GOSPEL artiste, Given Siyabonga is not stopping from taking his musical career to another level. He recently launched his third album titled Nyasha Tadziona/Stepping Up Three at a packed Elite 400 cinema.
The gospel muso revealed that when he started to believe and worship God his sad life story script changed.
“Before I surrendered my life to the Lord I led a sorry life and I was trying this and that but without any success. But when I started to believe and worship God my life changed from being bleak to being bright. I am happy and I am feeling the change,” he said.
He went on to say he saw the hand of the Lord in his second album Stepping Up Two as it opened a lot of opportunities that saw him grow in the industry.
As a result of that he named his third album — Nyasha Tadziona/ Stepping Up Three meaning he has seen the grace of the Lord.
It carries eight tracks — Nyasha Tadziona the title track which features a Harare-based gospel muso Trymore Bande. At the album launch the title track seemed to be the crowd favourite as people showed their exquisite dancing skills and sang along.
Mukadzi mutorwa also features Bande. Nguva yekutenda which is a praise song won the hearts of many also as they sang along thanking the Lord for His goodness in their lives.
In a bid to woo youthful listeners and those young at heart, Siyabonga did a collaboration song Hande, with Dancehall artiste Cain Dick. The song Tudiki speaks about sins which people consider as trivial but taint their righteousness and keep them apart from the Lord. The album is available at Kingdom Life International Church for $2.
