UK-based gospel Afrobeats artist Yomi Adelekan makes his musical debut with “Heaven’s Thoughts,” featuring acclaimed saxophonist FranSax—a deeply personal record born out of struggle, doubt, and discovering faith in the middle of a difficult season.
Built around the simple but powerful hook “Yes He loves me,” “Heaven’s Thoughts” is a Pidgin English call-and-response song that explores the reality of God’s unconditional love and grace.
The inspiration for the song came from Adelekan’s personal reflections on failure, difficult seasons, and the process of finding faith when circumstances make it difficult to hold on to hope. Rather than presenting faith as the absence of struggle, the song captures the journey of discovering God’s love in the middle of it.
Musically, “Heaven’s Thoughts” sits at the intersection of Afrobeats and contemporary gospel, combining a rhythmic African sound with a message that is deeply rooted in Christian faith. The use of Pidgin English gives the song a strong cultural identity while allowing its central message of love, grace, and hope to remain universally relatable.
A defining feature of the record is FranSax’s saxophone, which plays a central role throughout the song. Rather than functioning simply as an instrumental accompaniment, the saxophone almost becomes a second voice, engaging in a musical conversation with Adelekan’s vocals and adding another emotional layer to the record.
For Adelekan, “Heaven’s Thoughts” is ultimately a reminder that God’s love remains constant even through seasons of uncertainty.
The song also introduces listeners to an artist whose approach to gospel music is shaped by personal testimony and authentic African musical expression.
Adelekan has spoken openly about his journey through struggle, doubt, and faith, including during a recent appearance on UNITY Sessions. His sound reflects this personal journey, blending contemporary gospel themes with the energy, rhythm, and cultural character of Afrobeats.
With “Heaven’s Thoughts,” Yomi Adelekan begins his musical journey with a message that is both personal and universal:
You may struggle. You may fall. You may question. But you are still loved.
