Celebrated Zimbabwean gospel musician Everton Mlalazi recently released his much-awaited album titled “In the Presence 2: God’s Grace.” A sequel to the In the Presence Vol 1 album that he released almost at the same time last year.
The 2022 Bulawayo Arts Awards Gospel Artist of the Year launched his latest album in Bulawayo at the beginning of April, at a sold-out event.
In an interview, Everton shares the inspiration behind his album and the message he hopes to convey to his listeners through his music.
In this album, I wish to invite the listener into my spiritual journey. Inviting them into The Presence of God where I have seen Him at work in my life, where I have enjoyed God’s unmerited favour – which is His Grace. We all should find hope in the workings of God.
Everton Mlalazi’s music is known for its uplifting and soulful nature, blending traditional gospel with contemporary elements.
His lyrics reflect his personal relationship with God and his faith, which shines through in “In the Presence 2: God’s Grace.”
The lyrical content of my music reflects what God has done in my life. When I sing the music, I am drawn closer to Him, and my relationship with Him is enhanced
The album features a diverse range of songs that cater to different musical tastes.
From traditional imbube sound in “Nomakunje,” a collaboration with Ladysmith Black Mambazo, to hymns and contemporary gospel tracks like “He is Coming Back,” “Ndokutewera,” “In Your Name,” “Zita Renyu,” and “I Need Thee,” Everton’s unique sound is evident in every track.
