Selomi & Methuselah Mpofu PRESENT: Mwari Wangu(Individualist Remix)
The song is a nod to the African soil, true to its roots, stomping beats and a feel good tone that feels like you’re closer to home. The urgency of ease and a strong desire to tell a story with the song and the arrangement itself is beautiful and blends the vocals with smoothness making the song to have that needed power to move you into the groove. With this song on play, you can’t help but picture a good time!
It was in 2016 in Pretoria when I (Selomi) met Methuselah Mpofu through a friend by the name of Max De Ville. We were living in a Bedroom Studio and the situation was very challenging for us all. So as methuselah played around with the guitar, came an idea that we need GOD and started singing in Shona language which I didn’t understand but fell in love with the lyrics and how he sang. After recording the song things started looking up and we have seen change in our lives. When I went back home I listened to the song and came to a decision of giving the song a vintage sound because for me I felt like the song existed before and finally named the song MY GOD.
