Internationally renowned worship leader Eric Reverence reconnects with his West African roots on his new single, ‘Oluwa’,
It’s a simple one-word title, but it says a lot. ‘Oluwa’ (the Yoruba word for God) is an exuberant, joyful Afrobeat Gospel tune, designed to usher in 2022 on a note of thanksgiving and expectation. Eric wrote and recorded the song during a successful tour in Nigeria in November 2021
The making of ‘Oluwa’ marks a sort of homecoming in Eric’s own personal journey. Ghanaian-born Eric moved to Canada in 1991 and eventually to the UK in 1992, but his memories of childhood in Ghana weren’t particularly happy ones. “Life in Ghana was a huge struggle as I was always told by my teachers and head teacher that I was useless and worthless,” he recalls. Eric’s ministry as a worship leader and Gospel artist has taken him across the UK and to the USA, Ghana, Netherlands and Latvia, but it’s always been with a more western pop sound.
And thenin 2020 Covid-19struck and George Floyd was murdered. Both those events got Eric thinking that it was time for him to return to his African roots – musically at least. A tour of Nigeria followed, and the concept for ‘Oluwa’ was born. Produced by Tobass Adolphus, the song combines the sounds of the various tribes of both Nigeria and Ghana. The joy and vibrancy of the song is expressed beautifully in the accompanying video, with its breathtaking choreography, made by the Nigerian production company Justice DH Films and creative Director Austine Holy.
“God has seen us through a lot in the last year,” Eric says. “‘Oluwa’ is a song of thanksgiving to God for what he’s brought us through, and of anticipation for what he has in store for us next.”
Gospel Singer and “I Move” crooner P. Sandy has released another powerful sound “Victory Shout“. The song “Victory Shout”, is a song of victory in acknowledgment of all Christ has done and finished for us.
In the light of this, we raise our halleluyahs, and display our victory dance of praise to our God almighty. Put on your dancing shoes and let’s give the Lord some victory praise.

The gospel music minister and praise warrior Zion Yetunde Are is yet out with a new music video titled “Praise Warfare.”
On the altar where all spirits converge and bow, where noises are heard, the kind of noise different from any other. All soul and spirit witnesses the sacrifice burning with extreme fire and angels ascending and descending by the reason of the sweet savour.
And that is how we fight and win our wars, that is our weapon to disengage our enemies. The Israelites back in the days of Moses know what this means.
The spearmen and warlords are supposed to be on the war front, but no, people you find there are singers burning internally with fire and with cymbals, trumpets, and tambourines in their hands.
We now have our WARLORD and His name is no other than that mighty and terrifying name, the name that disengages authorities, and dominion and power and renders them useless in their coven, the mighty man of Calvary, JESUS CHRIST!
It’s time for battle and Praise Warfare by Zion Yetunde Are is here to dress you for battle. That’s how we win, it is our weapon and power!

Aberdeen, NC: A young gospel music veteran, Ruth La’Ontra, has dropped her first new track and music video since 2017’s Billboard Top Ten smash, “Kingdom” (ALJR/Tyscot). Her dazzling vocals shine on “Did It Again” (ALJR/Tyscot) that is available on all major digital service platforms.
The twenty-something singer teams with newcomer producer, Jeffrey Thomas II of the Indianapolis-based gospel group Thomas & The Situation; and veteran producer, Claudius Craig; for a fun, bouncy, up-tempo track that serves as a fine re-introduction. The message is one of gratitude to God for His many blessings. Thomas serves as emcee (a la Kirk Franklin), egging La’Ontra on as her superior soprano soothes, squalls, and inhabits every fiber of this passionate declaration. On the climatic fade, a swirl of organ fills and Memphis-styled horn riffs, fuse with La’Ontra’s vocal for a gritty, down-home field holler that could raise James Brown from his slumber. “I like the vibe and the message of the song,” La’Ontra says. “Every time I listen to it, it makes me happy. I like the fact that my kids want me to keep it on repeat every time they hear it.”
“I was looking for several months for a new song that would showcase Ruth’s voice, her youth, and her personality,” Craig says. “Then, I heard this demo from Thomas & The Situation and knew right away that this would be a great match for her phenomenal voice. She can sing anything, and with her versatile vocal ability, I felt that this would showcase both her soulful and churchy chops on this great sing-along groove.”
The song was recorded in Indianapolis at Alan Johnson’s legendary Static Shack studio where a variety of artists have recorded and the syndicated comedy program, The Bob & Tom Show, has been produced for over 25 years. “When Ruth got to the studio to record `Did It Again’ we were vibing to the track,” Thomas recalls. “She was doing all these incredible runs and riffs, then turns to me mid run and says, `I ain’t doing all that talking and hype stuff… I don’t know who y’all think I am.’ We laughed for about 10 minutes after that.”
