Gospel musician Laolu Gbenjo discusses the value of listening to a variety of genres of music.
Laolu Gbenjo underlined that a world with only gospel music would lack excitement in an interview with Channels Television’s “The Morning Brief,” emphasising the necessity for diverse kinds of songs to fit different events.
Gbenjo clarified that various musical styles correspond with distinct feelings and occasions, such as weddings and celebrations, with love songs and praise songs, respectively.
Even though he is passionate about gospel music, he realised that other genres also contribute to a diverse musical landscape.
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.
