Over the past one week, urban gospel act, Obiora
Obiwon , has actively taken to Social Media with the
promise to drop a single from his forthcoming album
on his birthday -June 9, 2015.
The new
single
unveiled
today,
entitled
“Floodgates (The New OveBb.rflow)”, marks the
beginning of a new season for Obiora Obiwon as he
clocks 38 years and officially begins to mark 10
years in the music industry. Earlier on today, the
artiste reflected, “They say it’s my 38th birthday
today, but it’s You My Lord I celebrate. Thank You
for giving me You. Thank You for giving me the
abundant and eternal life, joy, peace and
fulfillment…”
Obiwon’s professional music career journey started
10 years ago in 2005 with the release of his first EP
(short form album) entitled “Get ‘Em Up”. The EP’s
lead single with the same title was remarkable for
pioneering the use of 3-Dimensional Animation in
Nigerian music videos. In recent times Obiwon has
been noted more for his unshaken resolve to impact
the Nigerian gospel music scene, Nigerian youths
and the entire society using the medium of his faith-
based music. His transition from the secular Pop/
R’n’B genre in 2008 was initially received with
mixed reactions but has slowly gained acceptance
in recent times, with Obiwon being featured in both
faith-based and secular events. Between 2014 and
early 2015 alone, Obiwon clinched 7 gospel music
industry awards for the stellar work on his 2013
album, Gold Water.
The release of new single “Floodgates (The New
Overflow)” today gives a foretaste of the 10th
anniversary projects, which will include an
anniversary album aptly entitled “Floodgates: The
Beginning Of The New Overflow”. On the full album
scheduled for a November release, Obiwon further
mines his musical romance with long-time
production collaborator Phat-E, credited for past
Obiwon hits including “Hail My King”, “Obi Mu O”
and the bulk of work on his last two albums. On the
new single, Obiwon and Phat-E experiment with a
mix of both conventional and unconventional
sounds, as well as lyrics rife with symbolism.
The months ahead will see the artiste announcing
the entire project plan for the commemoration of the
anniversary, themed “Soli Deo Gloria” as an
Anniversary Logo.
