What’s up, fellas!!

So for this week, I really challenged myself. Thinking of what the judges could possibly prefer made me want to do something unusual. After much thinking, I decided to record a song sung by a choir.

Men, it was tricky recording different voices and then putting them all together; it was not easy. But I’m happy I did it all myself; at least I am proud of that. I never thought I could be capable of becoming a whole producer, but I guess Vibes would do that to you😅

For this week, I chose the spirit-moving, uplifting song, Wade in the Water. The version was sung by the Spirituals Choir. They did proper justice to the song, and I could only try my best to come close to their perfection.

Well, kindly give it a listen and judge for yourself.

Here are the lyrics if you want to sing along🤗🤗🤗

Wade in the water
We dey wade in the water
Children wade in the water
God said he's gonna trouble the water
Wade in the water
We dey wade in the water
Children wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water

We are the sons and the daughters
We gotta stand up and make it loud
Just like our God told the Pharaoh,
"Let my people go, go."
We are a new generation
From the ones who have come before
He's calling us into freedom
Let my people go, go

We are the sons and the daughters
We gotta stand up and make it loud
Just like our God told the Pharaoh
"Let my people go, go"
We are a new generation
From the ones who have come before
He's calling us into freedom
Let my people go, go

We no go shy, no go shame
Ibi your papa God wey 'e make the heavens
If you know sey you no want trouble
Let my people go, go
With blood, sweat and tears
That we've gathered through the years
If you know sey you no want trouble
Let my people go, go

Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh
Oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh
Oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh
Oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh
Oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh

Wade in the water
We dey wade in the water
Children wade in the water
God's said he's gonna trouble the water
Wade in the water
We dey wade in the water
Children wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water

Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh
Oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh
Oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh
Oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh
Oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh, oh
