“I have looked up to Daddy Owen since the release of “Tobiko” and I was humbled yet thrilled to work with him. It has been a truly amazing experience,” she told nation.co.ke.
The song which is a conversation between Noushka and Owen is a testimony that God is faithful and answers prayer. The song opens with Owen posing what she did to get blessed as his prayers didn’t seem to bring him results fast enough. She owns the song as she answers that it took diligent prayers and encourages him not to give up.
The collaboration comes barely three months since her first single 'Mungu Wangu' which is currently receiving massive airplay.
Noushka who has always loved singing since her primary school days now has two gospel singles to her credit. Both feature uplifting and encouraging messages drawn from her personal experience which features a tragic past.
“I was born in Kenya to a Congolese mom. We moved back to Congo while I was still a baby and at the age of five, my mom passed away leaving me in the care of my grandmother. She struggled to raise me and get me an education and managed to see me through high school,” she says.
The fresh-faced artiste who is signed to the Maliza Umaskini label says the video for the song produced by Teddy B is in the pipeline.
