Johe Obe is a fast paced blend of English and indigenous Igede lyrical content, it’s a praise song that revels on the boundless goodness of the Lord, this inspiration thrives on the victories, healings, deliverances and the loving – kindness of the Lord. It’s a song full of zest, power and impact, it’s anchored on Psalm 150.
The music is groovy, hot, spicy and dynamic in nature. Recall that this dynamic Minister had earlier released Igwe in December 2016 across major music sites, Igwe which featured Georgeline Ikape is a soulful, heartfelt adoration of God in the most solemn form. Both songs are freely available for download. He is set to release his audio album “The Unveiling” a month’s time.
