AfroGospel artiste Munachi is out with a new album. He aptly titled this one “The Special Tape (TST).”

Available today on Distro and hard copies, Munachi says he finished the project on the album and God named it.

Munachi’s sound is definitely growing and covering mileage as an artiste. “The Special Tape” is a compilation of a more mature sound than you have ever heard the AfroGospel artiste.

“I’m not here to be served, I’m here to serve God and those He put in my part with this gift He gave me. I’m not the best at it yet, but creating this album, I’ve realised that I’m not where I used to be. I’m growing, and this album is the evidence. All songs on this album were carefully curated by GOD and I, and trust me when I tell you it’s nothing like what you’ve heard before, It’s SPECIAL!” Munachi says.

Guest appearances on the album include Pastor Emma Ubah and AfroGospel star Nolly.

“The Special Tape” will have you lifting holy hands, dancing and feeling Hip at the same time as Munachi contributes yet another quota in filling the gap between ministry and entertainment while turning many to Christ, instead of opting for the perverse alternative that is flying all across the media.

When asked if he can describe the album in a few words, AfroGospel artiste Munachi said it is “smooth, graceful with creative excellence!”

Inventive rock duo Adamic has released their self-titled album Adamic, produced by Disciple’s Andrew Stanton. The 11-track project is a collection of new songs and re-recorded updates of older pieces.

“Making this record has been a literal dream come true,” says guitarist Josiah Pletch. “Andrew Stanton really brought out the very best in us. I remember at times when we would hit a creative wall, he would offer a suggestion or idea that we would never think of otherwise. We also got to record the drums at Off the Wall studio with Lester Estelle [Pillar, Kelly Clarkson] engineering the sessions.”

Vocalist and drummer Ian Swaby adds, “We never clashed or debated with Andrew on what each song should be. He let us make odd choices and long songs, and I think the record is special because of it. His method and approach to our music was ideal in that he simply breathed life into our rough designs and let us be ‘weird.’”

The resulting songs are meaningful and complex. The opening track “Solid As Solid Gets” presents fresh rock-and-roll with grunge touches while exploring the duality of mental health.

“The idea of someone having 2 souls jumped at me, so I used that as a springboard to speak about mental health and this hope of the two opposites in me being married. I have often felt torn in two internally, and it’s taken a great many years for that to heal and become whole,” Ian Swaby explains. “There’s a lot of language used to describe metalworking in there too. I felt like that was the best way to describe the intensity of being welded back together.”

“Heather” shows off Ian and Josiah’s musical chemistry, the result of a friendship formed when the musicians were just 5 years old. The alternative rock track showcases glassy-smooth vocals from Ian, who calls the song his favorite of the band’s catalog. “All of A Sudden” offers lyrics about catalytic moments in life, framed by full-bodied riffs from Josiah.

In addition to Ian Swaby, Josiah Pletch, and Andrew Stanton, Adamic’s musical cast was rounded out with mixing by Matt Arcaini and mastering by Sam Moses. The ultimate result is a relaunching of Adamic into the world with a cohesive sound that fully establishes their identity.

“I want people to take away a feeling of hope from this record,” Ian reflects. “We’d been through a lot in the years leading up to this record, so looking back, I was trying to process all of that and find the light. We never want to leave the listener feeling ‘low’ after a song, but rather like they’ve had an experience that ended in light, just like we had after our numerous valleys.

I also want people to feel the confidence and the courage to be unabashedly themselves. We didn’t compromise any of our sound or ideas for this record, and I believe that’s what sets it apart.”

Curb | Word Entertainment recording artist Blanca continues her personal journey of self-discovery with the release of the deluxe edition of her acclaimed, introspective album, The Heartbreak And The Healing, out today (9/29).

Along with the LP’s 13 initial songs, the expanded version features two brand new originals (“If It Ain’t You” and “Tell ‘Em It Was You”) as well as an array of remixes, collaborations, and recent renditions of “The Healing” in both Spanish and Portuguese.

Now totaling 22 tracks, The Heartbreak And The Healing (Deluxe Edition) curates a mix of unreleased selections and previous singles into a succinct multilingual playlist that completes one chapter and positions Blanca for the start of her next empowering era.

“This new album is really just my journal in a sense. It’s songs of the journey I’ve been on after going through a divorce. I think sometimes the best way to describe it is the juxtaposition of pain and praise happening in one moment.

That’s what I wanted to bring with this album,” the songstress shares. “It’s how you can have heartbreak, but how you can also experience healing from that place. I sing songs about the hard stuff, but I also have songs on there that speak on redemption and the awakening of finding myself and finding my voice. So I wanted it to be real.”

The Heartbreak And The Healing (Deluxe Edition), Blanca’s third full-length effort, offers two sides of the same story — the hurt and the redemption. The singer and songwriter vulnerably cracks her heart wide open on the fresh collection that beautifully showcases the merger of her unstoppable voice and her transparent lyricism.
