The distinctive album is marked by catchy Afro fusion with contemporary grooves which have both a soothing and uplifting effect on the listener.
Following on the success of the album, Andy has released a video of “Welcome,” one of the tracks on the album.

Upon changing his character, he blesses the Holy Spirit with a lovely portrait painting. The song exhorts Christians to forsake the ways of the world and depend solely on God for their sustenance.
