Nathaniel Bassey has begun 2026 with a clear focus on worship, releasing a new album titled The Glory of His Presence just days into the year.
Arriving on January 2, the project feels intentionally timed—an offering meant to help listeners step into the new year with purpose, prayer, and reflection. Rather than positioning the album as something to be consumed quickly, Bassey presents it as a spiritual companion, designed for moments of stillness, devotion, and personal communion with God.
According to the gospel minister, the presence of God rests powerfully on the project in a way that is both tangible and undeniable. For him, the album is not background music, but an invitation to create space for worship. His message to listeners is simple: stream it, sit with it, soak in it, and share it.
One of the album’s most striking moments comes on track four, “Glory to the Lamb.” Stretching beyond 20 minutes, the song unfolds gradually, guiding listeners through an intense worship journey centered on the finished work of Christ on the Cross. Bassey has revealed that recording the track was anything but easy, as the atmosphere in the room was so saturated with worship that continuing at times became emotionally overwhelming.
It’s a song that demands patience and full attention—best experienced without distractions and without rushing. Bassey even advises listeners to exercise caution when playing it while driving, noting just how immersive the moment can be. The accompanying video, he adds, carries that same depth and intensity.
