Celebrated gospel musician Michael Mahendere has joined forces with Nigeria’s Psalmist Jimmy D of Mighty Man of War fame in a single track titled My Time Has Come, which is set for release before the end of this month.
The Direct Worship choral group frontman, who doubles as a pastor at United Family International Church, has continued to widen his fan base with past projects earning him recognition nationwide and regionally.
In an interview with The Standard Style, Minister Mahendere described the song, which he co-produced with Nigel Nyangombe, as “a positive declaration” for the listener.
“We are just trying to build a relationship with the Nigerian musician so we can ride on each other’s influences,” said Mahendere, describing the song as an effort to break down borders between artistes of different nationalities.
“I respect Psalmist Jimmy D’s ministry and he also respects mine, so it was easy to work together. the song is a positive declaration and an encouragement to those that will get to listen to it.”
On how he settled to collaborate with the West African star, Mahendere said it was a natural connection.
“I met with him last year in Tanzania. Hearing his kind of music, we clicked and did not have a problem understanding each other so we became friends and agreed to do a song,” he said.
