Episode Synopsis
Toluwanimee on 'Ayo' (Joy), African Music & Singing Scripture | Gospel Zone with Howie Mackie
In this exclusive interview on Gospel Zone with Howie Mackie , singer and worship leader Toluwanimee returns to the show to discuss her latest track, 'Ayo' (which means "joy" in Yoruba).
Toluwanimee shares the deep inspiration behind the song, revealing that 'Ayo' is a gratitude song inspired by the scripture, "Weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning" (Psalm 30:5).
In this interview, you'll hear about:
* The concept of true joy as "a fruit of the spirit" and "an intentional decision".
* How she believes her songs are a "declaration" and are intentionally "word based," focusing on "singing the word".
* The blend of sounds in 'Ayo'—a song with a typical African sound (percussions and drums) but primarily sung in English.
* How the song calls out different names of God, including Jesu and ABBA (Father).
* Personal testimonies, including how the song has brought peace and clarity to listeners.
'Ayo' is the beginning of her fourth studio album.
