“Miracles” – Kingdmusic
“Miracles” Kingdmusic Independent (release date: July 1, 2022) www.kingdmusic.com By Robert M. Marovich Pulling its text from Matthew 17:20, “Miracles” by Kingdmusic is a bright, optimistic worship anthem designed to remind listeners that belief in God can overcome all crises. Kingdmusic premiered the composition at a worship service in Pretoria, South Africa, and had the congregants singing along. The memorable melody and hypnotic chorus is ready-made for congregational participation. From Venda, South Africa, Denga “Kingdmusic” Takalani, is a multi-award-winning artist, songwriter, worship leader and record producer. To my ears, this is his best single to date.
