One of Nigeria’s most-watch out-for gospel music artist and songwriter, Damilola Obafemi wraps up the year 2022 with “Jesus Reigns.”
The song is entitled with the fact that he(God) is and will forever be in our lives wherever, no matter where we are. And he dwells in our everyday lives, No matter the situation.
Renowned Dutch musician and music therapist Harry Kappen has released a politically motivated new single, “WarGames.” Following his full-length album “Escape” that was released earlier in 2022, Kappen wanted to bring the year to an end with a meaningful song that not only provokes people’s thoughts, but also makes an impact on the music scene. “WarGames” addresses political turmoil across the world, while also bringing a call to action for issues such as climate change, media misinformation, social ignorance and more.
“In the ‘60s and ‘70s, there was a lot of musical protest going on against, among other things, the Vietnam War,” Harry Kappen says. “While there are enough reasons to protest now, I actually hear little resonance in the current music charts. Just check your Top 40. Are war, climate change, hunger, fake news, mistrust, ignorance etc. not reasons enough?”
All the vocals and instruments on ‘WarGames’ have been recorded single-handedly by Harry, which is the case for most of his music. As a music therapist, Harry has mastered several instruments, in addition to vocal techniques, that he plays for his therapy clients. “WarGames” is a catalyst for change that aims to bring advocacy back to the music scene, while also serving as a prologue to Harry Kappen’s next full-length album, which is tentatively due for release in Spring of 2023.

Conquerors don’t back down. They don’t give up and this is where what our Lord Jesus said in John 16:33; “fear not, for I have overcome the world” after he said “in this world you will have many troubles” comes in place.

Of the troubles and the struggles that I faced

Of whatever may come my way

I am a winner
In Jesus Christ
More than a conqueror

ABOUT ARTIST
Li Yahweh (full name: Leah Bello),a Nigerian gospel minister, from Falokun-oja, Ilorin, Kwara state. She is an Evangelist and a daughter of Rev. Dr. Moses Adewale Bello (father) and Rev. Pastor. Dorcas Oluwatoyin Bello (mother), born in Lomé-Togo.
Born to a family of ministers, it is not far-fetched that she towed that path herself. She started singing in the choir at the age of 5 years as a child among adults, with classical music, “hallelujah chorus” by Handel Messiah being the first song she ever learned as a child.
Brought up in the way of the Lord, and regularly attending church as a pastor’s child, she began to get used to it and took interest in the things of God.
In 2005, her parents moved she and her brother back to their home in Nigeria to continue secondary school. She attended “Sow The Seed”(Alakia, Ibadan); “Seed Of Life” (Onireke Ibadan); “The Vale College” (Iyaganku, Ibadan). One thing LiYahweh always found herself doing throughout her school days was serving in the choir and this continued in the university.
Getting to ABUAD (Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti), she joined the choir almost immediately after her admission, served for the 4 years she studied and continues serving in the choir wherever she found herself after school, till date (during her NYSC and now in her home church)
A lover of Jesus, one who is dedicated to sharing the gospel and especially the love of Christ that has transformed her life over the years, LiYahweh enjoys preaching on platforms like Instagram and WhatsApp especially.
One of the studio music projects she was involved in earlier in her years was in 2010 where she was part of a group called “checkmates”, sponsored by the secondary school she was in at the time; TVC (The Vale College).
However, her first official single, debut single as a gospel artiste was in 2021, titled “Lord You Reign”. This encouraged her to look at that area (music) and how God can use her as a vessel to bring people to Him via undiluted worship.
This is the background of a young woman who is in love with Jesus and who has begun this journey with the Holy Spirit, as an available tool to bless souls and draw them to Christ Jesus for salvation.
International gospel music Artist, Bukola Anney has released a new song titled Bigger, the first single from her upcoming debut Album.
This song was Inspired by a sermon she heard from a great man of God, which sparked the words of the song.
This song will surely stir up a great faith in the heart of the listeners as they worship and praise the God who is bigger than everything eyes can see.
