Ohemaa Mercy is not relenting!

 

By Jullie Jay-Kanz

The multiple award-winning Ghanaian gospel minstrel after refreshing all Christians and gospel music lovers with her 7th Studio album has not refrained from the energy of churning out inspiring music.

Ohemaa Mercy is currently hitting highs with her latest song dubbed Ote Me Mu. She featured the 2020 VGMA Male Vocalist of the Year winner and gospel singer MOG on this new spirit-filled one.

Ohemaa Mercy Ote Me Mu, Ohemaa Mercy
Released on January 4th, 2021, the masterpiece which literally translates in English as He Lives in Me has enjoyed a massive embrace from Ghanaians and already topping major music charts.

The song which has a strapping blend of the contemporary, and hi-life vibe is instantaneously burning a fuse to dominate international charts anytime soon.

The lyrical composition that makes up the song is inarguably spirit-filled and as such, purée a plethora of amusement and abdication of one’s life to the Lord

Ohemaa Mercy has made a pronounced return with this latest hit single as she recently celebrated 100 thousand youtube views on the official video a few weeks after its release.

The high-priced in-studio visuals for the song were shot by Mc Willes of Flashback Media whilst audio production made by Kaywa.

” 2020 has been challenging due to the pandemic but on the contrary, we have realized that our God is closer to us now more than ever before… He lives in us”: Ohemaa posted on her pages prior to the release of the song.

Ecstatic Eleana Makombe speaks on USA Award Win

She has been around for a short time, 3 years to be specific, but in that time Eleana Makombe has already witnessed God’s elevation in her musical career.

 

Having started music only in 2017 the mother of two bagged her first gong at the recently held USA Maranatha Awards for Best Collaboration Song for her track ‘Tenda’ on which she features multi award-winning South African gospel musician, Zaza Mokhethi.

“I am overwhelmed with joy and very excited to have won my first award as an upcoming gospel musician. All the glory goes to God,” said Makombe.

“It feels good to be recognized, appreciated and I just want to thank the Maranatha Awards team USA for such an honour. I also want to acknowledge my producer Macdee Chidavaenzi who is also a family friend as he has been instrumental in supporting my music journey both as a producer and mentor.”

Makombe who is also a pursuing a degree in nursing at the University of Bedfordshire revealed that had it not been for outbreak of the Covid19 pandemic she would have recorded her debut live DVD this year. 

Maranatha Award

Nonetheless, the singer spurred by the award says she will release more projects in 2021, highlighting that a new album is on the cards – a follow up to her debut offering ‘The Lord’s hands’.

“I am going to release my second album titled ‘Season of Grace’ next year. By the grace of God, we pray that we will be able to also have the live DVD recording project which is currently on hold.

We continue to pray for guidance in 2021 for God to connect us with the right people to work with and will continue putting in the hard work,” she shared. 

Besides her musical and nursing inclinations, the Kwekwe born and bred singer also has a finance background after attaining an accounting diploma with Bedford College UK. She is currently the finance director in a family business she runs with her husband of nine years, Tinashe Makombe.

Tatenda Mahachi drops single with US-based Isaac Simpson

Renowned gospel singer Tatenda Mahachi delivers yet again a staggering collaboration He cares for You featuring American vocalist Isaac Simpson.

 

The eminent release taken off a popular folk gospel blended into a fast tempo-house-like beat is a reassurance of God’s care and love for the human race.

Equipped with infectious melodies that tell the story of Jesus’ love in adversity times we currently find ourselves in, “He Cares for You” sees Tatenda Mahachi and US-baed Isaac Simpson combine their range to come up with a danceable yet prayerful jam.

“The song is a reminder to everyone that even though we are living in difficult circumstances God’s love still abounds and he will take care of us,” explains Mahachi.

“We adapted the chorus from the popular traditional song Ane Hanya Nesu and gave it a different life with the help of Macdonald Chidavaenzi who produced the song,” he added.

Mahachi first met Simpson in 2016 after being introduced to him by his friend the late South African gospel star S’fiso Ncwane, and the two decided to keep in touch for future works.

He cares for you is available on all digital platforms with the video set to be shot between December and January 2021.
