Popular gospel singer, Sammie Okposo has every
reason to smile this season. Just recently, the dark-skinned singer bagged the
Best Gospel Artiste at Nigeria Entertainment Awards in New York. Now, he has
released the first single off his next album, Who Tell You Say.
The singer said that this song was different and
listening to it, one might not know that it is a gospel song till the message
is heard because of its high tempo beat.
He said, “At first listen and if a careful
attention is not paid to the lyrics, one might not believe it’s a gospel song.
Who Tell You Say?’ has all the trappings of high rated music, very groovy and
different from the norm.”
He further said that it was time for the message
of God to be taken to clubs and other places that the gospel is not normally
preached.
“It’s high time we took our message to the clubs
and other places that the word of God is not preached. Gospel music should be
able to make playlists of different music stations and appeal to many souls. It
might be very groovy but the message is powerful enough to bring about change
in their lives. Gospel music should not be made for the church only because
everything we need is in the church. The time is now for gospel music to take
its rightful place in the Nigeria music industry,” Okposo said.
The singer said he will be dropping two of such
singles before the release of his next album temporarily scheduled for April
2014.
