Fresh voices, new flair and sound are the hallmarks of ZimPraise’s The Jesus Revolution Season 13 project scheduled for launch this Easter Monday.
This is the first project since the country went into lockdown and is pretty much a departure from their previous projects as it features graduates from the ZimPraise Academy, a feat which is in keeping with the choir’s vision and mission.
It is the first live recording which will have a live audience.
The music is relevant and speaks to the situation now and not then.
The rebranded ZimPraise Legacy Chief Executive Joseph Madziyire was upbeat about the project saying stakes were high.
“The latest project is not anything you have heard before. It is relevant because it speaks to the situation now.
“For the last two months we have been working on a project which we have named as the Jesus Revolution.
“This is season 13, which means it is the 13th project which we have worked on as ZimPraise outside of the hymns projects. So ZimPraise has done many other projects which are hymns night 1, hymns night 2, 3 and forth hymns which we did during Covid-19 which you may have seen which was done in Mutorashanga.
“We have also done a Women of Praise project and we have done ZimPraise Kids project but I must say the seasons are particularly the main projects which we release every year. Hymns is released every two years but this seasons project, we have pretty much been releasing it every year until when Covid-19 hit.
“So for the last two years we haven’t released any project, any season’s project, and this is gonna be releasing the 13th season while ZimPraise is 15 years.
“In actual fact, we should be releasing our 15th season while we are celebrating our 15 years but because of Covid-19. We have not been able to release two other seasons, so what’s going to happen is we are gonna be releasing this season 13 which is a project which we have been working on for the last I must 4-5 months,” Madziyire said.
Madziyire thanks their partners NetOne and South Africa Airways for their continued support of the project saying they believe in the same vision.
