EeZee Conceptz’s Labisi drops new song, ‘Yahweh’

Esther Olabisi, popularly known as Labisi, a gospel artiste under EeZee Conceptz and winner of the recently completed Gospel Groove Talent Quest 2023, has dropped a new single dubbed ‘Yahweh’. The single of the promising act dropped on September 29.

The Ibadan born gospel artiste is in a class of her own with her unique sound, style of music and delivery. She describes her sound as ‘culturalistic and local’ owing to her indigenous background.

While speaking during an interview, Labisi noted that she came into the limelight through the Gospel Groove Talent Quest organised by Eezee Concept, while also noting that the talent show’s academy brushed up her ingenious gospel music style. She also added that her style is a fusion of soulful-folklore and Fuji.

“Gospel Groove was a grooming land for me. The experience of the house would stay with me for life. The experience has built my career effortlessly”.

Labisi’s music style carefully emphasises atmosphere and texture over traditional musical structures, with slow, repetitive patterns and electronic instrumentation.

The lyrics of the song, ‘Yahweh’,  is deeply rooted in Christian theology, with underlying themes of help and salvation through God’s grace. With an elevated opening verse, Labisi sets the tone for the entire soulful worship. ‘Yahweh’ is a heartfelt acknowledgement of the saving power of God – “baba téwó gbà mí.”

According to a statement made available by the Eezee Concept, the video of the new single is already out while Labisi’s EP drops November 3.
