Nigerian gospel artist Tobi Jeff Richards pulls “Hope Dey” from his project “Expression,” bringing in Ebuka Songs and Bumerey for an anthem built around faith and perseverance.
Ebuka Songs brings real credibility into this collaboration, honestly. Born Ebuka Emmanuel Hillary in Imo State, he broke through with “I Will Pray” back in 2023 before Moses Bliss signed him to Spotlite Nation that same year.
So “Tobi Jeff Richards Hope Dey” pairs an established contemporary worship voice with Tobi Jeff Richards’ own catalogue, which already includes gospel collaborations like “Imela” featuring Frank Edwards.
Three distinct voices combining on one track takes real coordination, and Bumerey rounds out the trio here, adding another layer to what becomes a fuller, more textured sound than a typical solo gospel single. That combined vocal presence gives “Hope Dey” the kind of communal energy that works well for congregational worship, rather than staying purely reflective or personal.
The song’s message is about optimism being unshaken even when the circumstances suggest otherwise, a theme that is deeply embedded within the broader tradition of testimony-driven songwriting in Nigerian gospel.
Coming from an artist actively building his reputation as a leading voice in the genre, this collaboration adds real weight to that growing catalogue.
