Renowned reggae gospel musician Buchi Atuonwu, popularly known as Buchi by fans and lovers of gospel music across the world, has released his ninth studio album on 1st December, 2024 in Lagos.
The ten-track album is the latest collection coming from the Kaduna-born songwriter, producer, poet, and author, with its title ‘Alive and Well’ inspired by some rumours of death surrounding the music minister.
Besides this, the album characteristically speaks to such themes as gratitude, God’s faithfulness, and His sovereignty, seeking ultimately to draw the attention of humanity to God’s fatherhood and the availability and accessibility of His help to all, among some other salient themes.
Speaking about the album, he said, “The album includes Alive and Well, No Pressure Pon Yourself (I have a right to be happy), Peace, King Jesus and Bamba. Others are Every Sound, Faithfull God, Thank You, Pastor, and Cease fire.
“Among my evergreen hit songs are: What A Mighty God, It Well, Mma Mma, Jesus Must Be Honoured, Ke Hossanna, What A Thing, Holy Holy, I Know His Name, Jerusalem, Number One, Brand New Man, Yes Lord.
“I featured and collaborated with some young upcoming artists in my latest album as a way to create the platform for them to showcase their talents, and I intend to collaborate with more upcoming artists subsequently.”
Buchi is a well-travelled, internationally sought-after music minister and also leading light in the reggae gospel music field with his unique notes and rendition of biblical messages that amazingly resonate with people of different religious and ideological persuasions.
