Acknowledging that fear is one of the biggest and insurmountable inhibitors in life, Remilekun, in her latest single, Don’t Be Afraid, liberated her following from anxiety and trepidation.
With choral harmonies which sweep with the orchestral crescendos, Don’t Be Afraid reaches the epitome of empowerment. The melodious waves of celestial grace deliver the quintessential strength and sanctity of gospel as Remilekun modernises worship music with the rock guitar riffs and the lush 80s pop aesthetic which spills from the keys.
Experiencing Don’t Be Afraid isn’t the first time that Remilekun has driven us to the brink of elated tears, and we don’t doubt it will be the last. Her presence, fortified by The Netherlands’ Dream Team and Sound of Gospel Choir, is something everyone should endeavour to experience.
After the live performance, filmed in the Netherlands, premiered on YouTube on September 20th, almost 40k listeners have seen the light through the assuring serenity of the illuminating release which takes the singer-songwriter and worship leader one step further to her deserved status as a globally renowned icon.
