  • Opelope Jesu drops new album, My Turn

    Gospel crooner, Prince John Adegoke has released his fourth studio album titled My Turn. According to Opelope Jesu, as the artiste is better known, the new album was inspired by God as he sees every sermon preached in church as an avenue to compose songs.

    “I take my songs from the scriptures, but I try to interpret them in line with our day-to-day activities so that it won’t look like I am telling a story. But I must blend it to what we are doing in the present day. The second reason for the album is to celebrate Nigeria. One of the tracks I have on it is titled Peace in Nigeria, in recognition of the trauma and the hardship the people, and the nation go through daily”.

    Describing his foray into music, the artiste said that it was totally unplanned. He revealed that his father, a former military personnel taught him to play some musical instruments at the age of six.

    “If anyone had told me while growing up that I would pursue music as a career, I would have told the person to stay away from me because I never had any passion for it. It was something I saw my father do every day, so it was not something I anticipated that I would ever do, but as fate would have it I found myself here,” he concludes.

    The Business Management graduate of the University of Lagos revealed that the seven track album has songs like; Oriki Olorun, Come and See, Peace for Nigeria among others.
