Announcing the album title as “Gold Water”, the passioned
singer explained that the admittedly strange title is one that he and listeners
would have to unravel over the course of time, as the album hits the stores in
November 2013. The 12-track opus features major and exciting collaborations
including the HipHop and African Rhythm merger on “F.a.t.h.e.r 2.0 Remix”
featuring HipHop artistes Madarocka, Tbos and Recky D. The remix is the B-Side
single to the stellar “Testify”, which continues to gain more grounds on all
platforms.

Obiwon marked a season of new beginnings and greater heights
earlier this year as he was honoured by the National Gospel Awards as Best
Crossover Artist, his first ever award in the genre. He has also graced the
cover of the latest edition of Vine Magazine, an entertainment and lifestyle magazine
for young positive minds. In his cover interview, Obiwon speaks about his
conversion and salvation experience, his humble musical beginnings dating back
almost two decades and the challenges of switching over from secular to gospel
music. In the midst of an active ministerial schedule, Obiwon also played guest
judge at the Owerri Auditions of Destiny Child Gospel Talent Hunt and had his
catalogue released this week on Spinlet, Africa’s premiere mobile music
platform.
