This lady's has sung virtually every note, people  thought couldn't be sung, under the shade😃. She started out with I AM BLESSED, then she went ahead to release NANI GI(you can dance this one with your handkerchief😃), finally she GLORY is making wave  in Nigeria.

The song has a slow pace but sung with a heart-shattering powerful voice It also reeks of the dexterity with which Mercy Chinwo's Excess Love  was produced. The backup sing...
