Album Title: Darling Jesus

This young man MIKE OKEKE, an interdenominational Christian, is very concerned about getting the gospel of Jesus to every soul all over the Globe. Music is a medium of communication which changes with the listener's interest. Therefore, if music has to be used for evangelism, its structure both rhythmic, melodic and harmonic must be shaped to appeal to the subjects to whom the message must reach.

No wonder why MIKE, in his previous album "GOD IS GRACIOUS" was very much interested in talking to the youth with that "NOW SOUND" language. However, now things are different. In this second album, different rhythmic and melodic structures are employed and the sole aim being to make sure that the word of GOD reaches everyone no matter what his/her taste in music is. If you don't understand it, wait a while and play it again, "the penny will drop".

"Sing"cerely,
GODDY OKU
