NI YESU TU!!
Thats true; its all about Jesus, and that is what StAY Alive set out to achieve with this fresh CD. This 11 track CD is done exclusively in swahili.
All songs except one are vertical, meaning they speak to God directly. From the passionate lead single 'Wewe Wa Ajabu' declaring to God about His Awesomeness to the mellow two instrument thanks sacrifice 'Ni Asante', its a treat all through.
Fusion of genres can be felt all through the CD. With the jazzy tinged 'Zaburi 23', the soft rock infused 'Yesu - Nitakusifu Milele' and the benga / salsa fusion on 'Watawala' providing for lovely listenership.
You will connect with the soulful ballad 'Kuwa Nawe' while 'Mungu Ibariki Afrika' and 'Sala' give the CD a truly authentic african touch.
The CD closes with an invitation 'Njoo Kwake' welcoming all who may not have a personal relationship with Christ to come to Him. This banger will get your head popping and the rap flow within the song ably brought out by Core-Law (an upcoming teen rapper) setting you on edge. The song closes on high with a reminder that its all about Christ.
With all sounding right, it is good to point out one definite low! The group is obviously comfortable within live band domain. Achieving a live feel within a studio setting has proved a heavy task to achieve. However, this does not remove the shine off the album and only encourages one to look out for their live performances.
For their first outing this CD is amazing. Growth can only be expected since the group has used resources exclusively available with members, be it composition, arrangement, engineering, production, instrumentation, the entire works. Kudos.
If you aint got this CD yet, get yourself one and immerse yourself into a worship to the audience of one.
