Nigerian Gospel Music Sensation, Anne Chukwudumebi Okonji who goes by the stage name D’Annie is back on the radar with an inspirational and uplifting single titled ‘Free’.
‘Free’ is a spiritual gospel song that reminds the world of the beautiful exchange made on the cross of Calvary and all it entails. A self-awakening to the fact that our unrighteousness and past has been replaced with new life. It seeks to draw our attention away from the calamities, pain and depression we experience even as we fix our eyes on God’s word of truth. Remember ‘Who the Son sets free is free completely’.
‘Free’ makes it the 3rd single released by D’Annie. Her previously released singles (`Kelechi` and ‘Make A Change’), trended on several social media platforms.
