Dynamic gospel minister Believe Joseph has teamed up with multiple-award-winning worship leader Mercy Chinwo for the release of their soul-lifting new single “Imela,” now available on all major digital streaming platforms worldwide.
“Imela” – Igbo for “You Have Done Well” or “Thank You” – is a deeply moving song of thanksgiving that magnifies God’s faithfulness, mercy, and marvelous works. The four-minute track opens with gentle piano and atmospheric pads before building into a rich, congregational worship experience as Believe Joseph’s warm, resonant vocals blend seamlessly with Mercy Chinwo’s unmistakable anointed timbre. The repetitive, declarative chorus – “Imela o, Imela / For all You’ve done for me, oh Jesus” – is crafted for instant sing-along participation in churches, prayer meetings, and personal devotion.
The collaboration, which believers have eagerly anticipated since teaser posts appeared in late October, was birthed from a shared burden to release a simple yet profound sound of gratitude. Believe Joseph shares:
“Ministering alongside Mercy Chinwo is a divine privilege. ‘Imela’ is not just a song; it is a testimony. Every line comes from a place of genuine awe at how good God has been, even in valleys and on mountains. We pray it helps people lift their voices in sincere thanks again.”
Mercy Chinwo, still riding the wave of her globally celebrated catalogue including “Excess Love,” “Obinasom,” and “Wonder,” adds:
“I am always honoured when the Lord connects me with brethren who carry authentic fire. ‘Imela’ is pure worship – no performance, just thanksgiving. I believe this sound will travel far and draw many hearts closer to Jesus.”
Produced with crisp contemporary instrumentation yet rooted in African gospel rhythms, “Imela” carries the signature excellence of GNT Nation and is distributed globally by MAD Solutions LLC. The official music video, directed with vibrant cinematic visuals of everyday Nigerians offering praise, premiered on YouTube on November 7 and has already garnered hundreds of thousands of views as testimonies pour in from listeners across Africa, Europe, and the Americas.
