There is a special generation of gospel artists that brought cool vibes. Gospel lost the austere, reprimanding tone to a danceable presentation that spilled over to funky school fests and TikTok challenges.<\/p>\n

These artists include, amongst others – Bahati, Mr. Seed, Kelele Takatifu, Nimo Gachuiri, Msanii Foreman, Moji Short Babaa and my all time favorite – David Wonder.<\/p>\n

Gospel artists in Kenya have increasingly played rope with the fine line that splits gospel and secular – as fame and fortune grows. Not David Wonder.<\/p>\n

The likeable, stylish artist with an endearing ‘little brother’ mien has managed a clean, scandal-free run and a string of hits that has cemented his name in the industry.<\/p>\n

Who doesn’t remember the ageless hit ‘Ndogo Ndogo’ that featured David Wonder alongside Bahati?<\/p>\n

Well, fast forward to 2024, he now features in a brand new hit by US-based Kenyan gospel artist Msanii Foreman, dubbed ‘Leo<\/strong><\/em>‘.<\/p>\n

It’s a fresh offering by established Producer Sean on The Beat that’s set to cause a stir in an industry that has lately become quite lukewarm.<\/p>\n

‘Leo<\/strong><\/em>‘ is a beautiful fusion of two artists with completely different styles. Msanii Foreman is versatile, either a rapper with that punchy, deep baritone or a capable singer who’d easily croon over bridges and choruses.<\/p>\n

David Wonder brings his trademark vocals, that waltz over the keys in a very complimentary way.<\/p>\n

The artist’s effortless chemistry results in a beautiful offering with danceable beats and easy, sing-along lyrics.<\/p>\n

The ‘Leo<\/strong><\/em>‘ video is directed by DiDy – it does not disappoint, either. The director has nailed the basics – from concept visualization and location, to lighting that brings high, resolution coverage.<\/p>\n

The beauty, though – is in perfomance. The artist’s performance is in perfect sync with the song’s theme and intended message – ‘Leo’.<\/p>\n

It’s only the beginning, but it highly seems like we found the Gospel Song of The Year. I’ll keep my fingers crossed, and would easily pick on ‘Leo<\/strong><\/em>‘.<\/p>\n

Msanii Foreman and David Wonder clearly understood the assignment. I’d say they delivered.<\/p>\n
