Otile Brown Releases First Gospel Song “Hafanani” After Criticism Over Raha Fest Performance

Following a mixed reception at the recent Raha Fest concert, Kenyan artist Otile Brown has surprised fans with the announcement of his first gospel song.

Titled “Hafanani” (He is Unlike), the song is set for release on Friday, April 5th. Otile shared a preview on his Instagram page, expressing his desire to sing praise to God.

“Many things have inspired my songs,” Otile wrote. “This time, it’s the Lord. Witness my voice tomorrow as I sing to Him for the first time.”

The short clip features snippets of the song’s lyrics, including a powerful message of faith. Otile sings about facing challenges without fear because of his unwavering belief in God’s presence.

“Even in accidents, even in death, I am not afraid,” the lyrics proclaim. “As long as You are with me, my God, You are unlike any human…”

This announcement comes just weeks after the release of Otile’s 15-track album, which included the popular song “One Call.” The song gained significant traction following the death of Kenyan TikTok star Brian Chira.

Otile’s foray into gospel music is a bold move, and fans eagerly await the release of “Hafanani” on Friday.
