A British-based Nigerian singer here offers his second album. Many tracks offer effervescent sounds of Nigerian highlife while the and vocals from Tayme' are attractively engaging. The poppy title track is a change from the Nigerian rhythms and with its dance-infused melody and encouraging lyrics is a standout. "1Life" is a track with an urban sound, featuring rapper Da Capo, which will appeal to the youth while the second version of the song has a Nigerian vibe and features singer Dee Jones. On "Just As I Am" Tayme' talks about his experiences and his connection with God over some elegant cello and a very urban beat. Recorded in the UK and America, all but one of the tracks on 'Gonna Be OK' are written by Tayme' who is also largely responsible for most of the production. This album manages to bring you from praise, worship and dance and the only drawback is that it is so short.
