“I decided on the album after taking a deep reflection on how I can impact the larger society asides from what I do at the FunmiAyinke Humanity Foundation (FHF). Then the inspiration to sing hit me. It was at the time that I decided to write the songs before hitting the studios to pour out my soul on the songs. The album is a mix of inspirational and soulful soft music that was well produced and mastered to delight my listeners,” she said.
On her choice of features on the album, Funmi Ayinke said, “I grew up listening to Chief Ebenezer Obey whose career has lasted multiple decades. It was a dream come through having him on a record that I intend to use to inspire a wider audience.

The Journey album features well-written and powerful compositions that are strong sources of motivation and inspiration to listeners, provide the needed zest to those in moments of darkness and hope for the down cast.
