After two years of meticulous work and five re-recordings to perfect its message, fast-rising Afrobeats artist Bustwize unveils his uplifting new single, “Jesus Peace.” Inspired by Matthew 6:26-27, where Christ encourages faith over fear, “Jesus Peace” addresses the universal struggle of overcoming doubt and staying true to one’s dreams. Produced by Majidkillz, this soul-stirring track reassures listeners that despite life’s challenges, God’s plan is at work, building strength and resilience in everyone. Bustwize’s heartfelt vocals and powerful lyrics underscore the belief that faith and perseverance lead to great things.
“Matthew 6:26-27 means a lot to me,” says Bustwize. “When I read that scripture, I felt it was directed to me, encouraging me not to be afraid or anxious about life’s challenges. God always provides a way. Many people are so down they don’t believe there’s a God anymore. I wrote this song for those on the verge of giving up, reminding them we’re all running a race and there’s a finish line. We need to get our confidence back.”
“Jesus Peace” is Bustwize’s second single of the year, following his captivating hit “Ye Ye” featuring Lil5ive.
