Veteran gospel musician Buchi Atunowu, widely known as Buchi, has released his latest album, ‘Alive and Well’, marking a milestone in his two-decade-long career.
The album, inspired by a surreal experience in 2023 when false rumors of his death spread, reflects themes of resilience, faith, and life’s fleeting nature.
Buchi revealed that encountering his own obituary was a wake-up call, motivating him to live purposefully and channel his creativity into new music.
The album features ten tracks, blending Buchi’s signature reggae style with fresh influences, including Afrobeat and various reggae subgenres.
Notable tracks like “Bamba Do Badaide” and bonus pieces such as “Ceasefire” and “Thank You, Pastor” combine profound spiritual themes with vibrant musicality.
Buchi also collaborated with artists like Olachi and Ecstasy to enrich the album’s sound and message.
With Alive and Well, Buchi underscores his commitment to creating music that inspires spiritual connection and celebrates life’s beauty and fragility.
Despite his consistent presence in the music scene since 1999, Buchi describes this album as a refreshing chapter in his artistic journey.
