Growing up has a child , music played a significant role in my life. It was a part of my being and existence as a child. Being in a family where music is fully expressed might have been the reason for such a habit I still hold on to till date.
I specifically pay more attention to the lyrics of songs in order to get into the mind of the artiste and feel the intensity of their emotions.
Although I love music and the talent alongside but I had specials.
My specials include, gospel music, Rhythm and blues,and Jazz. These three genres I love.
My focus however is on gospel music. I grew up loving Ron Kenoly,Don Moen, Kirk Franklin,
Mary Mary,Cece Winans,Funmi Aragbaye,Pana Percy Paul,Wale Adenuga and many more.
Recently from my single days up to me becoming a mother and a wife, I have grown or rather fallen in love with the songs of this great Nigerian female artiste- Psalmos
This year marks ten years that I have been listening to the songs by Psalmos.
My love for gospel music is as a result of me willing to get consistently closer to God, Psalmos however has helped me over time.
She has 2 albums to her name and her creativity. So my piece to you is to share what I have learnt over these years listening to her music.
1. "He good" is one of her songs that has taught me that i am unique and special even if I see myself has irrelevant, inadequate or nothing. Also I learnt that I am who I am all by the Grace of God.
2. " Orin Tuntun"(New song), is a dance track in which I have come to understand that God will never stop giving me a new song to sing. And that I should always share them to the world of His greatness over my life.
3. From her song "Ku se" I also learnt that I have a God who is my Father. He is a father who is always available, he understands me and knows my worth. Why should I fear?
4." Agame" is a another song by Psalmos which is a fusion of Yoruba and Igbo language. I learnt that giving my all to God is all I can give because that's what He expects from me. I can never sing enough or even dance enough to bring glory to His name.
5. "Only you" is another track in which I also learnt that God is all I got. He has got my back all the way.
I can go on and on and on but in all , I have truly learnt that God is good, God is with me all the way no matter what.
That's my experience over the years that I have got listening Psalmos- the instrument of worship.
