Brother Olaleye is a Nigerian evangelist, pictured on the sleeve in an eye-catching white suit, who sings nine songs here, four in English, produced and arranged by Rev Apostle Daniels. At first this album features the rhythms of jaunty reggae, but soon the sounds deteriorate. For instance, there is an archaic sounding hymn, "Victory", sung with more enthusiasm than skill by an unidentified sister. I liked the Afro groove of "Bada Ni N'omasin" (Lord, I Worship Thee) but cheap programming marr many of the tracks. All in all an album with limited appeal.
