About "Blessings"
"Blessings is about the joy that I experienced when going through a lot yet seeing how God continued to bless me. Whatever I have been through, God always gives me more, going above and beyond. I am so grateful for the moment I fixed my eyes on the Lord he opened doors and blessed me even more. The Bible says do everything for the glory of God so from now onwards I will be doing music that glories God and leads people on the right path" - Natalie Okri.
NEW MUSIC ALERT EDEN XL - YES I DO
Introducing song ‘Yes I Do’, by award-winning music label Eden XL Music, from their brand new EP. The song is a blend of fresh afro-pop/amapiano/RnB Soul sounds, encompassing the vibrant essence behind marriage and weddings. When speaking on the inspiration behind the song, songwriter and artist Kossi Bruno shares it came from, ‘attending a lot of weddings, sitting there as a guest ….and wanting to be able to hear my music played, and [incite] the same response [of]: joy, happiness…to provoke and animate people with all the beauty that comes from weddings.’ He goes on to discuss how the inspiration for the sound of "Yes I Do" is deeply rooted in the soul-stirring single "Omemma" by Chandler Moore. This track served as a guiding light for the musical direction of "Yes I Do," blending heartfelt melodies and rhythmic warmth to create a similarly captivating atmosphere.
On a deeper level, the inspiration for the meaning of "Yes I Do" comes from the beauty of love itself—finding true love, cherishing passion, and embracing the commitment to a lifelong partner. The song also reflects the artist’s personal journey, including officiating weddings and feeling a strong conviction to craft music that celebrates the sanctity and joy of love. "Yes I Do" is an ode to the power of love, honouring its transformative impact and the union it creates.
The release of the single on all streaming platforms is accompanied by their latest eye-catching lyric video which hits the notes of these core themes of celebration and commitment, as it features bold sunsets and smitten couples. It freshly captures and invokes Kossi Bruno’s initial excitement as he recalls the feeling of wanting to get into the studio to create this song with ‘something bubbling on the inside [of him], and he couldn’t wait to get it out!’
This is Eden XL Music’s second single in this energetic genre of love, following after their award winning hit ‘First Dance’. They continue making strides in this class of music that ‘makes you want to get up and dance’, and in particular encapsulates the passion behind pure, everlasting love. As a newly founded label they’ve quickly started to carve a space for themselves in this industry.
With much more brimming at the surface of Eden XL Music, 2025 is definitely the year to be on the lookout for them.

"The song “Black Balloons” is both motivational and inspirational as it contrasts Black people in America with balloons that overcome the forces of gravity to rise high. Syleena honors her late father, legendary soul & blues singer Syl Johnson on the powerful track by using some of his original vocals recorded in back in 1969.
