Gospel Music just found a new Promise

“After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.” words from ― Aldous Huxley. Music is the cure to so many forms of illnesses and no one ever suffers from an overdose of it. The basic challenge though lies in content and dexterity.

Of all the genres of music though, Gospel music is the least celebrated as very few gospel artists really put their back into the trade. Many see it as a work of God so they tend to handle the music unprofessionally.. how sad. Few artists have been able to carve out a niche for themselves in quite short a space of time and such artists must be encouraged. I rarely do artists reviews but when I do, its important the world makes a mental note of these artists cos they will shake things up.

                                                           

            Born in Imo State, Nigeria Promise, Uche Benson is one name gearing up to take over the Gospel music industry in Nigeria. With a vocal dexterity sound and varied enough to make Israel Houghton wince, this graduate of Sociology from the University of Abuja in Nigeria, has been around for a while. His first album Time and Chance, spent no time on album shelves and indeed enjoyed success on airwaves. Already working on a second album titled Superman, Promse Benson is indeed a super man as he has pulled off works and penned down hit tracks with Asu Ekiye, Samsong, Chris Morgan, Buchi and myself (hopefully when I finish working on my voice enough to sing). 

                                          

With two singles already out Reality and Big one, its only a matter of time before this chap sits comfortably amongst the 'A list' gospel acts in this part of the world and invariably the globe at large.
