SB Live brings a lively gospel-highlife sound to his latest release, “Arakunrin,” a vibrant song built around gratitude, freedom, and faith.
The Nigerian singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist delivers the record with a warm musical approach that gives its message plenty of room to connect.
Released in July 2026 under the SB Live Band label, “Arakunrin” forms part of the musical journey toward his highly anticipated Only God album. The song presents SB Live, also known as Seun Bankole, in a celebratory mood as he reflects on divine deliverance and the freedom that comes through faith.
The Yoruba title “Arakunrin” means “Gentleman” or “Sir,” while the song itself carries a message intended for a broad audience. SB Live combines contemporary gospel elements with danceable Afro-highlife instrumentation, creating a sound that works equally well for personal worship and moments of celebration.
Lyrically, the song focuses on redemption and gratitude, with SB Live singing about being washed by the blood of the Lamb, having his sorrows taken away, and finding a reason to shout hallelujah. His delivery keeps the message clear while the upbeat production gives the record its lively character.
