GOSPEL musician Mathias Mhere has finished recording his much-awaited album due for release next Monday. Mhere said the eight-track album titled “Nguva YeNyasha” would go a long way in promoting Christian values and morals. “I hope the album will be well received than my previous albums. I am spending the whole day in the studio perfecting and polishing the tracks,” he said.

The album, his third, follows the success of his 2011 album “Anoita Minana”.
“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 use the opportunity to release more songs and preach to the world,” he said.

The new album looks at different facets of Christianity and how people can enhance their relationship with God. There are also a number of praise and worship songs.

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

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 made him a household name. The album was followed by a sizzling DVD that was shot in high definition. What is interesting about the videos is the versatility shown by the young musician. The scenes on the videos accurately depict the message.

Mhere who was inspired by the music of Baba Machanic Manyeruke started singing in Grade 3 at St Mary’s Primary School in Gutu.
