Blantyre, February 25, Mana: Gospel artist, Chifundo Meleka is set to launch her second album titled "Nthawi ya Yehova" in June this year.

In an interview with Malawi News Agency (Mana), on Tuesday, Meleka explained that the new album has ten tracks; among them are "Nthawi ya Yehova," "Bwenzi langa," "Sangamake," "Wabwino," and "Chimwemwe."

According to the gospel artist, the album project will be completed in March this year, followed by its launch on June 1.

"People should expect to be encouraged and blessed through this album," she said.

Production of the new album involved one producer, Steve Meleka, who also happens to be the artist's husband.

Musicians Union of Malawi (MUM), President, Vita Chirwa, said Meleka’s album symbolises that the music industry in Malawi is growing stronger and stronger.

"Artists in Malawi are doing great. They have improved in many areas, and the music coming out of Malawi is now very sweet, well-cooked, well-presented, well-arranged, and well-marketed. It's a step in the right direction.

I haven't yet listened to Chifundo Meleka's new album, but I am confident it's going to be a wonderful work of art.”

“Chifundo needs all our support for her music career to reach greater heights," he said.

The gospel artist produced her first album, titled "Mwayenera," in 2015.
