Today is September 5th and it is a special day for Aijay, the sonorous songbird we introduced to The CiTy some month ago.
Indeed, this song has been highly anticipated ever since word got out on its completion. It is titled "My Heart Sings " and was written/voiced by Aijay and produced by ace producer, Mix Master J (B.O.U.Q.U.I’s elder brother). It is a mid-tempo song that talks about a heart that is grateful to God for all His blessings. Psalm 103:2.
On a day like this that most people expect gifts from others, Aijay is giving this song as a gift to God Almighty and to her friends and lovers of gospel music all over the world.
