The 10-track album released recently shows Makoni’s true mission of winning souls to Christ with her melodious voice.
The album was produced by talented producer Ollin Anderson and was recorded at Kunashe Studios in Mutare.
In an interview with The Standard Style, Makoni, who sings with Towers of Grace Singers, said she was forever grateful to the Lord for continuous blessings.
“God does a lot of good things to us as people and on the album I am thanking the Lord for everything good that He has done to us. So we should show our appreciation to God. This album and songs on it show appreciation and thanksgiving to the Lord,” she said.
Songs on the album like Zvishoma Nezvishoma, Moyo Unonyengera and Hezekia have proved popular on radio because of their fast-tempo beat.
On the track Hama, Makoni features other prominent musicians Ellen Anderson and Dorothy Goba. The song Dombo comes with a jit flavour and it is a potential hit.
