The gospel music world continues to move with power and purpose in 2026. From soul-lifting worship anthems in Nigeria to faith-driven releases reaching global audiences, this week delivers a rich blend of sounds rooted in praise, testimony, and spiritual reflection.

In this SoundPulseMedia Weekly Gospel New Music Roundup, we spotlight the most notable gospel releases between Monday and Friday (January 12–16) — highlighting artists shaping faith culture across Africa and the global gospel community.

Nigeria & Africa Lead the Week

Africa, particularly Nigeria, remains one of the most vibrant centers of contemporary gospel music. This week saw impactful releases from both established ministers and rising voices.

Nathaniel Bassey returned with a powerful collaboration, Glory To The Lamb, teaming up with Nessa Asuakoh for a worship-focused anthem centered on reverence and adoration. The song reinforces Bassey’s position as one of Africa’s most influential worship leaders.

Sunmisola Agbebi and Yinka Okeleye also delivered Amioluwa, a spiritually uplifting song that blends heartfelt vocals with deep lyrical conviction — resonating strongly with listeners seeking worship rooted in identity and faith.

Moses Bliss continued his consistent run with With My Name, while Minister Osaye’s This Year I No Go Fail struck a chord with listeners through its faith-filled declaration and relatable message of perseverance.

Meanwhile, Yadah remains a dominant presence in the Nigerian gospel scene, releasing new worship material this week alongside her recent album God, In All Seasons, which continues to gain strong traction across streaming platforms.
