A profound song of gratitude and reflection, “I Remember” is one of the gems on Nathaniel Bassey’s 14-track album, Hallelujah Again (Revelation 19:3), which was released on April 1, 2021. As a highly influential Nigerian gospel artist, Bassey has cemented his legacy not only through his music but also through his ministry as a pastor and the convener of the globally recognized online prayer and worship movement, the #HallelujahChallenge. His musical style is a distinct fusion of gospel, jazz, and contemporary worship, all enriched by his signature trumpet playing. The album, which he released under his own Nathaniel Bassey Music label, represents a significant contribution to the global gospel scene and showcases his growth as both a musician and a spiritual leader.
“I Remember” stands out for its contemplative nature and simple yet powerful lyrical content, placing it firmly in the Gospel and Christian Worship genres. The song’s purpose is to call listeners to a state of mindfulness, encouraging them to look back and recount God’s past kindnesses, which builds faith for the future. The album as a whole is a powerhouse of collaborations, with a diverse tracklist that includes the chart-topping “Olorun Agbaye – You Are Mighty” with Chandler Moore, “Yahweh Yahweh” featuring Sinach, and “So Good” with Ada Ehi. The inclusion of these renowned artists highlights Bassey’s role as a unifying force within the gospel community, making the album a collective offering of praise and adoration.
