MUSIC REVIEW: TRUST AND OBEY – KAYSI OWUSU

Date: September 27, 2013
Genre: Gospel (R&B)
Release: March 2013
Rating: 4/5
Reviewer: JEFFREY OWUSU


Once again I got the opportunity to listen before the public did. Not only because I am a radio presenter, but also my innate sense of good music. “Musical ears” are what I like to call the two parts of my body, one on each side of my head. Kaysi Owusu’s remix of this beautiful hymn makes you appreciate gospel RnB. There is no need to struggle to learn the lyrics because you already know them. Listen once to get the rhythmic sound or movement, and voila! You will also appreciate the creativity in the instrumental or beat put together by the audio engineer. Kaysi Owusu has a beautiful voice! It makes listening to this song a delightful one. Even though “Trust and Obey” lacks music authenticity or originality, the message in this rendition remains unchanged; “trust and obey for there is no other way to be happy in JESUS, than to trust and obey.”  As a teenager growing up, I never got around learning the second verse of this hymn. With this rendition as a personal favourite, I am determined to learn it. Through the storms of life, Kaysi reminds you to trust GOD and obey Him till the end.
