Ogochukwu Oye, popularly known as Ogocity, is an urban artiste with a distinct style of praise and worship. The singer, who began her career in 2017 with songs like, I’ll be there and For you, told The Guardian that the two songs, which headlined her emergence on the scene, stressed the importance of love and being present for those “we care about.”

In her recent journey, she has transitioned from urban music to gospel, no thanks to the tragedy that befell her family.

Ogocity said the death of her sister gave her a purpose in life, and now she has decided to channel her “talent to win souls for the Kingdom of God through music.”

Ogocity’s new single as a gospel artiste, Citizen, is a song borne out of Philippians 3:20, which says: “But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus lives.”

She said the song is a reminder to believers of their true identity in Christ Jesus. “That our citizenship isn’t of this world alone; we have a place with our saviour in heaven. Our saviour came and died, was buried and resurrected, and now is seated in heavenly places. The good news is that, as Christians, we have a place in heaven too, so, we are citizens,” she said.

The song, Citizen, is laced with Pidgin English to “drive the point of our citizenship further to the understanding of our listeners.”

She believes that in a world where there are so many voices, it’s important to remind Christians of what Jesus did for everybody and “who we are in Christ.”

Hillsplay produced the song, and it features the Jesus hype man himself, Gerald Bishung.

Ogocity said: “The song will give listeners a reason to dance while showing off their citizenship, which is in Christ Jesus.”
