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

Posted on 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.

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

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 .

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’.

Mercylinah

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.

Rose Muhando’s “Yesu Karibu Kwangu” will take you back to church(Video)

Posted on by Branny

While people were busy with “parte after parte after parte”, Rose Muhando dropped a new song- Yesu Karibu Kwangu. Muhando  who has in the recent past released two songs ;Seemingly has received a renewed sense of energy in the gospel industry.

The song that is 100% likely to be a worship anthem has been well received by the fans.

It is a simple worship song, full of emotions but ideal for a prayer session especially when one feels too overwhelmed to pray.

It is the kind of song that speaks what the heart is feeling.Rose has been keen to bring that out.

Video

It is set in a very arid-like place with some of the characters dressed and chained like real slaves while others the masters.

I must say the suffering looks so real; the pain, misery, oppression and suffering is so well written in the video.

It is such a sad song that one almost loses hope for the slaves but then in the last few seconds  a bright light from heaven appears to them. The 6 minute video looks just like a whole hour movie.

The make up artist does such a good job in terms of making the vixens and Muhando herself look the part.

Lyrics

The song done by Rose is simple and direct in terms of lyrics.

It’s the prayer of the Nibebe star, inviting Christ into her life to comfort her through her misery and to lift her burdens.

Mfariji Njoo

Mtetezi njoo

Mtoshelevu njoo

Baba yangu

It’s a prayerful cry with very little singing besides the chorus. The stanzas richly punctuated with the prayers of the Tanzanian artist. This makes this song ideal for a worship as you can easily customize the stanzas to fit in your personal prayers.

The background vocalists have done a splendid job as their sounds smoothly blend with the mood of the song.

I strongly advise that you grab a handkerchief before you watch it, especially if you know you are an emotional person.

Rating 8/10.Watch and tell us what you think.
