    Kenyan gospel mainstay Guardian Angel, born Audiphaxad Peter Omwaka, has officially released his latest studio project, a five-track EP titled Favour. Known across East Africa as the “Music Doctor,” the singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist continues his exploration of Gospel Reggae, Dancehall, and Afro-rap through a collection centered on faith-driven narratives.

    Distributed via ONErpm, the EP serves as a thematic roadmap through gratitude, worship, and emotional restoration. The project opens with its title track, "Favour," which establishes a reflective tone regarding daily providence. Speaking on the inspiration behind the lead song, Guardian Angel notes the importance of acknowledging consistent blessings.

    “Every day I see reasons to thank God, even in the small things,” he says.

    The tracklist transitions into deeper emotional territory with "Kupendwa," a song specifically written to address healing following periods of emotional pain. By focusing on the concept of unconditional love, the track offers comfort through the lyrical refrain of “Raha ya kupendwa.” This is followed by "Unastahili," a moment of traditional worship and surrender that acknowledges restoration after surviving difficult circumstances.

    A Message of Global Unity

    Beyond personal testimony, Guardian Angel utilizes the track "Love" to address broader social issues. The song acts as a response to global division and conflict, calling for kindness and forgiveness across different backgrounds. The EP concludes with "AmeKuona," a track designed to offer reassurance to listeners facing hardship. The song speaks directly to those feeling forgotten, emphasizing that they remain seen despite their struggles.

    Throughout his career, Guardian Angel has maintained a reputation for delivering uplifting lyrics that resonate with listeners seeking encouragement. Favour reinforces this connection, blending rhythmic diversity with a singular focus on spiritual assurance.
