The popularity of Gospel music on Nigeria’s music scene isn’t surprising.

Although Afrobeats is the mainstay of our soundscape, the country’s religious nature makes it possible for Gospel music to sink its tentacles deep into our collective subconscious. Gospel music continues to evolve through its instrumentation, as more dynamic sounds are unearthed while retaining its spiritual and uplifting essence. Social media and streaming platforms also make it easy to stay informed about the next best artists on the scene. This makes it easy for listeners to know about talented singers like Ultimate who is making her way to the front of the music queue to stand and be counted.

Ultimate is undoubtedly creating a niche for herself as one of Gospel music’s most promising newcomers. Her discography speaks of her consistency, and she is poised to take the next step in her career after taking the time to hone her skills over the years.

If you’re unfamiliar with Ultimate’s talent, “Mighty God” serves as a perfect opportunity to get to know her and her talent. This uplifting record showcases the best of her abilities, giving the listener a more in-depth look about the sultry singer.

The production of “Mighty God” is equally impressive. Producer Raystudio displayed why he is one of the most vibrant producers on the Gospel music scene.

Although the song’s foundation rests on its energetic drum-driven instrumental that is a common feature of this genre of music, it’s elevated by the inclusion of sharp electric guitar riffs that bring new layers of excitement and energy to the record.

Raystudio’s production creates a dynamic backdrop that perfectly complements the passionate vocals of Ultimate and her collaborator, Dave.
