I Chose Afro Gospel Because I Don’t Like Being Boxed – Joseph Matthew
Afro Gospel musician, Joseph Matthew has revealed the reason why he chose to venture in the Afro Gospel genre. In an interview on Citi Tv’s “Breakfast Daily” with Elaine Attoh.
Joseph Matthew explained that the traditional Gospel genre is circuit tight which leaves little to no room for innovation and creativity. As a cross over artiste who started off as a hiplife rapper and loves to create, share the word of God, and motivate, he found the Afro Gospel genre the best that fits just his music style and culture.
The current Gospel Song of the Year holder, GMA-UK, Joseph Matthew told the host, Elaine that music has always been a part of him because his family is a music one. As a trained drummer, he has always seen the Gospel music as the calling on him. Even though he left music for a while, he came back to it after school.
Also, Joseph Matthew posited that the target group for his music is largely the youth because he believes they need more uplifting and positive music to shape their growth. He further explained that as a ministry, Gospel music has somehow dejected them and he feels its his calling to fill those gaps. He furthered that it is not only that but also his music cuts up to all other people as well.
Having to his credit, seven tracks with exclusively beautiful videos to them, Joseph Matthew gave a wonderful performance before the start of the show and after that.

Mersea Unveils “Jopah”: A Musical Journey of Unity
“Finish Me” is a song off Mersea’s new album, “Jopah”.
The song has Wonder high ended shakers and snare combo in the beat. The sense of combo of Amapiano and Afrobeats vibes in the song is flawless.
The vocals are so much on point. The diversity of the male and female vocals created balance also. This is a great song.
The album, “Jopah” is of diverse influences to create a fresh, genre-blending sound. It’s a fusion of Afrobeat rhythms, soulful melodies, and contemporary sounds that reflect my personal journey and the cultural narratives that inspire me.
JOPAH is more than an album—it’s an immersive musical experience that connects deeply with audiences, evoking a sense of unity through music. Opportunities: With JOPAH now released, I’m eager to build momentum by securing strategic partnerships, media exposure, and distribution opportunities that will expand its reach. My focus is to: 1. Expand distribution through streaming platforms, record labels, and other networks for increased visibility and engagement. 2. Perform live, both virtually and in-person, to grow the fanbase and showcase the album’s energy on stage. 3. Gain media attention through press, radio, and other outlets, focusing on the album’s unique sound and cultural significance. 4. Collaborate with brands whose values and aesthetic align with the themes of the album to drive mutual growth. I believe JOPAH has the potential to resonate with a wide range of listeners, and I’m excited to partner with those who share my vision of creating powerful, cross-cultural musical experiences.

The Fruit of the Spirit: A Reflection of Divine Love Through Magdalene Ngala’s “Fill Me”
The presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives is a transformative force that enables us to bear good fruit. As described in Galatians 5:22-26, the fruit of the Spirit includes love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. These qualities are not only a reflection of God’s love but also a guiding light for our daily lives.
According to the scripture, those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires (Galatians 5:24). To live a life that is pleasing to God, we must walk in the Spirit, allowing His guidance and wisdom to shape our thoughts, words, and actions. As the apostle Paul exhorts, “If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit” (Galatians 5:25).
In our walk with God, it is essential to avoid becoming conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another (Galatians 5:26). Instead, we should strive to cultivate humility, kindness, and love towards others, reflecting the character of Christ in our lives.
In celebration of God’s love and the fruit of the Spirit, we invite you to enjoy a beautiful song that embodies the spirit of love and joy. The melodic scaling on the keys and supported chords on the pads create a loving atmosphere, while the natural and unadulterated vocals bring out the emotions of the heart.
The live beat performance adds a unique touch, making the listener feel like they are experiencing the music firsthand. The harmonious back-ups further enhance the song’s beauty, making it a wonderful expression of praise and worship.
Take a moment to listen to this wonderful song and let its message of love and joy inspire your heart. May the music be a reflection of God’s love and a reminder of the fruit of the Spirit in our lives.
