2013 VGMA Gospel Album of the Year winner and 2013 Africa Gospel Music Awards� Artiste of the Year (West Africa), Cwesi Oteng, has dropped a brand new single, �Yesu� and is already receiving buzz for it. What has caught fans attention most is Cwesi switch to a mellow tempo composition with this new single and the highlight on his soulful vocal delivery that makes listeners tear up. Ever since the release of his mega hit tune, �God Dey Bless Me�, it�s been fast tempo hits after hits for Cwesi Oteng. Hits including �Kabiyesi�, �I Win� and �Count Your Blessings�, all of which are still receiving plaudits and have described him as a rock-gospel singer to being an Afro-pop gospel artiste. This time much to the awe of fans, Cwesi has released a mellow tune, �Yesu�. Produced by Kofi Dua Anto (Koda), the orchestra-fused song is a tribute to Jesus, highlighting the ultimate sacrifice of love on the cross to save mankind. It is a reflective mellow tune that reminds of you of the Saviour�s selfless work and urges you worship and give thanks. Easter may be many days far away but it surely looks likely to be a big tune for the coming festive season. �I know a lot of people have asked why �Yesu� because they didn�t expect me to release a song of such tempo and I tell them why not. There are so many sides to music gift and ministry which I am yet to show everyone. Thankfully, my new album coming will have loads to tell people. You are in for a treat in a couple of months. But before then it�s all about �Yesu� for now. The emphasis is on the person of Jesus and His salvation works,� Cwesi revealed. �Yesu� is the official third prelude single off Cwesi�s upcoming album after �I Win� and �Count Your Blessings� were released last year. �Yesu� shows Cwesi�s versatility as a songwriter and singer and gives hint as to the diversity of sound and musical styles fans should expect on the much talked about forthcoming album.
