Cobhams Asuquo is one of Nigeria’s leading music producers, song-writers and musicians. Take some time to listen to his 2017 Christian Gospel album For You, a fantastically arranged list of songs that will inspire you to sing and want to write songs.
You will feel God’s presence with his beautifully arranged, composed and at times rearranged songs that will make you yearn for more.
Asuqwo is visually impaired from birth and he reminds me of Stevie Wonder, whose ability to write, compose and sings is not hampered by his inability to see.
Asuquo brings a song like Praise to the Lord, the Almighty into the 21st century , a well known hymn song based on Joachim Neander’s German hymn “Lobe den Herren, den mächtigen König der Ehren,” published in 1680 and still played to date at weddings, and reaches out to a new generation.
“Here I am” brings out his own rendition of the song. “Eyin sa” (You are the One) is a Yoruba worship song Asuquo sings with conviction that God is the only one God. “You are Highly Lifted up” is another song that showcases the quality of the session players accompanying Asuquo.
“Ordinary People” which he wrote, implores us to live the way God wants us to. Asuquo has made a couple of old songs new.
This 14-track CD is a must for Gospel music lovers.
When sold by Amazon.com, this product For You is manufactured on demand. I recommend.
