Sammie Okposo
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.
