• While last week we were talking about the nether region, this week we are taking you to church. Our #BumpThis playlist is our best Nigerian gospel songs that have been released this year.

    Whether you’re new in your spiritual journey or looking to deepen your relationship with God, we curated this gospel playlist for you.

    Remember — Sinach

    In case you missed it, Sinach started her 2024 with Remember. She decrees excellence and greatness into her year. She’s convinced it’ll be a better year than the last — “You did before / It’s already done.” Although we’re in the T-Pain era, this song is for all seasons.

    Nothing Dey Spoil for God Hand — Timi Dakolo

    This song is an anthem for the gospel believers. As long as you believe there’s God, everything you put in his hands is safe.

    Sing Over Me — Dunsin Oyekan

    Dunsin Oyekan and his choir teach us how to sing about our  convictions with this song. It’s jazzy, smooth, emotive and, yeah, it’s still a worship session. 

    Sorry — Limoblaze

    Asking for forgiveness doesn’t have to be boring. Limoblaze surrenders his ego, and opens up that he’s only a human trying his best to obey all his God’s will, but he gets overwhelmed sometimes. With the song, he seeks forgiveness.

    Never Seen — Yadah

    Since Yadah began her faith journey, she’s not had a single regret. She sings of the fulfilled promises and unforsaken righteousness she experiences and enjoys in her walk with God. If you relate or are fishing for inspiration for a praise-and-worship jam session, Never Seen comes highly recommended.

    Devotion — Ko’rale

    Now, it’s praise time. Ko’rale surrenders his ego and centres on his God. He’s deeply in awe of the endless love his God has shown him and sings assuredly of the great friendship he finds in his God. 

    Grateful (I AM Standing) — Oba Reengy feat. Tobi Toun

    Gratitude-filled raps spazz between Oba Reengy and Tobi Toun. Fine verses from two guys who proudly wear their faith like badges.

    Definitely — Ada Ehi

    This song sings of 100% assurance in one’s faith. Ada Ehi declares that she’s healthy, and happy because Jesus is involved. This is an audio version of the Biblical scripture that says, “Go your way. Your faith has made you whole.”

    Dance Anyhow — Judikay

    Judikay isn’t promoting disorderliness here. She’s talking about dancing and praising her God how she likes. She is encouraging believers to express their fullness of joy in God’s presence through dance (lowkey, you’re exercising your body. Don’t dull).

    Agalliao — Pastor Iren Emmanuel & Nathaniel Bassey

    You need to bring in your two-step dance moves, jump for joy — just like the song title suggests in Hebrew — and proclaim your faith. Agalliao gets electrifying by every progression. You can lose yourself to this.

    Listen here:

  • A new year means a new direction for many believers. 

    For those who’ve set goals to express more gratitude, Spotify has crafted playlists with songs that express the essence of salvation. If you’re trying to be more prayerful, these playlists will ignite the prayer warrior in you too.

    Praise and Worship

    This playlist is 80 songs long, featuring Nigerian artists like Kent Edunjobi, South Africa’s Christina Shusho and the U.S’s Maverick City Music. A perfect balance of home and abroad gospel jams.

    On Bended Knees

    This playlist is long enough to take you through a five-hour prayer session. May the good Lord answer our prayers.

    Aseda

    Before the Yorùbá in you translates “aseda” to mean “creator”, know that it also means “gratitude” in Twi, a language spoken by the Ashanti in Ghana. That’s what this playlist is about. It’s made for you if you’re looking to explore gospel music from the Gold Coast.

    Redeemed

    A mixed all-African playlist featuring gospel artists like Lanre Teriba (Nigeria) and Malcom Rue (Uganda) and secular acts like Mr Eazi (Nigeria) and Khaligraph Jones (Kenya). This playlist recognises the faith-based perspectives of everyone; it’s a proper deception of “everyone is welcome to the fold.”
