Info zu Count My Blessings

Blessing Annatoria, the 18-year-old sensational vocalist and reigning champion of ‘The Voice’, has won her second major battle by convincing her management to allow her to release a debut gospel album featuring many songs of faith. “Count My Blessings” is releasedon Friday, 30 April 2021 via Universal Music and will feature classic gospel hits, as well as hymns, specially chosen and reinterpreted with a modern twist by Blessing Annatoria who recognises the burgeoning young audience like her who have faith in their lives.

Fresh in everyone’s minds, due to being crowned the winner of ‘The Voice’ only in November 2020, after a seven-month break filming due to the pandemic, Blessing Annatoria has firmly embraced this experience to show there truly is no stopping her. Recording her debut album remotely during lockdown with award-winning producer, arranger and songwriter Rupert Christie, who has worked with the likes of Jessie J, U2, Coldplay, Lianne La Havas and Lou Reed, as well as Blackbook Music, Blessing Annatoria is releasing “Count My Blessings” less than five months after winning the show.

The gospel infused “Count My Blessings” features a stunning selection of 14 songs, representing all facets of Blessing Annatoria as an artist. From re-imagined versions of her ‘The Voice’ performances, songs that have inspired and uplifted her, to hymns, which she has given a contemporary twist, Blessing Annatoria wants to bring different cultures together, spreading joy and happiness.

Blessing Annatoria says: “During this time of hardship and struggle, I wanted to release an album of encouragement and joy. I want people to feel uplifted and I really hope the songs and hymns will give people strength to pick themselves up and be happy again.”

Speaking about extending her name from just Blessing, which she was known as on ‘The Voice’, she adds: “Annatoria is my middle name and actually the name of my dad’s mum, my grandmother, who sadly passed away when my dad was young. I feel like the name represents me as an artist and my different backgrounds, which is perfect for the new album.”

The upbeat and bouncy I Smile, an anthem to joyful resilience and optimism, is the poignant first single of Blessing’s debut album, showcasing her soulful and show-stopping vocals. She is joined on the track by a remotely recorded choir led by Kingdom Choir’s Wayne Hernandez, best known for performing at Meghan and Harry’s wedding and who has worked with artists including Jay Z and Gorillaz.

The album’s emotive and soul-stirring title track Count My Blessings, which Blessing Annatoria co-wrote, is a rich melodic message to have faith, spread kindness and to help each other. ‘The Voice’ fans will be thrilled with the inclusion of a beautiful new version of Blessing’s winning song Angels by Robbie Williams, a powerful and emotional rendition of Westlife’s Flying Without Wings, as well as an electrifying re-imagine of Mariah Carey’s Without You, the track which secured Blessing her place in the final.

Representing her childhood and faith, the album also features three hymns with a close connection to Blessing Annatoria. As a young Zimbabwean, Blessing grew up singing hymns in church and she has been surrounded by them all her life, which is why it was so important to her to include them on “Count My Blessings”, particularly the striking How Great Thou Art, which Blessing describes as her “family’s song”. All of the hymns have been given a contemporary twist and are set to introduce a new audience to their uplifting powers.

Blessing Annatoria




Blessing Annatoria
The Zimbabwe-born and Christian-raised vocal powerhouse is one of the many young people with an unshakeable faith using their platforms, particularly social media such as Instagram and Tik Tok, to uplift spirits, spread joy and the message of kindness and gratitude, while bringing people together. As recent studies show, young people have increasingly turned to faith during the pandemic and are now the leading force in the resurgence of faith with many arguing that this is due to the ease with which young people can find information and like-minded people online.

Growing up singing in church and with both her parents being pastors, Blessing Annatoria has always been surrounded by faith and music, a key component of her family and culture. Even her first ever public performance was a hymn at church, when her mum asked her to sing in front of the congregation before she started preaching. This significance of faith to Blessing Annatoria is reflected on her debut album “Count My Blessings”, which features a selection of the hymns that have been central to Blessing’s life, including How Great Thou Art, Abide With Meand In Christ Alone, all of which she’s given contemporary twist, alongside modern songs of faith, such as Moving On, Shackles and Kirk Franklin’s I Smile, Blessing Annatoria’s debut single.
