With Kingdom Melodies: Volume 1, C.J. Brown offers a soul-stirring, 15-track celebration of faith, purpose, and divine connection. Seamlessly blending the infectious rhythms of Afrobeats with gospel messages rooted in scripture, this debut album marks a powerful and innovative entry into the Afrogospel space. More than just music, the project feels like a spiritual offering, crafted to uplift, teach, and inspire.
At the heart of the album lies its bold title track, “Call Him Up”—a vibrant anthem that pulses with Afrobeat energy while delivering a clear, faith-filled message: when you call on Jesus, He will answer. It’s a radiant reminder of divine proximity, carried by uplifting lyrics and an undeniable groove.
Another standout is “Pray,” an Afro-Swing gem that opens with the line, “Early, early in the morning when I wake up, pray… Let me give you all my praise.” It’s a rhythmic ode to daily devotion, wrapped in joyful instrumentation that invites listeners into a posture of gratitude.
On “Healer,” Brown shifts into a more intimate tone, singing, “Jesus, my Healer… you restore my soul.” It’s a deeply moving track that resonates with those seeking restoration and hope. Similarly, “My Father” is an emotional cry to God, with the poignant refrain, “In everyday I call my Father like no other,” emphasizing the comfort and constancy of God’s presence.
