Wigan-based Seiyéfa brings a clear yet challenging message with this new single. "Who Will Go" starts with some jazzy piano chords that would feel at home with the likes of Frank Sinatra though Seiyéfa's deep and rich voice is rather different from the late crooner's. Full bodied and confident sounding, she delivers the lyrics an encouraging tone. There's some good musicianship on display, with violin, piano and hand percussion, though the fiddle seems to enjoy perhaps a little too much limelight. "Who Will Go" is not immediately catchy: that quality is reserved for the following song "Our God Is Here". Instead, the unusual chords and clever vocal twists will provide prolonged interest to the listener, as the challenge of responding to a spiritual harvest is considered.

Another classic performance by Seiyéfa at Strongtower RCCG on Saturday 09/05/13. This young artist is truly maturing in both musical delivery and stage presence, surely destined to be one of the great gospel ministers of her generation.
