Premium Praise Live” is Dr. Yohan’s debut album, which is a compilation of soul-lifting praise and worship songs that stir listeners to reflect on God’s goodness and greatness.
Reflecting on the album, Dr. Yohan shares, “If ‘premium’ refers to topmost quality, then when Psalms 150 says, ‘Let everything that has breath praise the Lord,’ I’m saying that when we do it, let’s do it premium!”
The album was recorded with a live audience in Abuja, Nigeria, and explores a variety of sub-genres, including Amapiano, Afrobeats, and Electronic Pop. Featuring collaborations with other gospel artists and the artistic prowess of the talented team at TAP, Dr. Yohan has curated an immersive praise and worship experience with this project.
One of the tracks on the album, titled Balogun, is a soul-stirring song that reverently acknowledges God as a mighty warlord, fighting and triumphing in battles for humans. Dr. Yohan also plans to launch a #BalogunChallenge on TikTok, inviting individuals to share their stories of divine intervention and victories in times of struggle, aligning perfectly with the song’s empowering message.
