The Swithins – gospel singing quartet (sisters of same parents) today released their much anticipated Single titled ‘Miracle’. Miracle
was inspired by the health challenge of one the group member’s
daughter. It’s a high praise that’s guaranteed to cause a stirring and
was produced by award winning Pastor Nnamdy (King Buskie) Echezona and
recorded at Rockword studios.
Miracle becomes the
third officially released single from their upcoming Grateful album
after ‘Oyage’ and the award winning ‘Maka Ihe Nile’. Plans have also
been concluded to shoot the video later in October. Award winning
director – Akin Alabi will be behind camera on locations across Port
Harcourt.
The Swithins infuses sisterhood, faith,
culture, love for God and music into their craft. Earlier this year,
they received their ‘Best Music Group Award’ from TopNaija Music in
Lagos. Already they are enjoying massive airplay across radio and TV in
Nigeria as well as a popularity surge on social media. Maka Ihe Nile
video (released October 1, 2013,) is available for viewing on Youtube –
youtube.com/theswithins.
The group started in 1998 as an acapella
group with the sole aim of sharing the good news of the gospel of Jesus
Christ through music. Staying true to their original vision, their
unique selling points continue to include their consistency, dynamism
and love for God. This single just like the others incorporate
everything they stand for – taking the Gospel of love, mercy,
deliverance and encouragement to the ends of the earth through songs. It
is also a testament to their continuing story of God’s love and care.
The
local flavour is apparent in their choice of language and style. These
include Igbo (where the sisters are from), and Ibibio/Annang (a dialect
of the people of Akwa Ibom State in Nigeria’s Niger Delta. They grew up
and continue to reside in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
With Miracle, they hope to finally cement their presence in Nigeria /Africa’s music scene.
