One of the iconic surprises of 2023 was the unusual pairing of Victor Thompson and Gunna on the remix to the This Year (Blessings). The duo would go on to perform the record at Gunna’s sold-out Los Angeles show at Youtube Theater in September.
Today, building on his year of success and mainstream acknowledgement, he releases his debut album, Blessed through NWE Worldwide. With a blend of gospel and afrobeat influences,Blessed is a beacon of hope and inspiration, showcasing the depth of Thompson’s musical talent and devotion to spreading messages of faith, joy, and gratitude. Speaking on the new album, the artist notes that
“I am God’s evidence of Love, Kindness and Favour. That’s the expression and confession I share in this Heartfelt Debut Album “BLESSED”. The journey to this Album is a “grace story”. I grew up on the streets of Lagos, Nigeria and I’ve been doing music literally all my Life. However, I never could have imagined the extent of God’s love and blessings in my Life.”
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.
