Blessing Annatoria Chitapa, more popularly known as Annatoria, is known for the unique way in which she fuses her gospel songs with R&B, pop, and Afrobeat. Her latest EP, “Present Jesu,” features all the aforementioned musical styles and is a testament to the fact that Annatoria is successfully carving out a niche within the industry.

On the five-track project shared on November 15, the Zimbabwe-born singer skillfully reimagines five well-known Christmas carols: “Go Tell It On The Mountain,” “Hark Now Hear,” “Joy To The World,” “This Christmas,” and “All I Want.”

The release of the EP was followed by the premiere of the official video for “Go Tell It On The Mountain” on YouTube. If you have not yet seen it, click here or on the image above to check it out, and remember to like, comment, and share.
