The beautiful thing about covers is the fact that they are relatable as listeners would be familiar with them but when they are done right it strikes a chord and introducers the artist into the consciousness of the listeners easily. This is the kind of cord Toyin Mercy’s brand new collection of praise songs aptly titled “King Of Wonders” strikes from the first note to the last sound.
Christian music minister Toyin Mercy born Toyin Mercy Odeyemi Ajibua releases her debut project; a collection of beautiful praise songs, King of Wonders; a praise medley that houses hot praise tunes written by her.
A lover of good gospel music and a music minister whose inspiration is the Holy Spirit, she’s always thrilled when she leads people into God’s presence for a divine encounter.
King Of Wonders is a collection that she was inspired to create and was produced/engineered by ace producer Lolade Daniels aka Gifted Hands.

Kierre Bjorn, an international Worship Leader, Artist, and Songwriter, releases today his new single “Little Seed” featuring the Grammy Award winning Naomi Raine (Maverick City Music). Using lyrics such as, “From the very beginning, you were sowing and planting. You saw the forest and the tree, the wood that would hold a king,” the track is steeped in intention and begs the listener to pause, breathe, and reflect.
Speaking on the new single, Kierre says: “God planted a seed with the achieved intention of saving us from sin and death. All the ails of this world, from COVID-19 to war — from racism to cancer….God saw it ALL. So a decision was made. The blood of Yeshua would run down a tree, spilling over into the lineages of all people groups, giving an invitation into the family of God and victory. Death’s sting is a mirage and every grave that contains the earthly body of his children is a doorway, not a final resting place. There is a hope that cannot be shaken or changed. The price was paid. Thank you Jesus for the cross.”
Kierre has recorded and toured with many chart topping Christian artists like Tasha Cobbs Leonard, Elevation worship, Will Reagan & United Pursuit, and more. Collaboration is a passion for him as he is also an accomplished Songwriter in the Christian music industry having written songs for artists like Common Hymnal, Housefires, Maverick City Music, Bri Babineaux and a host of others. Kierre’s musical influences span across all genres of music like pop, R&B, jazz, classical, Gospel, CCM, country, and alternative.
With a diverse background in the arts, Kierre has been in numerous stage shows and has performed off-broadway as well as the Kennedy Center. He has served as a board member for youth/teens for the National Black Theater Festival and has performed numerous stage shows with that same company since he was 12 years old. Kierre studied music business with a concentration in classical voice at Winston Salem State University. He gratefully serves on the executive board of worship for the Full Gospel Baptist Church International Fellowship and has been part of the organization since 2007.
At 12 years old, he learned what it meant to be a worship leader and he’s never looked back. It was there in his childhood that his love for diversity and multicultural/multiethnic worship was birthed. Today, he stands firm on Biblical justice and remains committed to being an active participant in the reconciling of the church. With the release of “Little Seed” and more to come, Kierre continues to cement himself as one to watch for the rest of 2022 and beyond. Stay tuned for more music on its way.

Worship leader and songwriter Amanda Cook releases new music with her single titled “Where The War Ends.” The official lyric video can be viewed below. “Where the War Ends” is available now.
Mission House release a new live dual single from their upcoming album. ‘Behold/Never See The End’ revisits the two songs in the context of a room full of friends, delighting in music and the presence of the Lord during a live recording in Raleigh, North Carolina.
The deluxe single carries Mission House’s soulful and organic folk, exhibiting the sensitivity and distinctive of the only female duo in the worship music sphere. ‘Behold’ was written by Mission House’s Taylor Leonhardt a few years ago inspired by the apostle John’s dream. in Revelation 21:5, “Behold, I am making all things new.” She started dreaming in turn of what this reality would look like. Poets, storytellers, artists, and songwriters have been exploring suffering for as long as we’ve known it, and when Mission House started playing the song people would approach them with stories of loss, abuse, grief, and addiction. Yet, these stories of heartbreak also spoke of healing, hope, and resurrection.
Mission House’s prayer is that ‘Behold’ would inspire us to believe a little more in the resurrection, not only in the distant future but here and now. ‘Never See The End’ drives this message home through the lens of God’s eternal and enduring goodness. Written by Jess Ray, the second single was built on her mother’s contagious testimony and seeks to communicate the beauty of trusting in Jesus’s endless good Nature. With their new live deluxe single, Mission House remind their listeners that when we can’t count on anything else, we can count on God’s promise to be present through it all and to make all things new.
