Kocha opens the mix with Frank Edward’s up-tempo praise anthems, featuring driving bass lines and crowd-chanting hooks designed to raise energy.

The drums soften, the tempo slows, and Frank Edward’s voice becomes more vulnerable as songs like "Nifundishe" (Teach Me) take over.

It has democratized worship, allowing the anointing of Frank Edward to reach corners of the world the singer himself may never visit.

Lyrically, Frank Edward avoids the prosperity-gospel clichés that plague modern Christian music. Instead, his songs are grounded in the Psalms.
