Wonderful Words of Life by Siyanqoba Mthethwa ft. Sam Chiwanda: A Song Review
Siyanqoba Mthethwa is a South African gospel singer and songwriter who has been making waves in the Christian music scene with his powerful vocals and uplifting messages. His latest album, Live at the Lyric Theatre, features a collection of live performances of his original songs and some classic hymns. One of the highlights of the album is his rendition of "Wonderful Words of Life", a hymn written by Philip Paul Bliss in 1874³. Mthethwa is joined by Sam Chiwanda, a Malawian singer and guitarist, who adds a touch of Afro-pop to the song.
The song begins with a gentle acoustic guitar intro, followed by Mthethwa's soulful voice singing the first verse. He sings with passion and conviction, expressing his gratitude for the gospel message that brings joy and peace to his soul. The chorus is catchy and uplifting, with Mthethwa and Chiwanda harmonizing beautifully on the words "Wonderful words of life". The song then picks up the pace, with a lively drum beat and a keyboard solo. The second verse is sung by Chiwanda, who adds some Swahili lyrics to the song, giving it a cross-cultural appeal. He sings with enthusiasm and energy, inviting the listeners to join him in singing the praises of God's word. The song then repeats the chorus, followed by a bridge where Mthethwa and Chiwanda improvise on the melody and lyrics, creating a dynamic and spontaneous atmosphere. The song ends with a final chorus, where the audience joins in with clapping and cheering.
