Multiple awards winning gospel star, Globacom Ambassador and United Nations Ambassador for Peace, Sammie Okposo is starting the new year on a good note.
With presence of some of his colleagues in the gospel music industry, Okposo recently shot the video for one of the songs on his latest album, Praise Party.
Speaking on what inspired the Praise Party song as he is about to release the video this week, Okposo said, “ I looked around and discovered that as Christians, we wanted to be able to dance, have fun and still keep the environment sane and clean but this was not an easy thing to do because all the groovy beats and songs out there that we would really love to dance to all have very unclean lyrics.
“So immediately I saw that there was a vacuum that needed to be filled and also I saw that the young generation have all come to the conclusion that gospel music is boring and unfashionable, so I decided that I was going to sample very groovy beats, rewrite the whole lyrics, re-arrange them and churn out a praise party mix that will firstly let the youths know that they can party hard without dressing crazy, cursing and unclean lyrics.
Also so that Christians can have a good time dancing without feeling guilty about the content of the beat they are dancing to”. entertainment personalities present at the Praise Party music video shoot include; Eric Arubayi, Bouqui, Nikki laoye, Anny, DJ Gosporella, Ochuko Usifo, Onos,Pflo, Xplicit Dance Crew, Duby ,Gospogroove and lots more.
The video was directed by T frizzle and co-directed by Sammie Okposo. Praise Party is part of the 15 tracks on Okposos’s album released last year with an album launch concert in Lagos and Abuja featuring American gospel star, Dietrik Haddon.
