Sound of Goshen Declares God’s Presence In New Live Album “Praise And Worship”
Sound of Goshen Declares God’s Presence In New Live Album “Praise And Worship.” From the heart of Johannesburg rises a sound that feels less like music and more like a spiritual uprising. The South African gospel collective Sound of Goshen has released Praise & Worship (Live), a seven-track live album that thunders through heaven’s gates with divine force.
Captured in the raw heat of a Shiloh-inspired worship night, this project functions as a pilgrimage. It is a modern-day exodus of praise that bridges languages, generations and dimensions by blending Zulu reverence with English anthems to create a worship tapestry that invites everybody in.
Under the Johannesburg sky, hands rise like olive branches and voices lift as one. Sound of Goshen, named for the biblical zone of refuge, has built a devoted following with independent drops on Apple Music, YouTube and Boomplay. Known for raw, spontaneous live sessions, they have now turned up the intensity with Praise & Worship (Live) and brought in some of South Africa’s finest gospel voices: Collen Maluleke, Fafa Segoneco, Tshwarelo Methetswa and Mmuso Worship. Together, they turn private prayers into a collective hallelujah.
Each track reads like scripture set to music. The album opens with “YHWH,” featuring Collen Maluleke, which bursts into the communal cry “YHWH, we praise you” — a powerful worship anthem that instantly stakes the record’s identity. From the first note, it’s clear: this is a collection devoted to the Almighty, a deliberate reminder that every offering of praise belongs to Him.
“Psalm 24 (A)” with Fafa Segoneco follows as a reclaiming anthem, echoing the psalmist with the line Umhlaba uyinkosi kaJehova, The earth is the Lord’s, a bold statement in a world full of uncertainty. “Psalm 24 (A)” with Fafa Segoneco follows as a reclaiming anthem, echoing the psalmist with an upbeat rhythm.
As the set deepens, “Kungomusa (D)” with Tshwarelo Methetswa offers a cool breeze of mercy with the refrain “Kungomusa kaJehova,” reminding listeners that grace is given freely. “Uyingcwele (B)” with Collen Maluleke delivered a laid-back worship tune fit for worship at the holy throne of our holy God. The song honours the Zulu praise traditions shaped by legends like Rebecca Malope. “Saviour (B)” with Collen Maluleke moves into English, its chorus You are the Saviour, worthy is the Lamb, painting redemption in full colour.
The album reaches its peak with “Ukhona (F)” featuring Collen Maluleke, a presence-soaked moment that turns passive listeners into participants. The congregation roars Ukhona la, siguqa phantsi, He is here; we bow down, and the energy becomes worship in motion.
The final track, “Glory to God” with Mmuso Worship closes the set in a swell of doxology, a finale that feels eternal and leaves a sense that time has paused for reverence.
