On Saturday, March 1, Ghanaian gospel musician Joseph Matthew, who is residing in the UK, released his most recent track, Love in You.
The song’s lyrics, however, have drawn criticism, with some questioned if they are consistent with the ideals of traditional gospel music.
Singing of his undying dedication to Maabena, whose unconditional love has captivated him, Joseph Matthew gives his everything.
Despite the difficulties that could jeopardize their relationship, he promises to do everything in his power to show her how much he loves and cares for her.
The sincere lyrics and calming melody of the mid-tempo reggae song transport listeners to the lovely tale of love between two souls.
In spite of this, Joseph Matthew insists that his latest album is grounded in his gospel music concept.
During an interview with Graphic Showbiz, Joseph Matthew refuted any notion that he wasn’t dedicated to making music that uplifts and inspires.
His songs, including Halleluyah, Nyame Ye, My Story, Not Alone, and The Name, have inspired, uplifted, and delighted innumerable listeners both domestically and abroad over the years.
I’m still doing gospel music. I hate to say it, but the most critical individuals are religious, especially Christians. We have a tendency to quickly distance ourselves from those who do not share our values, views, or lifestyle.
Christ is the ultimate example of love, and love in You is all about love. We know what love is because, as stated in 1 John 3:16, Jesus Christ gave his life for us. I’m merely elaborating on this in my song.
According to him, “it’s also dedicated to that special someone which everyone has in their lives.”
Joseph Matthew has been working in the UK, but he is still making good progress at home.
Joseph gave a performance at the Tema Praise Street event in December of last year and was brave enough to conduct his first concert in the Perez Dome in 2022.
Rap, modern highlife, and what he describes as neotonic Afrobeats are all incorporated into his style.
