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 told Saturday Beats 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 told Saturday Beats 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.
