Hot on Gospel Streets: Kenya meets South Africa in Foreman’s new Banger ‘Kua Tayari’

Posted on May 4, 2024 by Kibaki Muthamia

Ever tried writing lyrics to a song? It’s not a lazy walk in the park. Lots of time, you have to wrack your brain for days on end.

It can be easier, if you are in Genge – or, Urbantone – for their audiences hardly give a thought to the lyrics.

Gospel artists have a bigger task. Getting it right means much more than simply reading a part of the Bible that has some impression and starting a melody that fits to the words on your guitar. You need a message that counts.

Besides, you need to make it interesting to grab an audience.

Msanii Foreman is an US-based Kenyan gospel artist and philanthropist. He has an impressive tally of gospel hits under his belt, landmark collabo’s with iconic artists in the industry and an insatiable Kenyan’isque appetite for growth.

Through his music Foreman has increasingly portrayed himself first as an evangelist with a message.

Secondly, with his characteristic energetic stage performances, choreographed video routines and contemporary style – Foreman has also cemented a reputation as a gospel entertainer.

There is a lot of flair and contagious energy in his productions – the kind that will have the congregation (and, party crowds) going nuts with dance!

The video to Foreman’s latest release ‘Kua Tayari’ produced by Sean On The Beat, has caused waves across various genres.

He has featured Moabi Kutu in the banger – the iconic US-based recording artist from Soweto, South Africa. As an individual artist, Kutu’s music is rooted in African rhythms, tonality and spirituality.

In the ‘Kua Tayari’ collabo, Msanii Foreman and Moabi Kutu have exploited an effortless chemistry to deliver a feel-good, spiritually-uplifting and entertaining sound. The track has enchanting elements of Afro-pop, Lingala and World Music.

The ‘Kua Tayari’ video is especially addictive to watch. No budgets were spared in the dance choreography, costumes and routines. The video directed and shot by Abudja of Ona Tena Media goes all out on cinematography – lighting, scope and all – to deliver the danceable bits of the track.

It is a video that would easily take over Dance Challenge contests on TikTok and other consumer platforms.

If anyone asks, say that ‘Kua Tayari’ by Msanii Foreman featuring Moabi Kutu definitely ranks high on my favorite Gospel tunes. It packs a lot of potential.

Here’s a link to the video. Check it out, share to your gang and hear their opinions.

Posted on May 11, 2020June 1, 2020 by Branny

As we rant about how rotten the gospel music scene is marred by lots of scandals, we never get to ask the same artists direct questions like what went wrong?

We had the chance to speak to gospel artist Guardian Angel, on the issues around this genre of music. The Deka hit maker has managed to stay relevant in the gospel scene for a while now.

We wanted to understand what happens in the gospel scene and where some people went wrong .

In his part he says allowing themselves to divulge in worldly music just to please fans was the breaking point.

Guardian Angel

Guardian Angel revealed that contemporary gospel music is a a difficult scene to venture in. He said as a gospel artist fans have very high expectations.

For a guy that started his career back in high school the uphill task of gaining a place in the music industry has not been easy.

He says fans play a very big role in music creation thus get to a point where some have to get more creative to impress fans and not for the glory of God.

I for one for a long time have been a keen follower of what other artists do and truth is artists have not revere for God.

However Nakuhitaji hit maker managed to pave his way back to the top despite few sat backs.

As it stands I can confidently say that he is now the reigning king in the contemporary gospel music. I mean fans love him.

Gospel David Wonder goes all repentant in new tear-jerking song ‘Kosa’ (Video)

Posted on April 22, 2020May 4, 2020 by Branny

As the contemporary gospel music scene keeps grappling with uncertainty, singer David Wonder has dropped another song dubbed “Kosa”.

According to him”Kosa’ is a story of a young Christian in trouble after accidentally doing the unthinkable. I mean we all make mistakes.

For David Wonder he uses this opportunity to ask God to forgive him for the mistakes he made.

However, we must aknowledge the fact that he is among artists that are really struggling. Musically he has been doing well however since they exited the now shut EMB records his numbers have gone down.

Well as we seek to understand why we delve into this beautiful worship sensation by David.

Lyrics

In a world full of judgement and persecution, the Washangaze hit maker literally breaks down in the song. He highlights his shortcomings as a human being.

For Kosa he starts of metaphorically on how repentant he is.

Niko na damu kwa mkono na nyama kwa mdomo
Nitakulaje?
Na lawama za wana hazifiki kikomo
Nitashibaje?

Nasema Baba nimekosa ooh kosa
Kosea weee
Nisije fanya tu kakosa ooh kosa
Kukosana nawe

When you look at the lyrics he tells of a story of young man’s anger and impulse that made him kill someone unknowingly.

He says he found his wife cheating on him with his neighbor and did not realize how he got to pick a knife and the next thing he saw his neighbor down lifeless and bloody.

Being sure he is being sought after the police David remorsefully asks God to forgive him for his mistake.

A clear highlight of today’s society where couples end up in such situations because of crimes of passion. Undoubtedly David poured his heart out and in such a tough time many need to get this message.

The audio was produced by producer Alexix on the beat of Bingwa records and the video done by ACE of Elexir Nation.

I believe Kenyans should give David Wonder a chance to shine by supporting his music like this one.

For rating I will go with 8/10. Watch the video and tell us what you think.

Guardian Angel pleads with God in “Usinipite”

Posted on April 10, 2020May 4, 2020 by Catherine Nderitu

Usinipite is a gospel song which is like a short prayer to God. The song as the artist Guardian Angel sings, he prays when the Lord passes to bless his people.

He may not pass him by, simple hearty song and prayer as well to many.

Guardian Angel sings that in this life one can get all he wants. But without God in life, many suffer internally with all they got.

Usinipite is a cry to God for help

Thus wealth means nothing without God, for wealth without internal peace is vanity.

The artist tries to emphasize to people about life. Through this his ‘Usinipite’ version, that people should pray for God’s blessings and guidance. This is because in life many pray for earthly things, which no longer bring inside peace. Thus his lyrics, usinipite mwokozi unisikie unapo zuru wengine usinipite.

Being a passing world he continues the lead, asking God for forgiveness. “Kiti chako cha rehema nakitazama magoti napiga pale nisamehewe.” Guardian Angel sings that he depends on God for comfort both heaven and earth. He thus prays to God to keep off people trying to get to his life negatively for him to see heaven.

The song has been well done being a familiar hymnal lyrics. It has a heavy message to us as it is a prayer as well. With these hard times of COVID-19, we should look up to God, to bless us.

For him as well to take the wheel as he passes to bless his people. Thanks to the artist Guardian Angel for his blessing song ‘Usinipite’ for encouraging us.

To add on, it is worth noting that Guardian Angel is talented and Usinipite is just a confirmation.

Considering the song has been done before, his version appears to make it look like a new one.

In conclusion, Guardian Angel gets a rating of 7/10.

Bahati is no longer an artiste but a socialite

Posted on March 4, 2020March 4, 2020 by Branny

Mtoto wa mama alias Bahati is no longer a baby. Bahati seems to enjoy this attention of stardom negative or positive.

Despite all the scandals from the purported “gospel artist,” Bahati might just be headed to the secular scene. How?

So here is the thing the boy’s drama is louder than his music.

Also read: The little drama boy: Bahati’s lost objective in the gospel music industry

The other day it was Bahati arresting his musician Peter Blessing and his producer. Shortly after just as expected he created a new narrative around his collaboration with Boondocks Gang in the “Taniua” song.

I also think that song was utter nonsense! But who cares?

For long we have tolerated the aspect of disrespecting God that is why we’d dance to music like “Taniua.” Got nothing against Boondocks gang, I mean gengetone is still a thing.

Further, Bahati has identified that fact that Kenyans have a habit of embracing scandals and they chew on in proper. So the question of Bahati opting to be a socialite comes in.

Bahati the Socialite

It all started with the Tv show “Being Bahati ” on NTV. The wanted Kenyans to keep up with what the Bahati’s do. After all its “Mtoto wa mama.”

Maybe when it got to his head he lost his cool focused more on the drama than the music. These saw his close friends like Mr. Seed and David Wonder among others leave EMB label citing indifference.

The other day he was hurling insults at Jamaican deejay G Money calling him gay. See what I mean? But well netizens are unforgiving he got what he asked for lash back.

Well, that happened, then as we still were absorbing the Taniua song he drops another jam in collaboration with the Kansoul dubbed “Kererembe”.

And just as expected Bahati was trending to Twitter being bashed for somewhat switching to the secular scene.

Something that got Willy Paul welcoming him to the secular music scene. We hoped for more music and less drama.

Also read:“Welcome to my world bro!” Willy Paul applauds Bahati for joining the secular music industry

Or rather if it gets that bad why not shift officially to secular music or just be an artist that does all sorts of music because I insist GOD DESERVES TO BE RESPECTED no in between!

Watch Kererembe and tell us what you think.

I doubt there is any other singer with this kind of energy. Joyce Omondi is a talent that needs to be releasing hits a lot.

This Is My God is a praise song acknowledging God

This Is My God is simply explained in simple Bible verses. “Who among the gods is like you, Lord? Who is like you— majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?

In addition to the strong work, she is basically what has been keeping the gospel industry growing. She might not be releasing jams every now and then but you can attest she is great.

Although the song is being received slowly, This Is My God is just superb. Joyce Omondi needs to try a collaboration with Mercy Masika. I am sure the duo will bring the best.

Also, This Is My God is purely based on the word of God. What do I mean? This jam is so Biblical. Further, into the song, Joyce Omondi shows how mighty her voice is. She is just great in her vocals.

To add on, this song is relevant in relation to Christianity and anyone else who believes in the existence of God. It is open to all be it the old or the young.

In conclusion, This Is My God by Joyce Omondi gets a rating of 6/10.

Actually, the whole song is a prayer for God to bless him and shame his enemies. Am sure most of us this is a prayer for the year. According to him, he needs to feed and feast before their eyes.

Further in Kosi, Guardian Angel says that all he needs is to praise God and serve him diligently. Also, you’ll notice that this prayer is a good one to begin the year.

Alice Kimanzi and Paul Clement treat us to Yuko Mungu

Posted on December 30, 2019May 4, 2020 by Catherine Nderitu

Alice Kimanzi has featured Tanzania’s best Paul Clement to bring us Yuko Mungu. This is a soul searching song that is calm and true.

To add on, this is where we say Kenya meets Tanzania. Yuko Mungu is filled with praise and much love for the supernatural being.

Alice is known for her great taste in music and much love. She is a talented soul who leaves no stones untouched. On the other hand, Paul Clement is a successful lad who has treated music with a lot of love and passion.

Their coming together Yuko Mungu is the best thing ever for it will help promote and grow music from East Africa.

In addition to all the praises above, it is time to get what exactly the song is about. You realise that it is not always they have the same message. Being released at a time when the Christian generation is celebrating the birth of Christ, there is a lot to expect.

Yuko Mungu is giving hope that God exists

Mungu anaweza kufanya njia njangwani, na mito ya maji nyikani. Kama alifanya masika na kiangazi. Anaweza kubadili majira pia na nyakati. This stanza introduces the song as well us prepares one for the mood of the song.

In the above stanza, the duo is talking of God’s strength. It indeed conforms with their song’s title, Yuko Mungu.

In the stanza performed by Alice Kimanzi, she talks of how God protects her in the darkness even when her faith is drowning.

In the chorus performed by Alice Kimanzi and Paul Clement, Yuko Mungu anayeweza, Yuko Mungu anayetenda, mwamini yeye, mwamini yeye, hutoaibika. This is the best chorus. Also, there is much that is in the lyrics but we cannot highlight everything.

In conclusion, Yuko Mungu is a hope-giving song. It only requires one to renew their faith in God. Last but not least, the song gets a rating of 7/10.

Mercylinah and Mercy Chinwo make it a church affair as they team up for “Mungu kama wewe”(video)

Posted on October 31, 2019May 5, 2020 by Branny

I once talked of how we desire to have some kind of worship in our churches. That which makes you you feel that despite all the pain you go through there is always a superior being watching over you. Two celebrated gospel artists Mercylinah and Chinwo were recorded singing “Mungu kama wewe” at Yadah worship fest 2019 .

Also read:South African Pastor Benjamin Dube gives yo reason to go back to church in this jam “Hold me tight”(video)

Well, even as we ponder on what really happened to the church, we must give credit where its due. Mercylinah Wambugu is a Kenyan worship gospel musician who is popularly known for her hit song ‘Nashukuru’.

Mercy Chinwo is known for the worship song “Excess love” that she did back in January 2018.

For a duo that has so much success in the gospel music scene this version of the song is definitely worth your time.

Mungu kama wewe

This is a song that has had so many versions of it by several gospel artists. In this, the two bend so well as they synchronize their voices to bring the heavens down.

In this version the two worship God with their vioces as Mercylinah starts it off with the Swahili parts . Then she is later joined by Chinwo who inputs her voice that is all strong and full of power.

Her accent and energy throws you in the blessing and worship mood like never before.

In all forms of despair, the artist have played the lead role as their back up band also did justice by playing at the same tempo.

Basically, even as you look at the video you see sincerity in the worship. Ideally this is what we all need in life. That is there is anything we believe in and well at least as a nation we believe in God.

If you feel down cast I trust this jam will bless your soul. Watch and tell us what you think.

Paul Clement praises God in ‘Mungu Halisi’

Posted on October 22, 2019May 5, 2020 by Catherine Nderitu

Paul Clement is back with a new tune dubbed Mungu Halisi. This jam is nothing but pure bliss. Am positive that you are going to like it.

The singer has had the gospel music industry going for some time now. The Tanzanian singer who is passionate about music really knows what to feed his fans.

One thing for sure is that Paul Clement gives his songs the emotional touch which makes one associate with what he is singing.

To start with, Mungu Halisi delivery is what captures ones attention. The way the band is being played is just amazing. I have not come across such kind of music from today’s generation more so here in Kenya.

You are the True God

First and foremost, we need to understand the message in Mungu Halisi. Paul Clement is talking about a True God. By this it means that no one can be compared to God as he is all powerful alone.

Ajabu imo ndani yako Matendo yako bahati Ni kamili, si hadithi Ukitenda umetenda Bwana simply meaning; Wonderful things are to be found in You. Your works are not due to luck .They are perfect, not tales Lord, If You do You’ve done.

In addition, Paul Clement in the second stanza talks of God’s terrifying work as they cause trembling.

Matendo yako Yanatisha kama nini Matendo yako Yanatetemesha.

To add the singer goes ahead to talk of how God is not a fiction, He is not a story but a true living God whose works can be done.

Paul Clement has always given hope to many through his good music and it is a great honor that you’ll find music of his work being played in church.

Mungu Halisi is a song that gospel artistes here in Kenya should embrace and work to improve their music.

In conclusion, this song is just so lit. I even don’t know what to say but Mungu Halisi gets a rating of 7/10.

Ps Jackes redeem hearts in ‘Ni fanane na wewe’

Posted on October 19, 2019May 5, 2020 by Catherine Nderitu

Ni fanane na wewe is a gospel rhythm. It narrates on how the artist would want his deeds to be what God wants and thus be like him. He narrates he was told a mistake is never a mistake till it’s repeated. Also it is a world full of friends thus watch out friends who love earthly fan.

Redemption is for one to choose between going to heaven or just remain on earth. What matters most is to have and stick to ones faith without concern on what people say. Faith comes through listening and acknowledging Gods word (Bible). The Bible takes away confusion because God is the final and whole truth and everlasting life.

Nifanane Nawe is all about emulating God

Ps Jackes thus takes the chorus lead, ‘nifanane nawe.’ He sings out of all he’s learnt and practiced about the word he’d want to be like Jesus. It involves the repetition of the title, ‘ naomba nifanane nawe.’

He continues the lead asking God to hold his hand there’s a harsh storm. Ps Jackes sings he’d want God to be his friend and teach him the way to follow.

Thus asks for guidance on how to forgive and love even those who don’t believe in love. Such a journey for this artists which many people have a real challenge to follow in this life. Jackes asks God to let him be close to him and follow his ways and never bring him shame.

The song is full of life. It is a true gospel that’s sang from the heart of this artist Ps Jackes. The lyrical flow was well done complimenting the title of the song, ‘nifanane nawe.’

The video is also well done, a simple caliber for a gospel song set to pass a simple message. Indeed the artist has blessed the fans with a good hit. Christianity is a journey that involves a lot especially sacrifices of earthly things. Thumbs up to the artist for letting us know. Like and give us your views on the song as well.

Benachi has a new tune ‘Your Will’ and it is very lit

Posted on October 15, 2019May 5, 2020 by Catherine Nderitu

Benachi is back with a new tune dubbed Your Will. The Kenyan US-based singer is still taking the gospel high. This jam comes in after his last jam Mama Olivia in which he was praising his wife.

Although the singer in miles away from his homeland, Benachi is slowly taking the industry that has fallen shot of serious gospel singers.

To start, he is a talented musician who already knows what he wants. Your Will is a gospel song that is speaking on letting God do as he wishes with our lives. Many people are so low in today’s times and only a good song will keep them sane.

Your Will has been delivered in both Kiswahili and English making it easy for all people to understand. In this song Benachi is also encouraging believers to keep on trusting in Christ.

Your Will is all about trust in God

The song which is produced by Mavo has a tune that one can easily get into a prayer mode. The video has a feel of a family that needs God. Utakalo lifanyike, Matendo Yako yafanyike kama utakavyo.

In addition, Benachi talks of God as the one who draws our ways as he wants and in the way He wants done.

Let Your Will be done is derived from the Bible where we call on God using Our Lords prayer. Actually, this takes one to the gospel where there is hope to those who believe in God.

The song is more of hope and this is what Kenyan gospel artistes are missing in their work.

Further it is okay to say that the song is relevant at this time as most things have been happening to people that will only let them doubt their faith.

There is hope for the industry to rise with this kind of music.

In conclusion, Benachi in Your Will gets a rating of 7/10.

Eko Dydda teams up with newby Piyo to bring us “Rada”

Posted on August 26, 2019 by Branny

Eko Dydda started off this year on a rather rocky path.This was after the scandalous break up with the mother of his children. Relationships!! That’s just about it.

Anyhow, that did not mark the end of his music career of the gospel music. Eko Dydda has teamed up with a new face in the industry, Piyo, and brought us a new jam dubbed “Rada”.

The award winning gospel rapper has clearly not brought his A-game.

Rada

From the title of the song you wouldn’t clearly get the message that it was intended. For a leighman Rada is a sheng word that means whats up.

Further as you listen to the song Piyo starts of with some sense of rap that cannot even be interpreted easily. I mean not even Kartelo can-he is the sheng master.

I wold say the lyrical break down for this song was not creatively done or rather thought out.

Eko Dydda being the longest player in this scene should have considered that. Especially for a gospel song this is way below per.

Not hating on Piyo, clearly he is a talent to watch out for but for this song this is a big flop.

Another thing, is the kind of set up use too is not as catchy thus the reason I say that Eko being a house hold name should have done better.

Considering this song was to serve as a redeeming power for him then I believe this did not work.

Production

On the good side we must give it to the video editor. For the quality, they did a good job especially doing the beat by beat visual effect.

The color transitions have worked well for the song.

But we also needed to get the message from the first words. I hope am clear on that.

The Song was directed by Didy and the audio done by Krispha.

For rating purposes unfortunately I will give this a 5/10. Watch and tell us what you think.

Posted on July 16, 2019 by Catherine Nderitu

Guardian Angel performs his songs in a way that will capture ones attention. He has invested a lot in emotions. Actually, it makes one feel like they are walking hand in hand with God at the moment.

Although the gospel industry is still struggling, Guardian Angel is doing wonders.

‘Kuongozwa’ message

Kuongozwa is simply means Whatever I do Wherever I be Still it’s God’s hand That leadeth me. It is such a simple line derived from the Holy book and it means a lot to many.

Also, there is this stanza that really makes me feel good; Lord I surrender Withholding nothing Wacha roho wake nijae For by his sense He leadeth me. You know that moment at the altar. Further he says that he is giving his life to God and leaves nothing behind. What a beautiful song!

Production

In addition to the strong message in Kuongozwa , a lot has been done to make this jam great. First the audio producer did a good job. The audio and the beats are in sync. Also, mixing is well done. This is the work of Vicky Pondis of Simba Sound Production.

Secondly, the video has been given the best. The director is someone to be consulted by many. Directing for this video was done by Kevin Current. The video has met the international standards. To add on that, the choice of background is great and the costume.

As far as the gospel industry is concerned, Guardian Angel is really doing well. Kuongozwa gets a rating of 8/10.

Mercy Masika Says ‘Muite Yesu’ in her new jam

Posted on July 9, 2019 by Catherine Nderitu

Mercy Masika is back with another praise song ‘Muite Yesu’. This jam is dope and it is all about seeking for help from God. She says that people should call on God when in a problem and not be silent.

Mercy Masika has been doing well in gospel and her choice of words in her music is just amazing. Is she the only sane artist in this genre of music?

Muite Yesu comes in a few weeks after her last release I love You. This lady is super talented and I like how she gives it her all in her music.

Production

In addition to her voice, there are other things that makes this the best jam today. Most gospel artist rarely give it their all and their sing for money. I don’t think that is the case with Mercy Masika. Muite Yesu has seen a couple of hands at work.

To start with, the jam has been written by Mercy Masika, Pitson Pen and Paper and Tim Still Alive. This is some good work from the duo. It is so smooth and calming and you notice the perfection in it.

Both audio and video was done Still Alive Production. It is a great deal here. The quality of the video and sound is just dope. Graphics and other visuals are just great. The beat to this jam is just wow.

The background is great, the song has been shot in Kenya exposing the beautiful scenery. Also, the choice of costume is good and not overdone.

Delivery of ‘Muite Yesu’

There is a way that Mercy Masika delivers her songs. She brings out the emotions clearly something that makes people enjoy the song. The gospel vibe is felt in her voice and words. Generally, the song is good and it gets a rating of 7/10.
