Artists/DJ: Deborah Fraser
Album Title: Live
Genre: Gospel
Year of Release: 2009
Gospel music is a genre that requires more than just having a great voice. As a gospel artist, one needs to be able to jot down lyrics and sing songs that show a passion for the word of God. This also requires a little bit of creativity and the ability to visualise how the song can potentially touch peoples’ souls.
Deborah Fraser latest album is a live recording which showcases her singing, voice control and song writing ability.
One thing that really stands out is the use of live instruments. Gospel music is a genre that heavily relies on live instruments, so it is vital that those in charge of playing such instruments are fully equipped with unique skills so that they can craft the songs as a unique composition.
There are several laid-back song to listen to on this album including ‘Uma Kungenxa’, ‘Umoya Wami’ and ‘Nsndi Le Nqola’. Complimenting these songs are also up tempo compositions, ‘Thapelo’, ‘Susa Lomthwalo’ and ‘Hamba We Sathane’ that will fuel you to showcase your dancing moves.
As with her previous releases, Deborah does not disappoint in showing off her vocal chords with style. She smoothly swings her voice from note to note, fitting in perfectly to the music. Along the way she gets her band members to take the lead on a few songs only coming in to compliment what has been built.
This is a nice release that just fits in any day and time. Before you pray, listen to this album. Deborah’s live recording should be enough to help you gather strength to talk to God.

Babe theni abafundisi call 0760312359 ungitshele ukuthi bekuthini

To me Deborah is an epitome of courage in every sense, not sounding like anyone and as we know that South African Gospel has taken a particular shape and that puts a challenge to new artists in breaking into the market, however Deborah, came and conquered the market to a point where she’s now the household name. She’s a good example to up and coming artists to remain original and believe in your content until you are established.

We just want to say that your music leada us straight to the throne room of God, gives us the heart to worship so effortlessly and the ability to be broken so shamelessly before the Lord-If only we could access the lyrics, we could learn to sing along to your song and be blessed even more. You are blessed.

Mam Debs I realy love your music and I ve got all your DVD bt there is one thing that dont make me feel gud. If I watch all your dvd there are reapiting the same song eg udlalile ngabantu, abanye bayombona, nansi lenqola etc. But I know you have nice song except those one…like lubohlungu, uphi umhlobo, phezukwentaba, uyayzi indlela, gilloria, ngeke ngaziqeda nazo zimnand ziyadida ungake uzfake nazo.

August 24th, 2010 at 2:17 pm
Hi Sister Deborah. You are one the best gifts to gospel music and christianity. Thank you for being a blessing to me through your music.My wife and I love “Music of your heart” which is used as signature tune for ONE GOSPEL. Kind let me know how I can buy the CD,VCD OR DVD on internet.

You are a hero to all women in earth
You are the mother to the motherless
For your voice comforts the bleeding harts
For your voice wipes away the tears of the lost soul
Your voice gives power to the lost soldier of God to fight again
Your voice give hope the lost
you are my inspiration
You are the mirror of my future
