Michael Danso set to realease ‘He Never Fails’
Songwriter and Gospel Musician, Michael Danso, is set to release a new single titled “He Never Fails”, September 1, this year.
The inspirational song, which features award-winning artiste Joe Mettle, is to reinforce the message about the presence of God at all times.
Michael, Speaking to The Spectator, said the song is a “ballad of his life” meant to reassure listeners that divine intervention is possible especially at crucial moments.
He recalled instances where the Lord had, and continues, help him sail through turbulent tides. Typical among the experiences was when he survived a life-threatening surgery while in secondary school.
This encounter, he noted, led him to take up gospel music to “fulfill his covenant with God.”
“The timely intervention of God at different instances had manifested in my life and that is why I know God never fails,” he said.
‘He Never Fails’ is Michael’s seventh single since he started music three years ago. The single is a prelude to his upcoming 10-track album titled “Divine Flavour” to be released later in November this year.
The budding artiste has collaborations with Koda and Ecos of Victory Choir, and has so far received positive feedback for his compositions.
Michael said the latest song “is to give his followers a banger to jam along during live performances.”
He encouraged up and coming artistes to keep going beyond their limits and urged the public to support gospel music just as they do for secular acts.
