Onesimus drops second gospel album
Malawian South Africa-based musician Onesimus has released his second gospel album, Messenger, under the Major 1 Records Label.
The artist trekked to South Africa six years ago after attracting the interest of Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG) founder Shepherd Bushiri.
He then ditched secular music for gospel.
The 14-track album is a follow up to his debut gospel album Epikaizo, which he released soon after relocating to South Africa. And the artist believes his trade has improved tremendously since he moved to the rainbow nation.
“My music has improved. I have achieved some things I could only dream of back then. I am actually doing well with sales on iTunes,” said the artist from his base in South Africa.
Onesimus has worked with some established names in the game including producer DJ Megi and DJ Moruti. He has also hooked South Africa’s hotshot Babes Wondumo on a song which was produced by DJ Megi and Destruction Boys.
He said: “The album is packed with different messages. But mainly the overriding theme is about bringing hope to souls who feel and appear lost.”
Writing on social media, a fan, Andrew Motale said: “More Grace and much love.”
Another one, Xihlamariso Biazo Machavi wrote: “I was playing your CD four hours ago. Thanks for the beautiful lyrics.”
Apart from the title track itself, the album has other songs such as Overdue, Sound of Peace, Don’t Pass Me By, Die For You, He Will Never Fail, Major 1’s Prayer, Trending, Shekele, Superstar, Hossana among others. The album was done in Afro-pop genre.
The Sinditha Kumvetsa hit-maker has revealed plans to promote the album in Malawi through shows whose dates will be announced by the end of this month.
