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.
The single marks the next chapter in Blessing 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.
I enjoyed the ease and space I had with my producer to really keep things simple and natural.
Remain authentic to yourself; it will help you stay consistent especially in times when you really don’t have the energy or time to play pretend or put on a mask and those days come more often than you’d think.
Truly, I think it’ll have to be John Mayer.
I would say the authenticity and relativity to who I am as an artist. Right from the door, you’ll instantly know that this artist is telling her own story to the world.
It would have to be Eze Abata by Chinyere Udoma because it relates to what I am currently going through in life and gives me respite.
