Victor Thompson - Blessed (Album)

With a soul-stirring blend of gospel and afrobeat influences, the project is a beacon of hope and inspiration, showcasing the depth of Victor Thompson’s musical talent and devotion to spreading messages of faith, joy, and gratitude.

Included in the new album “Blessed” is Thompson’s breakout single “THIS YEAR (Blessings)” which has amassed over 100 million streams to date. The track reached #1 on Billboard's US Hot Gospel Songs chart for the week of October 28th, surged to #3 on the Billboard U.S Afrobeat Songs Chart, in addition to being featured on Spotify's Daily Viral 100 chart globally and in 36 local territories. Following the success of the single, Thompson released a remix featuring Gunna, which the two performed at Gunna’s sold-out Los Angeles show at Youtube Theatre in September.

Known for his powerful music and devotional words, Victor Thompson's musical journey has been nothing short of remarkable. His career took flight at a young age, with one of the early highlights being his participation as a contestant on Season 2 of The Voice Nigeria in 2017. Since then, Thompson has quickly established his presence in the global music scene. Notably, Apple Music recognised him as one of the top 5 Nigerian artists on the rise, a testament to his growing influence in the industry.
