Published on July 9, 2019, Kenya's gospel reggae scene has been blessed with talented artists like J Fam, Kevoh Youth, and Guardian Angel. However, a new entrant has taken the industry by storm, and his name is Joe Tingseh.

Tingseh's journey into music began in 2007 after finishing primary school. He recorded his first song, 'Kwa Sababu,' alongside Suzeye in Form 2. After clearing high school, he collaborated with different talented producers, allowing him to feature on international gospel riddims from Kenya, Uganda, Zimbabwe, and even Jamaica.

Since the year began, Tingseh has released four songs: 'Hold a Vibe,' 'Excess Love,' 'Joyful Praise,' and 'Revival,' which premiered a few days ago. In 'Revival,' Tingseh urges people to be bold while proclaiming God's word, and the dancehall vibe makes you want to hit the replay button again and again.

The song was produced by Majic Mike and directed by Red Clarity, both of whom did a commendable job. Watch 'Revival' below and tell us what you think.
