Declaring His Name All Around The World (2011)

Artist: Muyiwa & Riversongz
Album: Declaring His Name All Around The World
Release Date: August 29th, 2011
Style: Praise & Worship/ Afro-Beats / Gospel
Label: Riversongz
Location: London, England

About:

As a singer and broadcaster Muyiwa’s deep rich voice has reached millions in Europe, Africa and the USA. In 2009 he was the first international artist to appear on the American BET channel at the annual ”Celebration of Gospel”. Earlier this year he presented the ”Turning Point” program to an estimated global audience of 70 million. Now with his fusion of soul, RnB and Afro-beat, featuring collaborations from Gospel favourites Darwin Hobbs and Mary Alessi as well as the multi-talented Riversongz and produced by the Grammy Award winning Kevin Bond, ”Declaring His Name all around the World” is a natural progression to his previous 4 CD/ DVD releases. The sheer power and poignancy of Muyiwa’s unique sound is simply too strong to stay a purely gospel secret. Yet, his music that brings so much joy is the product of early personal suffering.

Michael Ketterer

Reviews:

“For so long the secular music world has been running the show as far as “new sound” goes and Christian music has been coming in second place.. and i believe that as Christians we are supposed to be the ones making the new sound that compels all people to listen.. resulting in all people getting exposed to something that is new and fresh from God and i believe that when people listen to this album they are getting exposed to just that. This album is so anointed and so fresh, and it led me right into the Father’s arms with every beat. God, i ask that you would keep pouring out more anointed and fresh lyrics and sounds through Michael Ketterer.. so the people can experience you and your love.. in the name of Jesus.” - Andrew

Deitrick Haddon

About:

“The idea dropped on me out of nowhere and, when something hits your spirit like that, you know it’s a gift from God,” says Haddon. “There are moments when God will give you stuff that is out of this world, and that’s what “Church On The Moon” means to me. There’s so much sadness and craziness going on down here on Earth, I want to take you somewhere else for a while. CHURCH ON THE MOON is Gospel music from another perspective – a record that takes you on a journey. When the last song has played, you will feel far above any problems that were weighing you down.”
