Tosin is a
British-Nigerian Gospel Singer/Songwriter who has been singing in church from a
very young age, first in her church choir in her country of birth Nigeria and
today in the UK where she now lives.
Thankful is
a song that recounts the good things God has done and encourages listeners to
be thankful for life, salvation, and for being counted worthy to be a child of
God.
Tosin got
the inspiration for Thankful came from a place of trying to find reasons for
being thankful on the morning of her birthday last December. Due to difficult
circumstances and the death of a dear one, Tosin initially felt at a loss for
what to thank God for. However, Tosin felt prompted to dig deep for reasons to
be thankful, and out came the lyrics of this song. Thankful's release on
December 3
coincides with Tosin's 2016 birthday which also is a milestone for her.
This mid
tempo r'n'b gospel track is sure to get you nodding and grooving while being
Thankful to God for little things we tend to take for granted.
Thankful is
a track following on Tosin's debut EP 'You're Precious' which features songs
that combine contemporary RnB sounds with deeply inspirational words aimed at
bringing comfort and healing to all those who are in need of it.
