The Afro-Gospel movement has a new heartbeat this week. Gaise Baba – who has been riding high on the NGMC Top 50 with “No Turning Back II” (currently sitting at #5) – has dropped the official music video for his latest single “Want to Grow”, and it is already resonating deeply.
Released just yesterday, the visual arrives as the latest offering from what Gaise Baba is calling “2 Hours. 3 Chapters.” – a theme that has been threading through his recent output, pointing to a discipline of prayer and scripture that fuels undeniable spiritual growth. The song’s description frames it as “a sound for all nations, and tribes, and peoples, and language,” designed to draw hearts back to the Father.
The Sound
Produced by Reinhard Tega, “Want to Grow” rides a warm, mid-tempo Afro-Gospel groove that feels both intimate and stadium-ready. Gaise Baba’s distinctive delivery – equal parts urgency and tenderness – sits at the center, carrying a melody that lingers long after the song ends.
What elevates the track are the layered voices around him. Child vocalists Gbolabo Ibuoye and Padeola Ibuoye add a purity that cuts straight to the emotion of the song, while extra voices from Sess the Problem, Adaeze Kalu, and Favour Ojo build a communal atmosphere – the sound of many joining in one prayer: I want to grow.
The Visual
Directed by Attuquaye, the music video is a masterclass in understated visual storytelling. Warm tones, candid moments of worship, and striking frames of Gaise Baba leading what feels like a gathered community create a visual that matches the song’s heart – this is not performance; this is pursuit.

Chart Context
“Want to Grow” enters a moment where Gaise Baba’s stock on the NGMC charts has never been higher. His collaboration with Lawrence Oyor, “No Turning Back II,” has been a fixture in the Top 5 since its release, proving his ability to deliver hits that resonate across worship, praise, and Afro-Gospel audiences alike.
If early momentum is anything to go by – with over 222,000 views in its first day – “Want to Grow” is poised to make its own run up the charts.
The Bigger Picture
The “2 Hours. 3 Chapters.” motif suggests Gaise Baba is building toward something larger. A teaser video titled “Ko Poju (It’s Not Too Much)” dropped days before, urging fans to pre-save and signalling that this season is about depth, not just deliverable.
For an artist who has already given us anthems like “Elijah Level,” “Logo,” and “Benefit,” “Want to Grow” feels like a deliberate step into richer waters – less about the climb, more about the roots.
