Reblah gives thanks to the Most High in album, ‘Holy Impact’

REBLAH‘s latest project was actually inspired by a divine encounter with the Holy Spirit in July 2020, unveils a transformative musical journey titled ‘Holy Impact.’ The revelation of this title lingered in Reblah’s mind until 2023 when a divine directive came to manifest it into a 12-track album, a number deeply symbolic in Hebrew, associated with power and the establishment of God’s Kingdom. Amidst the creative process, the artist faced personal loss, including that of his Christian mentor, Bishop, Reverend Bennett Olabayo who discipled Reblah.

‘Holy Impact’ not only pushes the boundaries of Reblah’s artistic expression but also signifies a commitment to elevate studio quality and production. Esteemed in Christ, the artist embarked on a global collaboration effort, reaching out to Gospel artists worldwide. Miraculously, each petitioned features, including Jenge, Coco Dupree, Marie Love, Becca Folkes, Rehmahz, Ryan Hylton, Marizu, Shirlvin Desir, Nashbi, and Zelijah Tishbite, became a reality by God’s sovereign grace.

‘Holy Impact’ is not just an album; it’s a spiritual offering aiming to glorify the name of King Jesus (Yahweh saves) and leave an indelible mark globally. Reblah, alongside the faithful collaborators, invites audiences to experience the divine resonance and impact of this musical journey. Why not have a listen below…

Singer/songwriter/composer OLAEDO IBE gives a glimpse of her triumphs, challenges and her relationship with God in her brand new album, ‘Golden Skin’, released 27th October across various music platforms.

Produced by G-Kid, ‘Golden Skin’ album starts off with vibrant sounds of the Motherland in ‘Royalty’, which sees Olaedo showing gratitude for God’s love and guidance – through the good and bad times. She continues to show her appreciation for the Most High in the previously released soulful ballads, ‘Manifest’ and ‘The Divine Exchange’, where she expressed the desire to build a deeper connection.

The ten-track project also touches on various topics that are close to Olaedo’s heart, such as mental health, healing, practicing forgiveness, self-love and self- worth.

While spending a few years of her childhood in Nigeria, she was introduced to a plethora of different types of music, counting Cece Winans, Stevie Wonder, Janet Jackson, Blanca and Mary Mary as her biggest music influences.

Her distinctive soulful sound, profound lyrics and inspirational message became a force to be reckoned with after the release of debut EP ‘Shine like Gold’ which featured her debut single, ‘Dust with Life’. The single was featured on Yahoo! Screen homepage and earned her a Premier Gospel award and MOBO nomination.

Olaedo continues to gain recognition with second project ‘Grow to Glow’ released in 2018 which featured hit singles ‘Lead Me (Olaedo’s Psalm 2), ‘Good Life’ and ‘Fill Us, a song for children about the fruits of the spirit’. ‘Lead Me’ was Olaedo’s first top-ten single on the UK Christian Chart and became a favourite on Premier Gospel with the accompanied music video played on TBN UK. Featuring Leke & Becca Folkes, ‘Good Life’ and ‘Fill US’ also became a top-ten hits on The UK Christian chart, both peaking at No 2.

Alongside her impressive music career, Olaedo travels around the country, giving motivational speeches at various youth events, colleges, churches. Olaedo Ibe currently creates Christian meditation videos and hosts show, #YourHealthMatters on IG live.
