Singer, songwriter and Gospel recording artiste, Olubanke, re-emerges from a long musical hiatus with the release of her eagerly anticipated single titled “Adun“ which means “Sweetness” in her Nigerian dialect (Yoruba).

Beautifully delivered in Yoruba and English, the soul-lifting ballad features a superbly simplistic chorus that is sure to resonate in the hearts of every listener.

In her words: “Adun ni Jesu is a beautiful song about the sweetness of Jesus Christ our saviour. This song was born out of my relationship and experience with Him. He has been all things to me, He is the best experience I have ever had and this is my testimony.”

With production credit to ace producer, Qssence, “Adun” is guaranteed to bless and edify.
