Midnight Crew’ lead singer, Patricia Uwaje-King dropped her first solo album today, June 3. Entitled He’s Done Me Well,
the album is the vocal powerhouse’s latest offering produced by
experience hands such as Wole Oni, Willz, El Jamin, Mr Daz, JTreash,
Sammy Young and Joe Pee.
The album which took a ten-month preparation has great tracks like All Power, Eze, Winner, Hear My Call, Iyu Kayin Nene, Lift Up your Name and a traditional gospel classic, ‘Hossana’ featuring Odunayo Ojo-Onasanya (Midnight Crew).
Other soul-lifting tracks that make up the fifteen tracks include I
Stand, You I Know Ft Doris Dumah, Miracle, Papa, Get Ready and the
Mbene, a bonus track from the Midnight Crew, King Of Nations album.
Speaking on the album, Pat Uwaje-King said; “Yes, this is my first
solo album and it is now on major gospel music stores and distributors
nationwide. I have great expectations from the album due to the virtue
that has gone into its production phase – both spiritual and human. ”
Would her latest solo effort strain her relationship with Midnight
Crew? She answered, “There is just too much enveloped in each member and
it will be an anomaly to just seat on it and not let all these gifts
find expressions.”
Pat Uwaje-King added, “I, for instance, have been involved in
breeding new talents, coordinating events and as you know, will be
releasing my solo album in a few days. Mike Abdul has also released an
album under his own label which houses two other artistes who are
already breaking major grounds.
“G-Minor has been deeply involved in the coordination of the Zera
mass choir and all of us have had to depend on Odunayo Ojo-Onasanya for
our projects, as far as quality and wisdom is concerned. We are still
very much involved in the group and I am sure you have seen our recent
video for the song ‘Mo Dibo’. We are just leveraging on the platform we
already have for individual expression.”
Pat Uwaje-King who has been on the album project for about 10 months
emphasized on the massive support she has received from every member of
the Midnight crew whose voices is heard on the track “Mbene”.
The album cuts across various genres including African Praise Medley,
Pop, Soul, Reggae, amongst others and while it includes some of her
released singles such as “Eze”, “All Power” and “He’s Done Me Well”,
such tracks as “Iyu Kayin Nene”, “Winner”, “Hear my Call”, “Hosanna” and
more, will also make phenomenal impact when the work is released.
“I am very excited about this album!” She blurted. “It will be very
hard to skip any track (laughs). I believe it will not only bless Africa
but will also define the future of Gospel music.”
