MOBO Winner Limoblaze Drops ‘Holy Father’ and Announces Album Ahead of London Headline Show
Fast-rising artist Limoblaze is taking afro gospel to the world, releasing his new stormer ‘Holy Father’ on 19th July, and bringing his signature afrobeats sound to the genre. He also unveils details of his anticipated full album ‘Young & Chosen’, set for 23rd August.
‘Holy Father’ sees Limoblaze continue to balance his silvery lyrical flow and mesmerising melodies with ease. With a blend of vibrant rhythms alongside an uncanny ability to use conscious lyricism to create an atmosphere of faith and hope, fans can look forward to a song set for summer.
The music video for ‘Holy Father’ will also be released on 19th July. Dynamic shots will showcase the spirit of Limoblaze, from vibrant choirs to breaktaking aerial shots of his hometown Lagos, creating a homecoming energy that is palpable.
His 12-track album, ‘Young & Chosen’ offers a dynamic and vibrant outlet for young creatives of faith, enabling them to express themselves fully while staying true to their values. Limoblaze’s mission to inspire young people to embrace their unique journey shines through in his second full album, as it demonstrates that purpose can coexist with natural experiences and free expression.
The new album will also feature his March release ‘Good God II’, featuring Naomi Raine, which was an instant viral sensation, racking up 90K uses on TikTok. His 2022 release ‘Jireh, My Provider’ was also a social media hit, propelling it onto three Billboard charts, including the US Afrobeat Chart, Hot Christian Songs, and reaching #15 on the Gospel Song Chart. Fans should expect nothing less from this release.
Having emerged triumphant from the MOBO Awards earlier this year, taking home ‘Best Gospel Act’, and building on a stellar year in 2023 where he was recognised as one of Tidal’s rising artists to watch, Limo continues to cement his position as a ‘one to watch’ star. The artist now also prepares to share ‘Holy Father’ and ‘Young & Chosen’ with fans at his headline show at O2 Kentish Town on 14th September, as well as listening parties in Lagos, Abuja and Atlanta.
"I’m beyond excited for what’s coming up. My new album 'Young & Chosen' is very special to me. We’ve got amazing release parties in Lagos, Abuja, Atlanta and an afro gospel Showcase in London on 14th September that I'm really looking forward to as well. Music for me started in a live setting and I'm always anxious to get out there any time I get the opportunity. More importantly, I'm hopeful that everything we have planned will inspire and motivate young people to be passionate about bringing hope into the world." says Limoblaze.
‘Young & Chosen’ will be released by Atlanta-based record label Reach Records, which has been integral to Limoblaze’s rise to prominence since signing in 2021. Other Reach Records artists include GRAMMY-winning Lecrae, as well as chart-topping and RIAA certified platinum artists,
Andy Mineo, Hulvey, Tedashii, Trip Lee, 1K Phew, Wande and WHATUPRG.
Limoblaze’s headline show at 02 Kentish Town Forum is on Saturday 14th September.
