming Spotify hit, “WarGames.”

“We all know we live in troubling times with war, climate change, indifference, etc.” Says Kappen. “There’s a lot of complaining everywhere (social media!) and declining trust in governments. If you want to change the world, stop nagging and whining at others and start to change yourself first and search for the freedom inside you to do so!”

ABOUT HARRY KAPPEN:

In addition to being a notable musician, Harry Kappen is also a music therapist. He offers his services at a youth care center where music therapy is used to help young children cope with various problems and disorders.

“Gone with the Wind” by Medlye is a testimony of how the love of Jesus Christ can clean deep wounds. Be it mental, emotional, generational, physical or spiritual. And how He can wait for you till you meet freedom and embrace eternal sanity.

The piece is basically directed at the younger folks who are going through mental challenges that have kept them in drugs and social vices.

Yes, no one may understand what you are really going through. But know when the love of Jesus Christ comes into that your challenge, You won’t know when the storm will seize. GONE WITH THE WIND.
