Gospel artiste, Nazareth, is set to launch his new album titled New Chapter at the Destiny Empowerment Chapel International on Sunday, May 29.

The title of the album is a reflection of his new lifestyle from the old ways and to thank God for saving him from a terrible sickness.

The launch is expected to be graced by some of the “senior” colleagues in the industry including Gifty Osei, Bernice Ansah, Nicholas Omane Acheampong, John Winner, Alpha Jerry and Jay Smoke. 

Nazareth-opening a 'new chapter'

Hiplife artiste turned evangelist, Lord Kenya, will also be present to share in the “glorious story” of Nazareth.

New Chapter is a 12-track album made up of songs such as Zachariah, Conquer Dem, Back to the Sender, Let’s Pray, Destiny Killer, Heaven or Hell, I receive it and Lord You Reign. The rest are Dream Big, Anwanwador, I refuse it and Spiritual Energy.

On Zachariah (remember me in Hebrew language) which features Yaw Stone of Mentor fame, Nazareth  calls on God not to forsake him because of his sins  but to remember him and forgive him. 

On I receive it which features Choirmaster of Praye fame, they both sing about the “wayward” messages of pastors without preaching about righteousness but resort to false prophecies.

Christians are urged to withstand temptations and put in practice the word of God on Back To Sender and entreats a habit of prayer on Conquer Dem which features Joe Sei. 

Nazareth praises the unconditional love of God for everyone on Anwanwador.

A pastor at the Destiny Empowerment Chapel International, Nazareth recalls how he used to “rock big time” as a hiplife artiste back then as Kwadwo Denkyem where he “rolled” with the likes of Sarkodie, D-cryme, and Yaa Pono, on Adom FM’s Kasahere Level with Dr Duncan.

“Currently, I’m doing a genre of music called ‘gospop’, a fusion of pop music and the gospel music we are used to. I can say I’m the first and only ordained prophet doing this genre,” he stated.
