Christof Jennings - Taking Over

Produced by Tone Jonez, “Someday” is inspired by and dedicated to Bishop’s mother, Nancy Ruth Jones, who passed on Sunday, February 6, 2022. The first few bars of Verse 1, “Separated on Earth, We’ve been together since birth, I’m missing you more in your death, and every day I feel cursed”, speaks directly to the profound impact of her passing. The songwriter and performer notes that this was the most difficult song composition that he has ever written and performed because of the painful correlation between loving and losing someone of such an impactful presence and significance. In Verse 2, Bishop depicts the same unavoidable fate that his young son, Seth, Jr., will one day face when he has to go through growing pains after his passing. “Death is unavoidable, but by embracing the brevity of life, the hope is that you will find your reason for being and fulfill your purpose before your time is up”.

Breathe (feat. Seth Usifo Nwosu, Jr.)

We could all use a little love right now, or at least a reminder of how joyous love makes us feel. With that in mind, Bishop The Overseer takes a lead from Pharrell and recorded this extended version of Snoh Aalegra's February hit, "Whoa." 

For Bishop's version, Snoh's original emotional vocals remain intact; as if they needed any editing, but Bishop jumps in right around the 2:11 mark with an ode to his wife that would put any spouse all in their feels.

Put this one in your 'grown folks biz' playlist, and grab the wine and candles.
