Afro gospel rock star Florocka teams up with soulful singer Nikki Laoye on this effusive remake of Mo Wa Dupe; an old Christian Yoruba song.
The song which took then almost 7 years to complete is produced by Florocka and is part of an upcoming collaboration EP by Flo and Nikki.
The song is an eclectic expression of gratitude, immersed in the phenomenal music production, breathtaking vocal delivery and signature harmonies the two artists are renowned for.
“The Lover of Our Souls has been so good to us. We have nothing but a song and hearts full of Thanksgiving in this season of Love, to the One who first loved us.
