NEXT Saturday, the Kingdom Connection Apostolic Centre at Den Amstel on the West Coast of Demerara will come alive when gospel singer, Enea Benjamin launches two singles from her new album.The songstress has been singing her way into the local gospel spectrum for years and the new hits, titled “Created to Worship” and “Just Sing”, will resonate through the church walls when they are officially launched.
Benjamin related this week that the event takes the form of a Christmas Concert, and the church’s Pastor Apostle Miggins has fully supported the venture.
She said that the songs are part of her second album which will be completed over the next few weeks. The two singles are significant, Benjamin related. She said the first, “Created to Worship”, comes directly from God and she quoted Psalms 150:6 as having direct relevance to the single.
“Just Sing”, on the other hand, is more relevant to life and the experiences she has overcome .She said the lyrics are more personal and will definitely hit home when persons tune into the song.
This is the songstress’ second album, the first entitled “No Limit”, was launched in 2012 and recorded through gospel singer Kester D. These days, Benjamin said persons continue to request copies of that album.
Benjamin works at the Child Care and Protection Agency (CHPA) but her daily duties there do not prevent her from practicing when she gets off of work. She said that she loves singing, something she has been doing since her childhood days and looking ahead, she plans to play a more active role in the gospel music industry as well as preaching at the church.
The Kitty, Georgetown resident said that while she believes singing should have its rewards , including financial gains, she has no bone to contend with where the absence of copyright laws are concerned. In fact, she believes that once her message reaches her audience, she will feel contented.
She explained that persons may not be in a position to pay for CD’s .However, it is important that the teachings of God reach them freely.
