Gospel minister and trumpeter Nathaniel Bassey has released a new live worship project, The Life Recording, inviting listeners into an intimate sanctuary experience from wherever they are.
Gospel minister and trumpeter Nathaniel Bassey has released his new live project, The Life Recording, on 14 August 2026. The seven track album brings an intimate live worship session to listeners, centred on faith, gratitude and spiritual renewal.
Bassey leads most of the recording himself. Vocalist Mirabel Ekezie joins him on “Onye Kam Ga Si Na Oyiri Gi” for the album’s only featured performance. The tracklist moves through declarations such as “Agbanilagbatan”, “Praise the Lord” and “The Potentate” before closing with “New Beauty”.
Two moments on the record carry personal backstories from Bassey. “The Battle Belongs to God” is a medley written with Joshua Selman that incorporates “You are You and Jehovah Nissi”. Bassey captures a declaration of victory and dominion over life’s challenges. Rooted in 2 Chronicles 20:15, he shared that the session was recorded as a timely sound in season, reminding believers that every struggle ultimately rests in divine hands.
“Glory To God in the Highest” was born in the middle of a church worship service. Bassey described hearing the melody filter down from the heavenly throne room, and he noted that the presence and breath of God rest heavily on the song for anyone seeking a deeper encounter in praise.
Whether played straight through during quiet time or looped as individual tracks throughout the day, The Life Recording offers a refreshing space to breathe, rest and reconnect.
