Zvishavane-bred gospel songster Knowledge Khanye (pictured above) believes his latest two music songs are a creation for hope and resilience at a time little has been left following the tragic Covid-19 global pandemic that has forced humans to live in subdued conditions to reduce the impact.
The songs titled Bambelela and Ejipita were produced by renowned producer Blessing Masanga and are an encouragement to stay hopeful through crises and a declaration never to go back into the storm respectively.
In an interview with Standard Style, Khanye said the prompt release was influenced by the need to soothe the hearts of many through good music at a time the world was trying to restore life the way it was before the outbreak of the virus that has killed hundreds of thousands across the world.
“Life has not been the same for most of this year and as individual members of society we all have to serve our functions in helping each other weather the storm,” said Khanye.
“As a musician who sings gospel music, I was compelled to give these two offerings and I hope they reach the intended ears as they are coming from a special place in my heart and ought to serve a great purpose.”
The multilingual singer, proficient in five languages, said the two songs were in both isiNdebele and chiShona in order to spread a diverse message across the country’s length and breadth.
“I think that is one of the unique aspects of my music because I always try to project messages in different local languages so as to touch as many hearts as possible with this message of life,” said the Ndiri Hwai hitmaker.
