Sesha Masara-Mabeza’s album released last year is just not a musical piece but it seeks to connect listeners with God. With a compilation of eight songs, the album was produced by Tshepo Lesole of Hi-Note Productions.

Sesha said More than a song, which, was a title song was written and composed more than 10 years ago. 

“Singing to God and even people must be beyond melody, lyrics, sweetness of the voice, song arrangement. It must be a heart to heart connection that leaves the audience with a lasting and personal impression. It must be much more than a song,” she added.

This album comprises of eight tracks and all these songs were written and composed by Sesha except Gaayo, which is a traditional song and she re-arranged it. 

She said her song writing was inspired by God.

“ I have a gift of songwriting that has been there a few years after I started discovering my gift of singing following my salvation. 

They just come anytime. They are inspired by God because my life centres around him and who he is,” she added.

Although most of the songs in the album seemed to focused on a personal relationship with God as it connects the listener with the creator there are also some danceable tunes such as Gaayo, Lebitso la Jeso and Your name Is God.  Other songs to look out to in  the are Deeper, I will bless you, Your name is God and You are worthy.
