Lagos-based gospel artiste, Rita
Alakija, popularly called Aimee, has released a new album and a
video. The new album, titled Increasing Grace, is like the climax of
a soul journey for the singer who usually stylishly weaves the story
of her life into her unending celebration of God.
Aimee describes as the climax of the
inspiring story that she told in her first two albums – ‘Lost
without You’ and ‘So Great’ while the new video, ‘Beautiful’,
is from Increasing Grace, which has eight tracks.
In the album, Aimee, who is also a life
coach and motivational speaker, showers praise on God and offers
great verses that are bound to inspire listeners to higher grounds.
The tracks are Heavenly Father, How Great, There is Healing, Amazing
Love, Here You are Maranatha and I’m Safe, in which she featured
Adaeze Adeoluwa.
Formerly a banker, Aimee’s asset is a
powerful voice that gives justice to her message. The ease with which
she delivers in all the tracks shows that music is natural with her.
No wonder, she says she composes various types of songs but
missionary art is her calling, hence, she focuses on gospel music.
She explains in an interview, , “Grace
is about God’s unlimited favour. So, the album is inspired and
rendered to be a blessing to the listener. It is saying that you can
aspire more, you can inspire more and you can achieve more. A lot of
the songs were birthed through fire. But I am just giving God praise
because I have the cause to. There was a time I thought nothing
beautiful could thrive around me again. Things were not working out
in many areas. But God said I could make it and here I am against all
odds. God removed my ugliness and make me whole again. Or, when you
look at me, what do you see? A strong, beautiful woman.”
