Cris Kester - Every August
Cris said he has been avoiding this song for a while, he mentioned August 14 as a date he always wants to close the curtain of love. I guess this is personal.

Cris Kester ft Leo Owan - Fire Flies
"Less of myself, more of you God" is a prayer we've said passionately over and over again, it is a race most of us run on a daily, but, we often forget this race as the pace gets intense. Fire Flies is a song that will remind you to speak less of yourself, and speak more of the King of Kings. The song features Leo Owan.

Cris Kester ft Castor Bridge
Let's talk about love.
I would have been surprised if Cris didn't include a love song in this album. I mean, if you are blessed with the ability to creatively put words together to entertain, it is only natural to put words together to delight the person you love. Right?
With Ankara Girl, Cris and Castor Bridge tease the girl "wey dey for corner" wearing an Ankara print how much love is available for two.
