In love with God

Award-winning gospel vocalist Maranatha Goroh, popularly known as Maranatha, has spoken about the thrilling journey towards her new album, the Maranatha Music Ministries (M3) brand, her new singles and album release party.Following her debut album titled Smile, which was released in 2016, Maranatha has been hard at work on new projects, including a new album, rebranding her image under M3, as well as performing abroad.Maranatha said she is trying to penetrate the global musical market with her new music, which features different international acts.Her latest, titled No Other Love, features Naomi Classik, one of Nigeria's top vocal coaches. The single was released last week on some local radio stations, as well as on social media platforms.According to Maranatha, the single which was put together by different producers such as Mr Glo and Dj K Boz, does not talk about the love of boyfriends and girlfriends, but the love of God. “On this single, I am singing about my self-testimony, and expressing love for God,” Maranatha said, adding that God's love is unconditional.The single is a foretaste of what to expect on Maranatha's upcoming album titled Intimate Love.The single also followed her two inspirational tracks titled A Million Bright Torches and All We Need, featuring former South African Idols winner Heinz Winckler and gospel singer Ntokozo Mbambo.Speaking about her upcoming 15-track album, Maranatha says the whole album is about her personal love with God. She teamed up with acclaimed international gospel stars Mbambo, Shaun P, Winkler, Patrick Duncan, Classik and Freddie Vessels to give the album a different taste.Asked why it took her two years to complete the whole album, she says it is because of different producers and artists from different countries that worked tirelessly on the project.“I also have to fly outside the country to look for suitable artists to feature on my album, and different producers,” Maranatha said.Her direction with the album was to go global, and penetrate into the international market. “The album also aims to touch many people's lives and change their mindsets, especially those that are not Christians, to start believing in God,” she explained.Maranatha added that all her new projects were done under her new brand M3, which comprises of 14 members, including videographers, graphic designers, photographers and seven singers.Maranatha also announced her album release party next Friday, 1 November at Protea Fürstenhof, which she says is going to be one of a kind.During the release party there will be a live band performance by M3, as well Nam Gospel United artists. There will also be video clips of Maranatha's musical journey, performances, a listening session, mingling and interactions with the audience.Tickets will be sold in advance at Antonio's Art for N$200. The package includes an album, welcoming drinks and a meal.STAFF REPORTER
