While life can be uncertain and the trend disturbing, it is comforting to know that God has a plan. What is lost can certainly be found by the grace of God’s love, and singer-songwriter Yemi Alafifuniis here to deliver this message.
Grammy considered, and steadily growing within the Christian/Gospel scene, Yemi’s rich vocal tones and textures, along with his miraculous ability for writing lyrics, has released a new single, “Found” across all streaming platforms.
Found was written at two different times both demanding a response to a simple question; what are you looking for that God can’t fulfil?
The chorus of this song was written a few years ago as a response to self-gratification thoughts. Yemi survived extremely difficult situations growing up and wondered in awe how God brought him through. In my mind, I believe I have lived a good life becoming a Christian at a young age but it wasn’t that I could keep myself but God found me and kept me from all harm – both spiritually and physically.
What is so special about me, Yemi asked. The answers are summarised in the lyrics and the core is that God found me… Yemi explained. He came running for me, even when I didn’t deserve it.
The entire song describes different moments of Yemi’s experiences coined through the lenses of these two scriptures;
1 John 4:10; This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Jeremiah 29:13; You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.

Multiple award-winning singer/songwriter, Jekalyn Carr, will release her new single, I Believe God, on February 10, 2023. The single will be followed by a music video, premiering later in the month.
Carr has this to share about her latest single, “I BELIEVE GOD is a reminder to ALL that there’s no expiration date on the miraculous power of God. All He asks of us is to believe. The Bible tells us in Mark 16:17, “These signs shall follow them that believe”.
Many times, things that occurred or are occurring can cause many to lose faith because we tend to worry about something that is God’s responsibility, which is to perform.
You bring the belief; He’ll bring the sign. All God wants you to do is believe and He will take it from there. I BELIEVE GOD is a reminder to you that if you have the faith to believe, He’ll answer you with what you need. Take the limits off of God & watch Him perform”.
In 2021, Carr became the first gospel artist to be inducted into the Women’s Songwriters Hall of Fame and in 2022, she received the Lifetime Achievement Award from President Joe Biden.
During the 2022 holiday season, Carr graced the cover of Pandora’s Christmas Spirit mode and was featured on Pandora’s billboard in New York Times Square. Carr also performed in New York City at the famed Carnegie Hall, in a sold-out event titled “Night Of Inspiration,” which was produced by Ray and Vivian Chew of Chew Entertainment.
Carr performed “Mary Don’t You Weep,” with the legendary gospel singer, Shirley Caesar, and took part in a tribute to Richmond Smallwood singing, “Total Praise,” but the highlight of the night was Carr performing an original piece of her own music, “It’s Yours,” with the Carnegie orchestra.

We’re ready!” Logan Cain includes, “This feels different to me than anything we’ve done before. It’s so personal.”
