Gospel artist Laolu Gbenjo shares his thoughts on the significance of varied music genres.
In an interview with Channels Television on ‘The Morning Brief’, Laolu Gbenjo emphasized that a world with only gospel music would lack excitement, highlighting the need for different types of songs to match various occasions.
Gbenjo explained that diverse music genres see to different emotions and events, such as love songs for weddings and praise songs for celebrations.
He acknowledged that while gospel music is his passion, other genres have their place in creating a rich musical landscape.
He said:
“We have to be sincere to ourselves, if everybody sings gospel, the world will be boring. That’s the truth. If anyone is getting married, you don’t expect me to sing gospel all through, there are love songs and celebration praise. It’s just a celebration”, he said.
He further revealed that he started his singing career, noting his father’s influence as a pastor.
“I started singing because my father was a pastor”, he said.
In another story, Kcee Limpopo revealed that he has made more money from Gospel music than he has made his entire career.
This is coming after the Limpopo crooner claimed many people condemned the gospel album, telling him that his musical career is over.
Kcee who some days ago dropped a trending single, Ojapiano made the revelation while speaking with hosts on Cool FM, Lagos.
The Singer who was formerly in the Hip Hop duo group called Kc Presh is currently signed to his younger brother, E Money’s record label Five Star Music.
Kcee’s gospel album is his most streamed work till date and the artist claimed that even before the project was released, he knew it would be a commercial success.
In Kcee’s words;
“When I did the gospel [album] and a lot of people were like, ‘It’s over, he is actually going close to his village. Now he’s taking the music to the village.’
That was horrible. When I heard that I was like, okay, let’s see how that works. And it didn’t happen. I made more money from it [the gospel album]; more than any ever before in my whole career.”
