Over the years, he has grown in the art of singing and
worship leading, doing it with a visible sincerity and an unmistakable
presence. With influences from gospel greats like Nathaniel Bassey,Sinach,Kim
Walker-Smith and Hillsong, he has been able to create a sound that is unique
and vibrant, resounding easily and running deep in the heart of the listener. Predominantly
focused on the Soft rock, genre, He stands out in his songs with simplicity and
ease of flow. Ayokunle who has been writing songs for the past 3-4 years,
believes that worship goes beyond the songs we sing or the actions we take, it
is all about a heart that is reaching for and connected to God, this connection
being expressed in various ways including music.
He says
‘Worship is a matter of the heart
first, to me it’s a real connection between God and man, there may be varying
means to establishing that connection, hence music comes in as a tool, but it
is not worship in itself, music is just one of the various vehicles to worship.
I believe if you sing all the songs in the world and dance till your back aches
and it’s not founded upon a heart connection, you’re just making noise.
This connection is what he offers in his latest single ‘Unchangeable God’. ‘Unchangeable God’ is his second recorded single, the first single
being the ‘Ephesian song’ released early last year. ‘Unchangeable God’ is a firm declaration of trust and dependence in
the nature and consistency of our God. It focuses on the undeniable attributes
of God upon which an unwavering faith can be built.
Speaking on the inspiration behind song he said,
‘I have this conviction that God
is not the ‘Great I was’ neither is he the ‘Great I am going to be’ but in
every dispensation, He remains the Great I AM.I started to look at the great
miracles and breakthroughs of old and I became persuaded that God is still the
same GREAT and POWERFUL God He has always been, hence the song ‘Unchangeable
God’.
Produced by ace producer QaseBeatz, ‘Unchangeable God’ is a rock song with a very likeable feel that
simply deepens the worshipper’s experience. From the intro-verse to the chorus
and the vamp, it is laced with so many precious moments that just makes you
want to lift your hands and glorify God. With just one listen, you’re sure to
recognise the resounding melody for its ‘sing-along-ability’, the hook in the
vamp that just keeps it playing in your head, long after the song is over(
trust me you can’t resist the urge to keep it on replay). The song features
really smooth vocals, vibrant instrumentation and some indigenous lines which
make it all the more closer to heart.
Speaking on the song, he says,
My desire is that people become
more conscious of who God is, I do not want ‘Hand-Me-Down’ experiences of God,
but personal ones, for those who are weary in believing, they’d be strengthened.
To sum it up, I desire a real connection between the hearer and God and not a
connection with my voice'
And that experience and connection is lavishly offered on ‘Unchangeable God’, which is a great
listen for anyone desirous of a refreshing worship time.
Ayokunle who is also the convener of the annual worship
concert Serenade, which focuses on gathering
young people with a burning desire for God, for a time of extreme worship with
reckless abandon, believes we are in a new season where God is raising up men and
women for his glory, and is glad to be part of it,
I believe God is raising generals
and worship leaders that will ascribe the focus of worship to Him and away from
human accolades and celebration, because he is the reason were doing this. I
yearn for a time where not just worship leaders but everyone will be connected
to God whether there’s a leader or not.
So waste no time,
relieve this experience and be part of that move with the song Unchangeable God.Do let us know what you
love most about the song, and your experience while listening to it, we would
be delighted to hear your views.
