The 4:00 pm event will see the artiste perform all 12 songs on the album namely Have Your Way, Jesus, My Friend, Bigger, Your Excellency, Everything, Conversation, Declaration and My Heart.
The others are Kronkron and The Call which are both in Twi and Hallelujah which is in Twi, Ga and Ewe languages.
My Heart is a fast –paced song that is rendered mostly in Pidgin English and a few words in Twi. It talks about how the singer’s heart is filled with praise to God. Jesus is a mid-tempo gospel pop song featuring Kingzkid and talks about the name of Jesus being higher than any other name.
Bigger is a remake of a popular Nigerian song that Kobby adds his own verse to. It talks about God being ‘bigger’ than what people say. Kronkron explores the holiness of God. In all, the songs expound the relevance of praise and worship to a Christian life.
He told Showbiz the title of the album is a reflection of his past life and how God revealed to him that he would save him from the destruction of alcohol and drug addiction.
“My album is called Revealed because God told me that through my voice, he will reveal himself anywhere I stand to sing, and his glory will be seen. He has been faithful to his word,” the musician who has spent most of his life in South Africa said.
Kobby thinks the central message of gospel music is missing in most Ghanaian gospel songs today.
“We are losing the Jesus factor in most of our songs because what we call gospel music doesn’t command the needed influence to change lives as expected,” he said.
Apart from Kobby, Niiella, Akesse Brempong,Cwesi Oteng and Kingzkid among many others will delight the many patrons who will at the launch.
