Recording artist, songwriter, worship leader and author David Adesokan (pronounced ah-DAY-shu-konn) will release his debut album, Thirsty, on the Wellspring Music label on August 24, 2010. The record is the next step in the continuing outreach ministry of the multi-faceted, Houston based Christian artist.

Thirsty consists of 12 worship tracks that passionately express the desire to seek a closer relationship with the Lord. Under a variety of musical styles ranging from contemporary gospel with “The Most High/Awesome God” to the Caribbean Gospel sounds of “Hallelujah”, Adesokan fills out his songs with lyrics inspired by his times in direct personal worship and study of God’s word. It’s an album that echoes the songwriter’s personal directive to use his music to call the Church back to a place of intimacy in worship.

“This is primarily a worship project,” Adesokan says, “and I want people to really take away a renewed thirst and desire for more of God and all that He has in store for us in His Presence.”

Since beginning to sing in his church choir at the age of 11 and learning to play the piano a few years later, Adesokan has spent the past 14 years serving in various musical capacities; as a Music Director, Minister of Music, musician, and Youth Ministry volunteer at various cross-cultural denominations. Releasing his debut album is his way of spreading his musical worship of God to a wider audience.

As for what Adesokan wants listeners to take from his album, he puts it best himself:

“It would really be [for listeners] to discover or rediscover a passion, renewed hunger and desire for intimate and genuine worship to the Almighty God, even if they never remembered my name! I equally desire that a dam would break on their inside, and like David in Psalm 42, that they would thirst for more, and more of God again.”
