Birthed during the period the world was ravaged by the global
pandemic. Nations of the world went into lockdown with panic and
uncertainty all over the land, the Lord gave Sam Opeche a sound for the
people in ‘Praise the Lord’. A sound that mandates the people to praise
God in good and bad times with an unwavering faith of a change.
Sam
firmly believes that God has given him this song to remind the body of
Christ of God’s undying love. Indeed, the loving kindness of God never
leaves us no matter the circumstances of our lives. He has promised and
He will never fail, and all we need do is resound with satisfied joy:
Praise The Lord
Sam’s last single, ‘Yes Lord Yes,’ was
ranked 5 stars by fans on Facebook Music and ranked number 58 on the
YouTube Top 100 Nigerian songs Chart.
A multiple award winner, Sam
has successfully toured the UK and Europe. During his tours, he had the
privilege of performing alongside gospel heavyweights such as Nataniel
Bassey, Sonnie Badu, Muyiwa Olanrewaju, Gabriel Eziashi, Faith Child and
a host of others at a number of megachurches in the UK; several sold
out concerts in Germany and at the Connection Convention in Wroclaw,
Poland. Sam has also performed at the renowned London Festival of Life
events at The Excel.
Working with the widely respected
producer Gozi Okogwu (a.k.a. Goz) and his crew, they created a song that
many observers have tagged ‘exceptional’. When asked what he thought
about the song, Goz simply said ‘magical’. That, coming from a legendary
producer and a well-sought-after musical architect in the UK Gospel
industry is an indication that something spectacular is indeed about to
launch.
Sam’s song ‘Praise The Lord’ topped the UK Christian
Gospel Chart in March under the Contemporary Gospel category with an
overwhelmingvote from both fans and professional judges.
Sam’s
vocal texture is an undeniable signature that makes him stand out. He
has been compared to Seal by many of his fans, and some even say he
sounds like gospel greats, Ron Kenoly and Donnie McKlurkin. Yet, Sam’s
tuneful sound is strikingly unique.
Sam is so grateful to his many
fans and the way they have endeared him to their hearts. His primary
goal is to serve the body of Christ and all people with his musicality
to the praise and glory of God.
Falling in love with Jesus after
an extraordinary encounter on his way to sing at a nightclub, Sam wants
everyone to know of the sweet and tender mercy of our God towards all
people. That’s why he retorts to God in the song ‘Your loving kindness,
your tender mercies will never leave, so let everything within me praise
His name.’
