‘King of Glory’ is an original Christmas carol that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. This song truly reflects how Christmas time is in Africa. It’s a summertime, a time to dance, be jolly and celebrate as families gather & share meals together.
I believe that people from different parts of the world will resonate with the message of this song and the Amapiano / Afrobeat style of the music. You can also look out to a fun music video dropping soon!
“I hope and pray that this song blesses you and your family during this festive season. I pray that you get reminded what this season is all about as you dance to the song. If you don’t know Christ or you’ve drifted away from Faith, my prayer is that this song will minister to your heart on whichever dance floor you find yourself on this Christmas season.” – Kingdmusic
