Laraa throws in beautiful melismas here and there in the second verse, with the digital violin also making its debut. The ‘sltdr’ from the piano takes me back to Chidinma’s ‘Jehovah Overdo’. Actually, it’s the other way round. #checckit! here. Laraa’s vocals are so light and smooth, I bet she has the whistle range…
Ada has an incredibly calming country twang resting on this worshipy pop beat. The back ups are mellow on this track, but I can hear Ada’s steady focus in every syllable as she keeps hammering on ‘Everything’. It takes me back to Ada’s live rendition of ‘Cheta’ at her London tour…
Smokie’s vocals are robust and sunny as he growls happily, tackling his panning and backing vocals himself with equal dexterity. This rendition reminds me slightly of Kim Burrell’s ‘Just A Little More Time’, as well as Nene Uko’s ‘Temi Dara’…

Enjoying this song is like eating strong meat with the greats…
I love the way Xolly Mncwango adlibs; its makes me feel at home. My favourite line is where she sings ‘My covering is in the blood of Jesus’. The bass does a yummy number on this piece
This worship pop beat by Cece always gives me a rush of adrenaline with its beat, energising me with stunning immediacy. It feels like a barrage of glorious waters on D major. The chorus is laced with…
Koryn does growl her heart out after the bridge, and the mix controls it, making it even prettier. The chorus allows the bass guitar shine with yummy deliciousness…
Jonathan McReynolds’ performance of ‘People’: was nice and animated in a chill way, reminding me of Jimmy Needham. It started with the acoustic guitar, which was sure to reverberate…
Do you long to hear God more clearly than before and to feel his presence even more. Do you want to more efficiently discern His instructions?
Jesus showed up in the Old Testament as Commander of God’s armies when Joshua asked ‘Are you for us or against us?’, leaving Joshua with nothing but a surrender to God’s instructions. That should be our posture as sons of God
