One word to describe this song: Beautiful. With the way the Nigerian gospel music industry has evolved in the last couple of years, a lot of artistes have capitalized on the contemporary worship genre, but not all of them get it right.
Sammie Utsu with his single, Anyinekelegi, gets it right, in my opinion. It hit all the right notes instrumentally, arrangement-wise, vocally and in fact, pata-pata! He took a familiar song and re-worked it and made it his own.
Can you tell that I love this song? I made it that obvious, huh? :-) I still don't know what the Igbo lyrics mean, so please help me if you do. Thanks in advance.
My only gripe with this song has nothing to do with the music; it has to do with the cover artwork. A song of this calibre deserves better cover artwork. I think the picture is okay, but the typography needs a lot of work. It needs to be fixed pronto!
Having said that, here is the press release that came with the song:
