Picking up where his previous albums—2020’s The Message and 2022’s To Yahweh’s Delight—left off, Nigerian gospel artist Minister GUC delivers another offering of heartfelt worship on 2024’s The Trio and I. Celebrating the personal relationship with the divine trinity that forms the basis of his faith, Minister GUC takes turns exploring the impact of that connection through the album’s 14 tracks, from the outpouring of gratitude that shapes “Letter to Jesus” to the comfort-seeking prayer “Preserve Me” and the reflective “My Case”. Pidgin English (“Man Wey God Show Mercy” ) and Igbo lyrics (“Oba Mi”) pepper the project, reflecting the artist born Gift Ugochi Christopher’s Rivers State heritage, while album closer “We Rely” makes a divine appeal for a better tomorrow for all.
