From time to time, JGM likes to find interesting songs from Africa, where gospel music is vibrant, and present them here.
“People of Light” is one. This beautifully-produced and stirring anthem calls on believers to join forces as an army of good and let their light shine “like never before.” It is led by Ritasoul, a Nigerian singer whose commanding soprano is fortified by a team of tight musicians and background vocalists who literally sound like the army she calls forth.
Relevant words for such a time as now. Produced by A4 Jeazy.
