Gospel artist Laolu Gbenjo has dropped his two cent on why he believes on genre of music is important.
He revealed in an interview with Channels Television on ‘The Morning Brief’ that a world with only gospel music would lack excitement, highlighting the need for different types of songs to match various occasions.
Gbenjo explained that diverse music genres see to different emotions and events, such as love songs for weddings and praise songs for celebrations; in a nutshell, it provides balance.
He said:
“We have to be sincere to ourselves, if everybody sings gospel, the world will be boring. That’s the truth. If anyone is getting married, you don’t expect me to sing gospel all through, there are love songs and celebration praise. It’s just a celebration”, he said.
He further revealed that he started his singing career, noting his father’s influence as a pastor.
“I started singing because my father was a pastor”, he said.
