After a strategic pause since the track Loju with Wizkid in June 2023, the renowned disk jockey and record producer, SPINALL makes his return to the center stage with a brand new single, Psalm 23. The track boasts the electrifying vocals of the super talented Teni, creating a powerful collaboration that’s guaranteed to resonate with listeners.
The title itself is a bold statement, drawing inspiration from the iconic biblical chapter of the same name. Specifically, SPINALL and Teni reference verses 4 and 5, which speak of facing challenges with faith and the presence of divine protection. These verses paint a vivid picture of overcoming adversity: “Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.”
With this scripture as their foundation, SPINALL and Teni craft a lyrical piece that celebrates resilience and confidence. Lines like “My enemies dey wait me for door, all of una together no fit koba me, Psalm 23 cover me” perfectly encapsulate the core message. Here, they declare their beliefs in their own abilities and the presence of a higher power shielding them from negativity and malicious intent. They’re unfazed by the presence of haters or those who wish them ill, knowing they are protected and destined for success.
Beyond the powerful message, Psalm 23 shines with brilliant production courtesy of SPINALL himself. The amapiano sound blended with his signature style provides the perfect backdrop for Teni’s captivating vocals to shine. The rhythm pulsates with an infectious energy, while the melody lingers long after the last note fades.
SPINALL’s return could not have been more impactful. Psalm 23 is an anthem for anyone who has ever faced adversity. It’s a powerful reminder that with faith and resilience, one can overcome any obstacle and emerge victorious. The synergy between SPINALL and Teni is undeniable, creating an empowering and catchy record.
