“The Midnight crew will embark on a US tour as part of our celebration of having been together for twenty years- right from our undergraduate days at Yaba College of Technology (Yabatech). We shall be unfolding many activities from the last quarter of the year. Indeed God has kept us together, we went solo to explore our individual talents and now we are back to continue to sing about His manifold grace. Watch this space,” she added.
