Buju BNXN – In Jesus Name (ft. Soweto Gospel Choir)

Buju BNXN Releases New Single “In Jesus Name” Featuring the Soweto Gospel Choir

Buju BNXN has a new single out, and the billing alone makes it worth a second look. The record is titled In Jesus Name, and it features South Africa’s Soweto Gospel Choir, placing one of Nigeria’s most dependable Afrobeats voices next to one of the continent’s most storied choral institutions. That is not a routine feature credit. It is a pairing that stretches across regions, traditions and generations of African music, and it says something about where BNXN is willing to take his catalogue.

BNXN’s lane is well established by now. Over the past few years he has been one of the most consistent names in Afrobeats, a melody-first artist whose value shows up in his solo work and in the sheer volume of features he has elevated. He is rarely far from a strong release, and this drop keeps that run moving while pointing it somewhere new.

A Nigerian Hitmaker Meets a South African Institution

The Soweto Gospel Choir brings a different kind of weight. The group carries decades of stature in South African music and a reputation that travels well beyond the continent. For a Nigerian pop artist to reach toward that gospel tradition, rather than another chart-facing feature, is a deliberate choice. It links Afrobeats’ commercial engine in the west with the choral heritage of the south, and it gives the song a cross-continental frame before a single note is heard.

The title makes the intent plain. Faith-leaning Afrobeats has a devoted and often underserved audience, and a record aimed squarely at that space, with a choir of this standing attached, will draw listeners from two directions at once: BNXN’s core fanbase and the gospel and choral followers who already know the choir’s name.

Where a Faith-Leaning BNXN Record Fits

Expect this one to be built for Sunday-morning playlists, gratitude-themed rotations and the quieter, reflective end of the Afrobeats spectrum, while still sitting naturally beside BNXN’s mainstream material. Those two worlds overlap more than programming often admits, and a track carrying both of these names has a clear path into each.

For BNXN, the takeaway is simple: he keeps finding new rooms to work in. A collaboration with the Soweto Gospel Choir widens the map of what his discography covers, and it adds a distinctive entry to a year in which he has stayed busy. However the song lands with listeners, the ambition behind it is already on record.
