“These inspired me to do a medley and collections of the inspirational hymns in an African juju percussion groove style considering that hymn reading sessions in churches can sometimes be boring, so we spice it up with the danceable rhythm.”
Ola is a great stage performer, his musical journey started when he performed at naming ceremonies and Praise Nights (church concerts). And he has continued to thrill his audience and fans ever since. His style of music is Gospel Juju.
This sophomore album serves as a follow up to his debut album released in 2019 titled ”E gbe Ga (Lift Him Up)” and a single “Anu ni Mo bere (it is mercy that I ask for)” which is a track in his latest album.
