Imisoluwa, Launches New Album, Says “Imisioluwa on a mission to rule the world”

Sunday Oyerinde is one of the superb voices in modern Gospel Juju music. Known on stage as Imisioluwa, the Osun State born music guru says in this interview with the Editor, FEMI DAVID, he wishes to rule the world with his Gospel Juju brand.

My Hope on The New Album

“I have confidence that this album will promote the much desired transformation in my music career. I just launched this album and it is already an anthem. That means it is my time to shine.”

My Brand of Music

“I sing complete Juju full of prayer songs. Juju music this time is difficult to classify. Even our fathers in the genre, Chief Ebenezer Obey and King Sunny Ade, their music from the onset was full of prayer and messages. I’m following their path. Whether it is Afro Juju, Juju Gospel or Tungba Gospel, we are all singing Juju music because Juju music has its root in the church.”

What Inspires Me on Stage

“I can’t really explain in details how I am inspired but once I grasp the microphone, the songs will keep rolling. I don’t take alcohol, just water. People need to understand that when you are gifted and have passion for what you are doing, you are naturally inspired. You don’t need to drink wine or spirit to get high. Basically, I’m inspired by my environment.  For instance, when the pastor calls for prayer during church service and others are praying, I would be doing my own prayer in song. That is how I am inspired. So, ultimately it is God.”

I’m Not Walking Alone

“I’m just starting. I still have a long way to go. No man is an island. I’m not fulfilled yet. That is why I’m not alone. I have people who will never get tired of supporting me. Everyone needs a helper to get to his or her destiny. So, I’m growing because I have people behind me. I have a track in this new album where I sang ‘Ipa Rere.(there are people that made good impact in my carrer) That is why I will forever appreciate my able brother, (who is also a Musician) Ap. Pro. Dr. Ijimayowa Abayomi Abass.( Oba Eri-Ajidara) who, apart from God, is my source of joy in life. He is the source of everything that I am today. Of course, it is God but God would not descend to help a man, He will send a man. He is the man God sent to me.”
