Currently in Africa, the ravaging Ebola virus and the frightening security threat by the Boko Haram insurgencies are the two situations that naturally call for divine intervention to engender peace in Africa.
Christians strongly believe that in times like these, prayers must be intensified. They believe with such prayers God’s mighty intervention will definitely change things. Seeking God’s hand in these hold-ups is undoubtedly what Evelyn Bright is perpetuating, in her latest gospel single, Daddy, Africa Needs You.
“Truly, we need God and urgently because we are being hit really hard,” the Maryland, USA-based singer said. To Bright, the abduction of the more than 200 teenage school girls in Nigeria’s northern town of Chibok and the Ebola mad waves are enough to make this 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 in 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.
