Florocka & Nikki Laoye – You Are Good (TheWorship Sessions Vol 2)

Multi-Talented Recording artist, FLOROCKA has just

released another single, “You are Good “, off his

recently released double CD album, The Worship

Sessions Volume 1 & 2.

A beautiful collaboration with the award winning

singer, Nikki Laoye, the song is a soul stirring

masterpiece of worship, superbly delivered by the

two artists.

FLOROCKA speaks about the inspiration and

creation of the song –

“Whilst working on the 2nd volume of my Worship

Sessions Album, I felt the urge to write about the

goodness of God (Jesus Christ) to me. I had long

yearned for a song that could give me room to

express my gratitude. I then decided to title the

song exactly the way i ‘felt’ – ‘YOU ARE GOOD ’.

I had just recently recorded the instrumentals and

i’d begun voicing my lead vocals but i encountered

a problem. I simply couldn’t go past verse One! The

thought of a collabo never really crossed my mind

and as such i kept biting at the song till i eventually

got stuck! I’m extremely particular about who i

feature on a song a lot of times. I love singers who

pay attention to detail; singers who sing enunciate

every nuance and observe the mood of the song,

not just flinging riffs and runs at every space in

between the the backing vocals. I love a singer who

knows how to be true to the ‘song’ and not just the

melodies behind the song in itself.

I thought hard for a female whom i could feature

and just then Nikki Laoye gives my mobile a buzz!

Speak of perfect timing! I immediately asked her if

she was game on a collaboration and she said YES!

In less than 16 hours Nikki was at my

‘workshop’ (that’s what my buddy Mike Abdul loves

to call my studio – only God knows why!!!). We

discussed the song in depth and I succinctly

expressed the inspiration behind the song. Nikki

wanted to know what i expected of her – a rare

attribute. Most eager singers would simply jump on

the song in excitement and miss the very essence

for which they were called upon for the collabo in

the first instance.

Nikki also besides being a soulful and versatile

singer understands the ‘taste, touch and scent’ of

music. She leaves no detail in a limbo. I take

pleasure in making the best of good musicians and

as such i decided i was going to write ‘vernacular’

lyrics for Nikki to sing – not just your everyday

road-worthy vernacular lyrics. It was an interesting

session as i watched Nikki soak herself in the song.

We had to stop the recording at some point because

Nikki became quite emotional. That was a sight i

hadn’t seen in about 15years of my recording

career. I watched Nikki emote with such purity, i

knew we’d nailed the song. A few spices of known

songs here and there and the song was a wrap!

Finally the song song was released on my second

album – The Worship Sessions 2. If you haven’t

gotten yourself a copy, you don’t know what you’re

missing.

Nikki and Florocka aren’t done yet – keep your

fingers crossed!”

The Worship Sessions Volume 1 & 2 is available at
