Blessing Tangban – God Of: African Nova Scotian Music Association’s 2025 Songwriter of the Year Blessing Tangban returns with “God Of…” – a cinematic, soul-stirring worship song that explores the beauty, vastness, and intimacy of God’s presence in every moment. Written on a mountaintop in Nigeria, the track captures the awe of encountering a God who is both infinite and near – the God of the mountain, the valley, the healed, the broken.
“This song is my reminder that God is present in every part of my story – from the mountaintop moments to the quiet, broken places,” says Tangban. “‘God Of…’ is a declaration of awe – for a God who’s not limited by our highs or lows, but is deeply involved in every detail.”
Recorded in collaboration with her producer in an intimate studio session, “God Of…” mirrors the simplicity and majesty of the mountain setting that inspired it. “We decided the song should be as bare and vast as the amount of space you’re exposed to on the peak of a mountain,” she explains. “It was just both of us in the studio – simple, easy, honest – and he captured my intention so well. I performed the song in one take and the rest is history.”
The track’s title is intentionally unfinished – “God Of…” – an open-ended phrase that reflects the endlessness of who God is. Its orchestral-inspired arrangement and minimal instrumentation leave room for stillness, while Tangban’s warm, soul-inflected vocals invite listeners into quiet reflection and reverence.
“I don’t always understand how God shows up – sometimes it’s gentle, sometimes wild – but it’s always love. That’s what this song captures,” she adds.
Blessing Tangban’s music bridges continents and cultures – blending the soul of Nigerian folk with the intimacy of singer-songwriter storytelling and the scale of cinematic worship. Her songs invite listeners to pause, reflect, and rediscover wonder in both faith and humanity.
“‘God Of…’ isn’t meant to explain God, it’s meant to acknowledge Him,” she says. “If it leads someone to pause – even for a moment – and feel both awe and comfort, then it’s done its job.”
The single marks the next chapter in Tangban’s forthcoming third studio EP, a project that continues her exploration of faith, identity, and belonging. Building on the success of her 2024 singles “Teach Me” and “Prayer,” the upcoming EP weaves together African soul, cinematic worship, and folk-inspired storytelling – a sound that feels both grounded and transcendent.
