LaKendria Ujah’s “In the Name of Jesus – Live” feels like one of those records you don’t just listen to, you step into it. From the first few moments, there’s a clear sense that this isn’t about studio perfection alone. It’s about atmosphere, presence, and capturing something real as it happens.
The live setting plays a huge role here. You can feel the room, the energy, the way the vocals stretch and respond in real time. LaKendria leads with confidence, but it never feels forced. Instead, it comes across as natural, like she’s fully locked into the moment.

Bringing in Manus Akpanke adds another layer to the track. His voice contrasts nicely with hers, slightly textured, grounded, while still blending smoothly into the overall sound. It doesn’t feel like a feature for the sake of it; it actually builds the song.
The core of the track sits in its repetition: “In the name of Jesus… there is power in the name of Jesus.” It’s simple, but that’s the point. The repetition gives it weight, letting the message settle in rather than rush past you. And when the line “There is glory, glory, glory in this place” comes through, it feels like the peak of that build, where everything aligns vocally and emotionally.

Production-wise, it’s clean and well-balanced for a live recording. The instrumentation supports without crowding the vocals, and the arrangement leaves space for those key moments to breathe.
From the vocal layering to the pacing, it’s clearly designed to connect, not just with gospel listeners, but with anyone drawn to music that carries meaning. “In the Name of Jesus – Live” lands somewhere between worship and performance, and it handles both sides well. It’s engaging, focused, and built to stay with you after it ends.
