Rising Nigerian gospel sensation Pelumi Deborah has teamed up with acclaimed spoken word artist IBquake for the release of their highly anticipated single, “Balogun (The Army Commander).” Now available on all major streaming platforms, including Apple Music, YouTube, and Spotify, this spirit-filled track is already captivating listeners with its blend of heartfelt praise, dynamic rhythms, and profound biblical inspiration.
“Balogun,” which translates to “The Army Commander” in Yoruba, portrays God as the ultimate warrior and leader in spiritual battles. Drawing from the biblical story in 2 Kings 7:3-8—where four lepers advance, and God amplifies their footsteps to scatter enemies—the song emphasizes themes of power, transformation, victory, and divine identity. Pelumi Deborah describes it as a worship anthem designed to elevate prayers “from 0 to 100,000,000,” infusing joy and peace into every listen. Produced by the talented Jerrydepianist, the nine-minute track features Pelumi’s emotive vocals intertwined with IBquake’s poetic delivery, creating a sound that merges Afro-gospel elements with contemporary worship.
The collaboration originated during Pelumi’s birthday worship session last year, where, in a intimate gathering, the Holy Spirit revealed several songs in just three hours. “I struggled to capture the depth without diluting it,” Pelumi shared in a recent behind-the-scenes discussion. IBquake, honored to contribute, added, “This isn’t just a song—it’s warfare, victory, and identity wrapped in power.” The recording process felt like a live concert, reflecting the artists’ dedication to excellence.
Fans can watch the official live video on Pelumi’s YouTube channel, premiered at 6 PM WAT. “Balogun” is more than music—it’s a call to worship and warfare. Stream it now and experience the divine energy.
