Nigerian gospel artist and vocal powerhouse, Ada Ehi, is back with a new studio effort named “Higher” that is profoundly inspiring. The long-awaited project arrives at a time when aficionados of gospel music are looking for top-notch anthems infused with the spirit.
In the modern gospel music industry there is a constant need for crossover projects that integrate serious scriptural truths with contemporary sound arrangements. Christian listeners of days want music that will inspire them in their daily personal devotion but that will also sound well in church gatherings. So, this outstanding praise leader stitches together several sound approaches on this brief project to feed that spiritual desire. Nevertheless, the tracklist’s smooth flow lets listeners completely immerse themselves in a mood of heavy thankfulness.
A team of experienced music producers creates a very lively and broad soundscape with warm synthesizer keys and heavy acoustic guitar lines. Clean drum sequences and synthetic percussion loops that roll gently behind the primary melodies keep up a vibrant cadence. They add the primary chords on top of a thumping, slow burning bottom rhythm, which gives the music a lot of vitality. Still, the overall audio engineering is expansive, letting the vocal performances take the lead without crowding the mix.
Ada Ehi leads the lengthy electronic journey from the get go with full arrangement control and full voice assurance. She takes the listener through quiet times of prayer, then into high-energy cries of celebration. Her distinctive vocal strength and clear falsetto lines also contribute a highly fluid and dynamic texture to the instruments. Her seasoned performance thus establishes a really comfortable, thoughtful and reassuring tone for the entire timeframe.
Lyrically, there’s a lot of optimism, promotion, faith and claiming heavenly breakthroughs over life’s unexpected obstacles throughout the anthology. She sings with honesty about going from glory to glory, while thanking God for his unfailing protection in a turbulent environment. Her plain, straightforward English and common local idioms make her message easily applicable to the common believer.
This brief effort is successful because her passionate song choices are just perfect for the laid back, high quality production. The various musical aspects don’t conflict but rather complement each other well throughout the mix, making for a rejuvenating getaway. Thus the body of work turns out to be a very pleasing praise package that will easily dominate radio charts and gospel playlists.
So, make sure to add this gorgeous worship collection to your morning motivation rotation today. Now listen to the warm audio on your preferred digital music platform.
