Singer-Songwriter Gloria Maduka To Release Debut Album, “Of Light & Angels”

The ‘Of
Light and Angels’ album is a testimony that anyone can go as far as they
can dream. The first single release from the album, ‘Love Illusion’,
has already been heard across airwaves. Maduka chose as a first single
‘Love Illusion’ based on feedback from fans who stated that the song
spoke directly to their own personal situations. It has a simple but
powerful message throughout the lyrics: matters of the heart are to be
taken seriously as it is easier to fall in love than to fall out of it.
Maduka wanted her debut single to be one that her fans would fall in
love with.

“It is a very personal album that speaks about life
and love experiences” – Said Maduka. “The assortment of the stories
contributes to the overall vibe of the album. The songs have been a
work-in-progress for many years as I traveled through my own journey of
life to develop an album that my fans would be able to identify within
their own experiences.”

Maduka, who has formed The Gloria Maduka
Foundation, an organization created exclusively for charitable purposes
to aid helpless children, the elderly and individuals with physical and
mental limitations, has developed a unique trademark which is enhanced
by her ability to also write and sing in Yoruba and Spanish. Her
techniques with the conga, bongo, and djembe among other percussion
instruments set her apart from other female artists. Consequently, her
passion for percussion has been infused into her music and is heard
throughout her music.
