There is excitement in Uganda’s music fraternity after the first single from the highly anticipated #SwangzAllStarAlbum finally dropped. Titled “God Ye Buddy,” the powerful gospel track parades a grand lineup of some of Uganda’s finest acts, including Levixone, Azawi, Vinka, Elijah Kitaka, Zafaran, and Winnie Nwagi. Coined by talented Bangar Boi and mixed by Steve Keys, the song is a fine blend of voices and faith.
“God Ye Buddy” is not just a song; it’s a blessed celebration of faith, friendship, and enduring divine love. The artists together create a united message that touches the heart: God is not only a guide but also a best friend who has always been standing by us through thick and thin. Hope and Thanksgiving, amongst many overwhelming themes in this track, touch hearts and make people ponder over their spiritual journeys.
The music video was shot by the director Marvin Musoke at Munyonyo Martyrs Shrine Church due to the serenity and sacral atmosphere it recreates. These visuals enhance the uplifting message of the song with the artists performing in an environment that amplifies the spiritual element of the song.
In the video, the artists are attired in white robes, symbolizing something about sanctity and purity. Such pristine styling further channels the messages of the song, tending to be a phenomenal sight to behold. The intense imagery with evocative performances makes “God Ye Buddy” a treat for anyone who loves to watch.
“God Ye Buddy” acts as an appetizer to the #SwangzAllStarAlbum due for release in October 2024. Born out of the Swangz Creative Camp in Zanzibar, the album promises to be a landmark for Ugandan music in its diverse gathering of East African talent and enormous size in genre. An exclusive album listening event merged with a public release party in one will make this a highly awaited event amongst any that love good music.
The Swangz All Star Album will be giving Ugandan music a new face with the introduction of new artists, their collaborations, and celebration of the best talent in the region. With such tracks as “God Ye Buddy,” the album is bound to strike all the right chords around Uganda and beyond the confines of East African music.
And even as the full album is highly anticipated, fans can listen to and stay on the plus side of “God Ye Buddy,” a song that really speaks about the joy and strength found in faith and community.
