Coming three months after the release of his two singles, Ojomiloju and Mogberi, US-based journalist and author, Deba Uwadiae on Thursday May 27, the Children’s Day, dropped a 7-track album titled, Hallelujah Amen.

According to the reporter turned-singer, “There is no other way to express gratitude to God at this period than singing ‘Hallelujah Amen’ for bringing the pandemic under control.”

Produced by Theo Odiifuo of OD4 Music, the album parades other tracks including One World One Nation, Streetlight Out, Kose, Osa, Ojomiloju and Mogberi.
