‘Revive Us’ is a worship song written, produced by Florocka and voiced by both Florocka and Sandra Suubi. Florocka states that Revive us is a worship Anthem that will bless people’s souls. It is a prayer of intercession which he holds dear to his heart.
Sandra Suubi’s vocals blend well with Florocka and thus birthing a soothing, prayerful, powerful yet a soul rejuvenating song. Sandra Suubi shared with us how the song is so timely with the movement of the Holy Spirit in the church and rejuvenates her souls as well.
Both artistes shared their excitement about the collaboration by posting on their social media platforms about the release of the song. This gives hope that the song will be promoted both in Nigeria and Uganda. The song will be released on 26th February 2020. The song will be available on all streaming platforms and performed live by both artistes on 27th March 2020 during the Vine awards at Serena.
