Faith Child expands his sonic landscape in his latest single ‘Oluwa is Involved’, a dynamic collaboration with fast-rising Afrogospel talent Marizu. Bursting with rhythm, gratitude, and faith, the track arrives just in time to soundtrack the summer with its infectious energy and message.
Rooted in Faith Child’s Nigerian heritage, the title comes from the popular Yoruba phrase, ‘Oluwa is involved’, meaning “God had a hand in it.” The expression reflects the heart of the song, a public declaration that behind every success, talent, and opportunity is the hand of God.
“‘Oluwa’ means God,” Faith Child explains. “And in Nigeria, when we say ‘Oluwa is involved,’ it’s our way of giving credit to God for what’s happened. One of my favourite verses is Matthew 5:16 - ‘Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.’ This song is us doing just that. Whether on stage or behind the scenes, we want to reflect the light back to the source.”
With Marizu’s smooth vocals blending seamlessly with Faith Child’s high-energy delivery, ‘Oluwa is Involved’ fuses Afrobeats, gospel, and urban sounds into a celebration.
The single is a taste of what’s to come from Faith Child’s upcoming studio album, scheduled for the summer.
