SONG REVIEW: C-Stas - Jesu Mi

SONG REVIEW: C-Stas - Jesu Mi

How often do you come across a group of young ladies in Nigerian gospel music who can actually sing? For me, it's rare.  As at the time of this review, C-Stas is one of two purely female Nigerian gospel groups I know.  If you know of any others, be sure to share their music with me at music@therelentlessbuilder.com.

Believe me, I am always on the lookout for female artistes who can really sing.

To get a real taste of C-Stas' flavor, check out their other single, Moni O.  That is my favorite single by this group till date.

Now, having said that, let me introduce their new single to you.  It's called Jesu Mi, which is Yoruba for "My Jesus," and you can listen to it below:

MUSIC: Dr. Sankty - Spirit of Peace Featuring T-Klex

MUSIC: Dr. Sankty - Spirit of Peace Featuring T-Klex

It is impossible to listen to this song and not notice the "Malian" (or is it Senegalese) influence in it.  This style is called AfroFusion.

Until I heard this track, the only other gospel artiste I had heard experiment with that "Malian" element was Kenny K'ore.  I like Dr. Sankty and T-Klex's version especially as they weave in noticeable Hausa lyrics into the song. Something different.  I like!

Okay, you can listen to it now. :-)

Although I have seen some album / song / single cover artwork that I liked, I have not shared them here in a while.  But today, that changes.

Behold this week's selection of eye-catching artwork for singles, albums, etc by Nigerian gospel artistes! Nice, aren't they?  Well, I thought so too.  Let me know which ones you particularly liked or don't care for.  Yes, tastes vary so I expect that you won't like some of them.

If you come across any you think should be featured here, please send the link(s) to music@therelentlessbuilder.com.

Here they are, in no particular order:
