No doubt about it. Sing Aloud is a master piece from Pastor Jane Pela .she sing with everything inside of her. I always enjoy listening to the Album, for her originality and passion for heavenly worship. I can’t wait for the next one.

Yes uniqueness has got to do with what's in an artists' songs rather than who that artist is. However, the relationship an artist has with God will surely reflect in their songs i believe. I tend to view Pastor Jane as a "God's heart bit" minister in her style. God said he will put a new song on our lips; this is what i see in this album. It takes a nigerian to understand this i presume; with the influx of gospel albums from Lots of artists from the American region, it has been almost impossible to be creative and attentive to the Holy Spirit teaching a new song; especially for gospel artists in this region. You often hear a remix of the same regular church worship songs by virtually almost 3 different artist; and the irony of it all is that they all enter the gospel market and you can almost say to yourself "Not again" ! Honest truth, this is different. New songs to learn, a unique praise worship style that is sure new to Nigerian congregations. I know that Jane Pela is just different with a style. "Be wise" has inspired me greatly and words from it give me a daily boost to face all odds of what the society presents before me, i must admit. I enjoyed "In Him" too and recommend to anyone who lacks confidence in doing things.
"Sing aloud" album is more than a song to me, it's a ministration.
I look forward to Jane's newest album with so much enthuz!

I completely agree with Wunmi. Pastor Jane Pela isn't just one of the "praise singers" in the market today; she is an anointed worshipper. I can almost touch the anointing in her songs! "BE WISE" is also my best track; it helps me keep things in perspective. I get a live worship experience as i listen to the whole album over and over again. Can't wait to listen to her new album.

Jane Pela is a spectacular music minister, she ministers with so much zeal and vigour. she loves God so much and has decided to always sing new songs to the Lord, thus she's a unique song writer.
Above all she is the Associate Pastor of the House of Grace, a wife and a mother.
At the beginning of this year she began work on another live praise & worship recording, which will soon hit the market. she has written over 500 songs and is still writing.

Actually, I listened to it half a dozen times before writing a single word. I don't know what you usually expect from Nigerian gospel artists; I've enjoyed many of the others I've heard (Fountain of Praise, Olufunmi, Folake Umosen, Agboola, Muyiwa, Vitus and loads of others whose names I can't remember). They all sounded unique to me. This didn't.

If you listened particularly, you'l note that there's a lot of difference in the words song in this Album. It truely can not be generalised; Be Wise is my best track. This is different from what we usually expect from Nigerian Gospel artist. It's creative, inspirational and i'm glad someone's listening for new songs in the spirit.

Sorry, we'll just have to differ over what makes a songwriter "unique". In my book, it's what they say in their songs; not their family life, or the fact that they minister with zeal and vigour (which worship leader doesn't?). All I have to go on is what I hear on the CD - and I've heard over 100 worship songs which rhyme "praise" with "days". So I stand by what I said in my review.

Pastor Jane is undoubtedly an anointed minister of the gospel. She is a true worshipper,full of God and carrries around her a unique atmosphere of worship and praise. A blessing she truly is to our world and how privileged we are to have her in this generation.
