Everton Mlalazi Unveils ‘Muri Mutsvene’: A Shona Worship Masterpiece Featuring OnceMore Six. In a season already brimming with festive cheer and spiritual reflection, Zimbabwean gospel powerhouse Everton Mlalazi has dropped a sonic gift that feels divinely timed.
His latest single, “Muri Mutsvene” (translated as “You Are Holy”), featuring the soul-stirring South African artist OnceMore Six, arrived on major streaming platforms this week, blending ancient Shona reverence with modern musical flair.
Released on December 5, the track is already being hailed as a “flawless victory” in the gospel arena, poised to become a staple in churches, playlists, and hearts worldwide.
Mlalazi, no stranger to the spotlight with his award-winning career—including the 2023 Africa Male Gospel Artist of the Year at the CLIMA Africa Awards—continues to bridge cultural divides through his music. “Muri Mutsvene” emerges from his anticipated 2025 album Great God, serving as a powerful declaration of God’s holiness.
The song opens with intimate, meditative tones, drawing listeners into a personal encounter before erupting into an anthemic crescendo. Warm piano chords set the foundation, accented by clean guitars and steady percussion, while atmospheric keys and lush choir harmonies create a cinematic soundscape that feels both timeless and urgently contemporary.
OnceMore Six, often known for his urban gospel edge with South African worship collective Mmuso Worship, adds a layer of cross-border magic. His vocals intertwine seamlessly with Mlalazi’s, elevating the Shona lyrics that steer clear of clichés to deliver profound faith affirmations.
In a glowing review, the track is praised for its spiritual potency and emotional resonance, seamlessly fusing traditional Shona hymnody with modern worship elements. The choir’s swelling harmonies deliver “goosebumps” moments, making it ideal for both intimate devotions and grand congregational settings.
