African gospel: New single entrusts health, security crisis in God’s hand

Ernest Kanjo / ••Sunday•, 12 •October• 2014 14:32•

evelyn TIPTOPSTARS The health stalemate caused by the ravaging Ebola virus and the frightening security threat brought about by the invasion of Boko Haram are two current situations that naturally call for divine intervention for the sake of Africa’s peaceful growth process. Christians have held strongly that in times like this, prayers must be multiplied. In such prayers, God’s mighty intervention is definitely prominent. Seeking God’s hand in these hold-ups is undoubtedly what Evelyn Bright is opting for, in her latest gospel single, Daddy, Africa Needs You.

“Truly, we need God and do so urgently because we are being hit really hard,” the Maryland, USA-based singer told TIPTOPSTARS. To Bright, the adduction of the more than 200 teenage school girls in Nigeria’s northern town of Chibok and the Ebola mad wave are enough to make such a clarion call. In the 4.50-minute long track, packaged in Dream Recording Studio and produced by Walta Blackson, the committed singer pleads to the Almighty that He is needed by the continent at this critical moment to turn things around.

Featuring in the single that has been released today are two of Cameroon’s up-and-coming gospel artists in the US – Pandita Njoh and Angel Nganbou.

Daddy, Africa Needs You comes after Stormy Winds (featuring Immanuel Etta) and Shout and Praise, a much earlier single by the same artist.
