Mike Abdul brings a joyful Afro-gospel groove on “Korede,” one of the best-loved songs of his career.
“Korede” is the title track of Mike Abdul's album Korede, released in 2016. Since then, fans have embraced it as an anthem, and it is still the song many people think of first when his name comes up.
Mike Abdul has spoken about how the song came to him, describing it as a song that came divinely, a gift he did not take credit for. That sense of grace runs through the music: it is upbeat and danceable, but its focus stays on what God brings into our lives.
In Yoruba, “Korede” speaks of goodness being brought in, and it is a fitting word for a song of thanksgiving. James 1:17 says that every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights. Psalm 23:6 adds, “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.” When God visits a life, He brings goodness with Him.
Mike Abdul is a Nigerian Afro-gospel artist whose songs also include “Fun Mi Se,” featuring Oluwashalom, and his music blends African rhythms with a clear gospel message.
At 3 minutes 42 seconds, “Korede” is perfect for your morning playlist, thanksgiving services, birthdays, weddings and any day you want to celebrate the goodness of God.
A prayer for today: Father, thank You for every good gift You have brought into my life. Let Your goodness and mercy follow me today and always. Amen.
