Why my songs have been more acceptable – Lara George

Renown gospel artiste, Lara George, blessed with a voice that can move mountains, recently unveiled the secret behind her hits and why most of her songs have been more acceptable: “When I started off in music even from when I was in KUSH, our message at that time was to try to sing about everything.We sang about God, love, conflict resolution, war and unity.
We sang to God, we put people’s mind on the things of God. I don’t believe there is only one way to that. I don’t believe it is only when you sing praise worship to God that you can keep peoples mind on God.
You can also sing other kinds of songs. For instance, you can sing about God’s point of view on relationship and every other situation we find ourselves in.
When you bring your message across that way, I think it makes it a bit easier for people to accept. Perhaps that is why most of my songs have been more acceptable
