Track listing & style

Here are the three tracks, as gathered from available listings: ( Amazon Music)

1. “If Not for You Jesus (Easter Song)” – 08:10 ( Amazon Music)
• An Easter-themed song, focusing on the resurrection and gratitude to Jesus.
• Likely features joyful, triumphant elements typical of Easter worship.
2. “Oh That Blood That Set Me Free (Holy Communion Song)” – 07:36 ( Apple Music - Web Player)
• A Communion (Eucharist) song emphasising Jesus’ blood as redemptive.
• Intimate worship style, reflective, and oriented around sacramental themes.
3. “It Is Not Over Until God Said (Reggae)” – 07:15 ( Amazon Music)
• A reggae-style Gospel song, slightly different genre tone, with a message of perseverance and divine timing (“not over until God says”).
• Adds variety to the collection, showcasing flexibility in style (from Easter hymnody to Communion reflection to reggae groove).

Themes & Intent

• The collection is clearly rooted in Christian liturgical / worship themes, specifically the two pivotal Christian observances: Easter (resurrection) and Holy Communion (the Lord’s Supper).
• The first track celebrates Easter: new life, victory over death, gratitude (“If Not for You Jesus…”).
• The second track is grounded in Communion imagery: the blood that redeems, setting free, Jesus’ sacrifice (“Oh That Blood That Set Me Free…”).
• The third track shifts to a more personal / motivational message: “It Is Not Over Until God Said” – while it may be less overtly liturgical, it resonates with the Christian assurance that God controls the outcome, encouraging believers to persevere.
• Combined, the single offers a worship journey: from celebratory Easter praise → sacramental communion reflection → personal life application (God’s sovereignty & endurance).

Musical & Artistic Notes

• Having a track in reggae style is noteworthy: it broadens the musical palette beyond typical gospel/traditional worship, likely reaching listeners who appreciate rhythm/groove alongside worshipful lyrics.
• The 8-minute and 7:30-minute track lengths suggest that these are extended worship pieces, perhaps with meditative sections, instrumental breaks, or live-style worship dynamics rather than strictly radio-friendly 3–4 minute songs.
• The release timing (January 2025) is interesting: while Easter in 2025 falls later (March/April), the early year release may position the single as a preparation or reflection for the upcoming season; or simply as a stand-alone worship offering that draws from those themes.
• Self-released under the artist’s name suggests creative independence — the songs may reflect personal style, possibly blending traditional gospel with contemporary/reggae influences.

Potential Audience & Use Cases

• Worship leaders looking for new songs for Easter services or Holy Communion settings could draw from the first two tracks.
• Churches with a diverse musical style might appreciate the reggae track for “life application” services or youth worship.
• Individual listeners who enjoy gospel with a meaningful message, and a variety of styles.
• Christian radio or streaming playlists focusing on liturgical seasons (Easter), communion meditations, or motivational gospel.

Recommendations (for marketing/usage)

• When promoting the single, highlight the three-fold journey: Easter celebration → Communion reflection → faith-in-action/reggae.
• Use the track “Oh That Blood That Set Me Free” for Communion services; it aligns directly with the sacrament.
• Use “If Not for You Jesus” during Easter Sunday services or any resurrection-themed worship gathering.
• The reggae track “It Is Not Over Until God Said” could be used in a youth service, outreach event, or as a single for radio/streaming to reach listeners beyond traditional worship settings.
• Consider accompanying visuals or lyric videos: especially given the longer track lengths, a slow build video might work well.
• On streaming platforms, tag appropriately for “Easter gospel,” “Communion worship,” “Reggae gospel” to reach multiple listener segments.
