Gospel singer Thoko Suya is back in the limelight and this time she has worked on hymn songs, some of which were being forgotten, and the album is titled Hymns<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Suya, who has three albums to her credit-among them Amandikonda <\/em>and Adzandinyamula<\/em>, said yesterday that the Hymns <\/em>album was ready.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Hymns <\/em>album is ready. I started working on the songs in November but now everything is ready and we will start distribution today,\u201d Suya said.<\/p>\n

She said that, for a long time, hymns have inspired and blessed a lot of lives spiritually; hence, taking up the task.<\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing suggestions from my fans, fellow artists, Thoko Suya Ministries partners and Pastor Chris Suya, my husband, I decided to work on this album. This is a dedication to people and my husband,\u201d Suya said.<\/p>\n

The singer said she worked with different artists in the Hymns <\/em>album. They include Limbani Simenti, Mac Kachingwe, Asiphe K, Grace Maliza and Allan Jogi.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to say that people should get prepared to listen to Hymns in this album which I believe will lift their spiritual life to greater heights,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The album has 10 songs which were recorded by Steve Mereka except \u2018Mwana Wa Mberere\u2019 which was recorded by Thomas Hojan in Cape Town, South Africa.<\/p>\n

Suya said she was thankful to people who sponsored the work for her to go to the studio and record the songs.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I earlier indicated, the songs were selected by people who support my ministry, pastors, including my husband and fans. They compiled them and all I did was just to go to the studio,\u201dSuya said.<\/p>\n

She said that she has not changed direction by working on Hymns<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have my own songs but this selection is special. Actually, I will also work on another album with my own compositions but, for now, I had to work on these hymns,\u201d Suya said.<\/p>\n

Some of the songs in the 10-track album include \u2018Thanthwe\u2019, \u2018Mtima Wa Mbuyako\u2019, \u2018Adzaoneka\u2019, \u2018Usikuwo\u2019, \u2018Ndinu Chidzalo\u2019, \u2018Pokhala Mtendere\u2019, and \u2018Mphete\u2019, a bonus track which, she said, is dedicated to her husband.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
