Gospel musician Obiora Obiwon has released a one-of-a-kind video for his latest single, Conqueror. The visuals for this upbeat soft rock infused song that soothes listeners tells a graphic story. The Christian life is by no means a walk in the park and the lyrics remind us that God does not, nor has ever expected us to attempt it alone.
Obiwon’s inspiration for the song
was through a dream as he battled for his life on a hospital bed. The musician had experienced a ruptured
appendix and the song became a sign of his victory in the situation. “I fully
recovered, went home and wrote this song over a period of time to capture the essence
of my faith and the experience.” Conqueror is an interestingly pleasant infusion
of Pop, Soul, Afro and HipHop.
The artist’s creativity can be
seen in the flow of the lyrics, visuals and the creation of the costume itself
as shared on his IG page. He is coming into his own and is now willing to take
more risks to achieve this. Musically I’m coming from a place where I struggled
with my creativity versus conformity in order to be accepted in certain circles.
Creativity won and I’m freely expressing
the music I’ve been given as it comes, no holds barred. I’m glad to stand in
that unique space that fully represents who I am – a sum of my influences, experiences
and journey.
We look forward to savouring more
good music from Obiwon in the days ahead.
Lyrics
Conqueror
Onyenme
You conquered death
Tore down gates of hell
Crushed chains and thrones you
rescued me
You won for love you conquered
me with love
I can live by the spirit of
life in me
Spirit of life inside of me
Spirit that raised you from
the dead
Quickening my mortal body
Conqueror
You won for me new life
Conqueror
In me your death has died
To live I live your victory by
the power of life in me
More than conquerors
Victorious
Inside your love
Onyenme
Conqueror
Onyenme
Your scars and stripes
Obtained the sacrifice
Laid down your life
The inspiration to the new
