Kenyan gospel powerhouse Zion Njeri Mwangi has released a brand-new single titled "Umenipendelea", featuring renowned Tanzanian gospel minister Obby Alpha. The new release is already stirring hearts across East Africa with its message of divine favor, grace, and thanksgiving.
Zion's musical journey is deeply personal. Her mother, a reverend, first recognized Zion’s talent when she was in Class 7 and nurtured it by allowing her to sing in church. After her mother’s passing in October 2020, Zion turned to music as a way to cope with her grief—channeling pain into praise. Her debut single "Nitie Nguvu" in 2021 introduced her as a voice of comfort and spiritual reassurance. She has since released a series of successful gospel hits, including "Ni Wewe", "Shukrani", "Unatosha" ft Pitson, "Utukufu", and "Heri Kwako"
The new single "Umenipendelea", meaning "You Have Favored Me," is a deeply emotional worship anthem. With heartfelt lyrics and soaring vocals, Zion and Obby Alpha express gratitude for God’s unmerited favor. The harmonies are rich, the message is uplifting, and the production captures the spiritual depth the artists are known for. It’s a perfect song for reflection, worship services, and anyone needing a reminder of God’s grace during difficult times.
As "Umenipendelea" climbs streaming charts and gains traction on platforms like Mdundo.com and YouTube it's clear Zion Njeri continues to be a beacon of hope through her music. If you're looking for a gospel song that will uplift your soul and remind you of God's constant presence and love, this new release is a must listen. May the words of "Umenipendelea" bless you and remind you that even in the most uncertain times, God’s favor never fails.
