Emerging Gospel singer, Joey Adono has released a brand new praise anthem titled “Understand My Praise”.
“Understand My Praise” is better described as a gratitude anthem. A song inspired by the Biblical account of King David rejoicing as the Ark of Covenant returned to Israel.
Joey Adono (Joseph Adono Okooboh) is a singer songwriter whose passion for music and composition is deeply rooted in love for God and love for people. Joey as he’s fondly called, hails from Edo state, Nigeria. He’s the first of four children and most of his growing years were in Ibadan. He is a graduate of Geography from Obafemi Awolowo University Ile-ife, Osun State.
His latest single “Understand My Praise” captures the gratitude mode of the king despite the ridicule by Saul’s Daughter who was the King David’s wife. An uptempo gospel pop with heavy African rhythm written in the Nigerian Colloquial language. It is a very groovy sing along song.
“Understand My Praise” was written by Joey Adono Okooboh and produced by Eskeez.
Joey has an EP and four singles to his credit. He has shared his craft on various platforms ranging from Government functions, Concerts and Churches amongst others. Joey desires that his music communicates hope, excitement and faith to everyone who listens to it regardless of their age and social standing.
