Abuja-based gospel artiste, Agbani Horsfall, is set to virtually launch her new song, Holy Spirit, on Sunday, July 25. The multi-talented artiste disclosed that the virtual launch is an opportunity for her fans to ‘Meet and Greet’ with her. According to her, “The way I feel every time I want to release a new song is by spending more time in my prayer room, seeking God to move mightily as the world hears this song and allowing His presence be felt. Let lives be changed and Let God alone take the glory.”
She recalls that last year, she released her virtual debut album, ‘Spirit of The Living God’ with tracks like King of Kings, Belongs to You, Kiniyanabo, Love of My Life, Belema (Love), Same God, and Celebrate with various genres of music. Horsfall, who hails from Buguma in Rivers State, disclosed that she hopes to release more singles and next year, she will launch her second album. Talking about one of her songs, Ahurum-gi-nanya, she says it is about the Holy Spirit, her love for God and the way He loves and has blessed her.
And thanks to her friend based in United Kingdom, Ezzine, who helped translate the song for her. She adds that she doesn’t copy other people’s songs because she won’t encourage plagiarism. All her songs have always been her work, her thought and creativity and mostly inspired by the Holy Spirit. She thanks God for that because it is neither by my power nor by might alone. Speaking further she believes the role of a gospel artiste is to provide a way for people to maintain balance in their lives through their songs.
She also noted that it gives people to uphold a balance between their career, faith, family and daily lives as the role of gospel artistes is to uplift and encourage believers to preach the gospel of Christ through the instrumentality of music.
Agbani further stated that the messages in her songs had always been about salvation and Love. “Most importantly love is the bedrock of living. My music exhibits the deep love and affection I have for God who remains steadfast to us.
“I always express it in my music and also be a medium through which God speaks to people. There’s too much noise in the world about vulgar things, all mostly expressed in music and dance. If the things of God should be heard, music ministers need to do more.”
