WASHINGTON DC – Nigerian-American music producer, Singer-songwriter and Trumpeter Jumbo Aniebiet has put forward his 3rd release in 90 days titled “Be Lifted.”
“Be Lifted” was not part of Jumbo’s original release plan which was spread over a period reaching to January 2025. While reviewing the recordings from the 10th edition of “We Will Worship” (an annual worship outreach known as “We Will Worship” which is currently in its tenth year), held at the Civic Center in downtown Silver Spring, Maryland, the spirit of God impressed on Jumbo’s heart that this powerful moment of worship needed to be released. The words of the song are simple;
“Jesus be lifted high Yahweh be lifted high All power belongs to you In my life be lifted high.”
Jumbo believes that this should be the earnest cry of the heart of God’s children. He says “It is time we move past mere words and pointing fingers at others to truly embracing our identity in Christ as sons and daughters. By doing so, we and nations will become a reflection of our father who is in heaven.”
“Be Lifted” is his third single in 90 days with four more singles scheduled for release and should all have been released by January 2025.
Church of God Mission International – Urora Provincial headquarters Solution Choir have released a brand new three track album titled “Jesus My Testimony”.
According to the group, the motivation for this project came during a teaching series on the theme of the month of July 2021- Focusing on Christ for Abundant Provision and Testimonies as declared by Archbishop M.E. Idahosa.
“The teaching made it clear that God’s vision is for Jesus to be made known to the entire world and that a true testimony promotes the kingdom of God and not the otherwise. For us as believers, the person of Jesus and all He did on the cross is our SUREST TESTIMONY. It was at this point that l was led by the Holy Spirit to mandate my Choir (Solution Choir) to do a song titled JESUS MY TESTIMONY”, Rev Chris Aghedosa (Head Pastor) said.
Solution choir is the music team of church of God mission Urora Provincial headquarters located @ 15, Osagiede Agho Street Urora Quarters Benin City.

Speaking about his latest single, Lanre said ‘You Do well’ is very special to me because it summarises the story of my life. As a teenager, I was very messed up. Many of my friends with whom I did some pretty bad things are either dead or in jail as we speak.
To be where I am today and be in a place where I can be a blessing to people is simply attributed to the mercy of God and the gift of salvation. This song came from a place of deep reflection and realization that I am here today only by the mercies of God”.

Richard Lynch, a well-known Christian and country singer-songwriter, farmer, and philanthropist, has recently found himself at the center of controversy for his latest single, “God & Trump.” The song, part of his upcoming album Some Days are Better Than Others, unapologetically celebrates traditional American values and expresses support for former President Donald Trump.
While the song resonates with a significant portion of Lynch’s fan base who share his conservative values and love of traditional country music, it has also sparked a wave of backlash from liberal media outlets and some listeners who view it as divisive and inflammatory.
“God & Trump” is a straightforward expression of Lynch’s beliefs, featuring themes of faith, patriotism, and support for Trump’s leadership. In keeping with his signature style, the song blends heartfelt lyrics with a traditional country sound, appealing to those who feel sidelined by the cultural shifts in modern America. However, its release has triggered strong reactions, with some media personalities and stations openly condemning the song’s message and the artist behind it.
The backlash has included harsh criticism from various media and radio personalities, some of whom have called Lynch’s lyrics “appalling” and accused him of promoting a narrow-minded worldview. Emails sent to Lynch’s representatives have ranged from disdainful to outright hostile, with some expressing that they do not want to associate with what they perceive as an endorsement of Trump’s politics or Christian conservatism.
Words like “bigotry,” “ignorance,” and “hate” have been used to describe both the song and Lynch himself, with one critic even suggesting that his lyrics encourage violence. Additionally, several radio stations have stated they would not play the song due to its pro-Trump content, citing concerns over listener backlash and their own political stance.
This response highlights the larger cultural divide within the country music industry, where artists who openly embrace conservative themes face pushback in an environment that is increasingly diverse in political views. Lynch’s supporters, however, argue that the criticism reflects an intolerance toward conservative perspectives in the entertainment industry.

To them, “God & Trump” serves as a rallying cry for those who feel their values are underrepresented in mainstream media. These fans see Lynch as an artist who is not afraid to speak his truth, regardless of the backlash, and praise him for staying true to his roots.
The controversy around “God & Trump” is not an isolated incident. Over the past decade, country music has become a battleground for broader cultural and political debates in America. As the genre has expanded to include a wider array of voices and viewpoints, some of its traditional fanbase feels alienated by what they see as a shift away from the core themes of faith, patriotism, and blue-collar values.
At the same time, artists who continue to champion these themes often find themselves at odds with industry gatekeepers who are wary of alienating more progressive audiences.
Richard Lynch, however, is no stranger to controversy or to standing up for his beliefs. Throughout his four-decade career, he has remained steadfast in his commitment to the values of rural America, even when that has meant weathering criticism. Beyond his music, Lynch is known for his philanthropic work, particularly with his Love Tattoo Foundation, which supports veterans, further cementing his reputation as someone dedicated to his community and country.
In response to the backlash, Lynch has not backed down from the song’s message. Instead, he has doubled down on his position, stating that “God & Trump” is meant to resonate with those who feel disenfranchised by rapid cultural changes. He believes that many Americans still value traditional faith and patriotism, even if those ideals are sometimes met with scorn in the media.
While the song has certainly stirred controversy, it has also received support from listeners who share Lynch’s beliefs. Several fans have praised the song’s unapologetic stance, seeing it as a necessary voice in a genre that sometimes seems to shy away from politically charged themes. Lynch’s supporters argue that “God & Trump” is not about hatred or division, but about expressing a set of deeply held values that are often dismissed or marginalized in today’s cultural climate.
Ultimately, the controversy surrounding “God & Trump” is emblematic of the broader tensions in American culture and the ongoing debate over who gets to define the values represented in country music.
Richard Lynch’s stance, and the reactions to it, reflect a divide that runs deeper than music itself, touching on fundamental questions about identity, freedom of expression, and the role of artists in political discourse. For Lynch, the song remains a testament to his unyielding commitment to his beliefs, even in the face of significant opposition.

“This is not the first communion song I’ve recorded, but what I like about it is how it is an invitation to the downtrodden, people in need – that theme of the gospel inviting people who are marginalized to the table,” shares Fernando, quoting the lyrics in verse two of the song, “Sister take what you need, anything I own. There is no famine here, the love of Jesus multiplies. Brother what’s mine is yours, you are not alone. There is no shortage here, the love Jesus satisfies.”
The single also features harmonies by Fernando’s 15-year-old daughter, Ruby, who has sung at New York’s Carnegie Hall and is slated to sing at Disneyland Park in the near future with her state championship-winning high school choir.
“She has a fantastic sense of pitch and started making up harmonies to the song as she heard it on the way to and back again from school,” remembers Ortega. “This song is one of our favorites on the upcoming EP.”
