“Get Up”
Batayah
From the album Simply Batayah
http://www.batayah.com/
Fueled by an insistent guitar/bass riff that sounds plucked from Chic’s “Le Freak” but cloaked overall in atmospheric neo-soul with a touch of house, “Get Up” implores the listener not to worry because God can do anything….so “serve Him today.”
The lovely Batayah’s latest single is an eminently danceable praise song.
Batayah is nominated in four categories in the upcoming 2012 Rhythm Of Gospel Awards, including Artist of the Year. Honoring the independent gospel artist, the Rhythm of Gospel Awards will be held July 28, 2012 in Jacksonville, Florida.

For an Indie Artist she is really doing her thing. We’re so glad to see someone with talent and the ability to work hard and do a ministry for God.
I love the song and her style. She’s classy but different and this is exactly what we need. I’m sure that there’s more to come because she has unspeakable fire and the drive!
I agree that Batayah is very lovely and very talented. It’s so wonderful to have an artist who dares to be different and have a different sound in the gospel arena as I understand that it takes guts and hard work, which in itself says alot about this artist. Keep up the good work little sister, we love you and your music ministry!
Thanks for following Batayah, I truely believe that this artist will go far! She is a rising star with a positive message and has earned every nomination that she has received. Can’t wait for her to expand and to see more from her.
Batayah is a true example of what it means to trust God and put your mind to doing something through faith. Batayah is an Independant Artist that loves the Lord and is doing his work. We hear and feel your ministry beautiful lady, keep up the good work.
Can the church say Amen! Beautiful woman and touching music, I just realized that she also writes and produces her music and music for others, what a rare and gifted gem.
Saw her live in Florida, she gave an awesome and annointed showing. Love the vibe.
