UNITED STATES-BASED gospel musician Sthandwa Ncube (pictured) will at the end of this month launch her debut album titled Seated On The Throne, marking a new thrust in her career.
The eight-track album, produced by Bheka Mthethwa and Erastus Nleya, was motivated by her intention to give glory to God and help brethren in devotion.
“The album is inspired by how God has walked with me through these years, the songs in the album give glory to God and intend to help brethren to worship as well as be reminded that no matter what, God is seated on the throne for us,” she told Standard Style in an interview.
Ncube detailed how singing in church from an early age created a zeal for gospel music which she has not let go ever since.
“Gospel is the only thing I was introduced to from my childhood as I grew up in a family of a strong prayerful grandmother and pastors. Church to me was a lifestyle, not a choice,” she recalled.
Currently a member of the Closer-Worship Experience group, Ncube was once a lead vocalist in the revered Zimpraise choir in addition to ministering in front of different congregations around the world.
“I have been learning all along, preparing and researching so that I produce quality music that will touch people’s hearts. So it has now all aligned well enough for me,” she said.
