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. Here are facts about GLORY by Imaobong. Most ladies would complain it too low and two high. Yes the song spans  nearly 3 octaves , and she sure hit a note above High B5  in that song.

Gather around guys. I am still being stunned at how good music keeps gravitating towards me. Port Harcourt city may have been  over-glamorised,  but the creativity found in  her dwellers are beginning to seem incomparable. I may not be an ardent listener of rap music,   but heck I know good music when I see one. Bones by Degoldberg is a Christian rap song that will spur your adrenaline to do something great and spontaneous  for God. Here is the thrilling part of the song. I really can't keep it to myself. It started off with that 'Rolling in the Deep' kind of feel to it, and then  the powerful voice of Degoldberg  melded with it. It is a testosterone and spirit filled rap song which beckons on  dry bones to rise again. It gets even more emotional as the classical feel of the song becomes even more prominent  close  to the end of the song.

The first time I listened to this song, I actually didn't know what to expect. Cece kings already looks beautiful and I wondered if her voice could sound beautiful as well. More importantly, I wondered if the producer did a good job. Then I press play and symphonies began to waft through. 'It is just starting' I said to myself. Then, I relaxed to savour the song. Then I was weak, then I felt goose pimples, then my eyes began to well up . I wasn't too sure if it was  the simple lyrics or her voice and the modulations she had to conquer as she sang into the soprano's stratosphere. It was magic. Cece Kings is really awesome and she is another big thing in  Nigeria gospel scene. Download her song and listen to it Download Beautuful by Cece Kings here
