Her words: “I was a bit upset about the KUSH break-up. I felt like I had put my whole life on hold just to accommodate KUSH but it ended that way, this made me decided never to do music again. Of course, as you know, that decision did not exactly last long”

In a chat published by Vanguard, Lara George also gave a hint into the real cause of the break up that occurred 10 years ago.

‘‘It just happened. We grew apart and it I think it happened for the better. Music at the time when KUSH started was a very difficult thing to do particularly for three young professionals with so many career options. It was tough keeping things together at that time because the pressure the financial uncertainty brought took its toll on us as a group and everyone started to drift apart until we were no longer able to keep things going” she said

The much-celebrated album earned her several nominations and awards such as ‘Voice of the Year 2008’ Nigeria Music Awards, as well as ‘Song of the Year’ and ‘Female Artiste of the Year’, Nigeria Gospel Music Awards 2009.
