MULTI-LINGUAL praise and worship singer Everton Mlalazi is enjoying a purple patch on the gospel scene following the release of In the Presence Vol 3: Great God, a 14-track worship album that is making waves on local gospel charts.
The latest instalment in Mlalazi’s In the Presence series was recorded live on September 14 last year at the City Sports Centre in Harare. Several songs from the project are trending, underlining the album’s strong reception among worship audiences.
The album was introduced through the lead single Angeke Kulunge, released in November 2025, followed by Mweya Mutsvene in December, setting the tone for the official album release on January 2.
Rooted in deep African gospel expression, contemporary worship and spiritual intimacy, In the Presence Vol 3: Great God invites listeners to a space of reverence, reflection and unfiltered devotion. Beyond its musical composition, the album is positioned as a ministry tool, with songs structured to guide listeners through moments of reflection, praise and quiet surrender.
From the opening track, listeners are drawn into an atmosphere of deep worship as the album explores themes of holiness, thanksgiving, faithfulness and redemption. The project opens with Muri Mutsvene, a reverent declaration of God’s holiness featuring South African gospel star Oncemore Six.
Another standout collaboration is Great God, featuring renowned Nigerian gospel singer, songwriter and worship leader Moses Bliss. The song boldly celebrates God’s unmatched power and majesty.
Zuva Rangu, featuring Takesure Zama, reflects on God as light and guide, while Baba Ndiri Mwana Wenyu, recorded with the Harare MUMC Choir Vabvuwi, is a heartfelt declaration of sonship, offering a gentle reminder of God as Father, guide and light.
Other songs featured on the album are Munondida Ndakadaro, a reflection on unconditional love, Angeke Kulunge, a track about assurance of God’s faithfulness and Ngaavongwe, a joyful anthem of thanksgiving, celebrating gratitude and praise.

So far, the album stands as another powerful demonstration of Mlalazi’s unwavering commitment to creating music that draws people closer to God.
His music consistently prioritises authenticity over spectacle, creating space for listeners to pause, reflect and reconnect with their faith.
According to the man behind the production, the album was intentionally crafted to inspire personal devotion, foster spiritual renewal and enhance experiences in corporate worship settings.
Mlalazi reveals that the album was produced through hard work, shepherded by the scripture from Colossians 3, verse 23, which reads: “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.”
“Behind every song on this project is prayer, sacrifice and relentless pursuit of God’s presence. As we were in the trenches building this album, pouring our hearts out, we put all the trust in God to breathe life into every sound and element
of the project,” Mlalazi told NewsDay Life & Style.
“I see music as a calling to serve and if the songs help someone to pray, heal or draw closer to God, then the purpose will have been fulfilled. Worship is communal by nature. Bringing other worship leaders and choirs to this project reflects the unity and diversity of the body of Christ.”
As In the Presence Vol 3: Great God finds its way into homes, churches and personal prayer moments, it stands as a reminder of the power of worship to heal, uplift and unite.
