Mhere speaks on new album

Problem Masau Arts Correspondent
Gospel musician Mathias Mhere said his upcoming album due for release on October 27 titled “Nguva YeNyasha” will be a more polished album than “Anoita Minana”, his last album.
Mhere, who is working flat out for the successful launch of the album, said all the eight tracks will have a message for the people.
“I hope the album will be well received than my previous albums because I put more effort. In some cases I am spending the whole day in the studio perfecting and polishing the tracks,” he said.

The album that becomes his third project follows the success of his 2011 album “Anoita Minana” that virtually became a national anthem.
“Every time I listen to my music, I pick out certain things I would love to improve, if I could do it over again. But I have since realised that I don’t have to keep thinking and looking back, but I should use the opportunity I have to release more songs and preach to the world,” he said.

The new album looks at different facets of Christianity and how man can enhance his relationship with God. There are also a number of praise and worship songs, in addition to other tracks that are didactic and merrymaking songs.

It, however, remains to be seen if his third musical project will be better than his two previous albums, which have been well received by his legions of fans across the country and in the region.

Born on June 13, 1988 in Gutu, Mhere made his grand entrance on the music scene with his first album “Tinoda Nyasha”.
It is, however, his second album, “Anoita Minana”, that catapulted him to stardom.

The album had sing-along tunes such as “Favour”, “Vimba NaJehova”, “Areka” and “Chipostora” that have made him a household name.
The album was followed by a sizzling DVD that was shot in high definition.

Mhere said he was inspired by the music of Baba Machanic Manyeruke and started singing in Grade 3 at St Mary’s Primary School in Gutu.
The gospel artiste has also released a hot DVD for his hit album “Anoita Minana”.

The DVD was shot in high definition and is touted as a top contender for the end of year awards.
What is interesting about the videos is the versatility shown by the young musician. The scenes on the videos accurately depict the message.

For example, on the song “Favour”, Mhere is seen chairing a board meeting surrounded by otherwise old people depicting that God does not consider the age of the person but rather one’s understanding of His kingdom, which man cannot rule.
