UK-based afro-gospel artist Limoblaze retraces his steps from Lagos to London promoting purpose and free expression on his anticipated second album, Young & Chosen out now, ahead of his headline show in London on Saturday 14th September. Alongside the album, Limoblaze has unveiled a new music video for its lead track, ‘No Greater Love’, including the mellow Southern vocals of Kentucky singer-songwriter Joe L Barnes. The upbeat soulful track pays homage to Limoblaze’s Nigerian roots, over traditional African rhythms. He said, “This song is such an important one. It pretty much tells stories about my journeys, both as an artist and as a Christian. It just had to open up the project.”
The album offers a soundtrack for new generations of faith-abiding young people living for a greater purpose, exploring a range of emotions and experiences, and providing an outlet to pursue their dreams within their own vision. The ensuing tracklist assembles a dynamic collective of like-minded artists driving the gospel and afrobeat genres forward.
Limoblaze has been successfully building an international fanbase through his uncanny ability to marry afrobeat music with hypnotising melodies, all while promoting his passion for God and active life in ministry. He said, “My new album explores the intricate relationship between faith and youth, capturing the essence of every mood with a unique and sonically diverse sound. Each track is a reflection of personal experiences and lessons gathered along my journey.“
“It takes you between my roots in Lagos, as well as my new London home, where I’ve furthered my faith and discovered who I truly want to be. Each track is a reflection of that growth, offering something for everyone – young and old, black, brown, and white. My hope is that as you listen, you’ll feel reassured that you are young, chosen, and uniquely valuable.”
Young & Chosen follows singles including July hit ‘Holy Father’, which was accompanied by a heartfelt music video ( with over 100K YouTube views) set in Limoblaze’s hometown of Lagos. Other tracks include viral sensation ‘Good God II’ (feat. Naomi Raine), as well as his collaboration with The Voice UK’s 2020 winner Annatoria on ‘Put It On God’.
Limoblaze has amassed a following of over 500,000 on social media, with previous singles collectively generating 600K+ uses on TikTok and propelling him into three Billboard charts, including the US Afrobeat Chart and others. He was also awarded ‘Best Gospel Act’ at the 2024 MOBO Awards.
Young & Chosen is being released by Atlanta-based record label Reach Records, which has been integral to Limoblaze’s rise to prominence since signing in 2021. Other Reach Records artists include GRAMMY-winning Lecrae, as well as chart-topping and RIAA certified platinum artists, Andy Mineo, Hulvey, Tedashii, Trip Lee, 1K Phew, Wande and WHATUPRG.
