Singer and dancer Sandra Ndebele, known in some circles as one of the most controversial artists ever to emerge from the Matabeleland region, has bounced back, this time with a bit of gospel flair on her latest offering 'No Matter Wat'.
The Seventh Day Adventist devotee stunned guests who attended the launch of her sixth album titled 'No Matter What', when she featured fast growing accapella outfit Conquerors Seven in some of her tracks. Clad in a red designer dress, Sandra signaled her entrance with an SDA chorus, Bonga. She continued to play other hymns that include "Usathane Upheth'izembe".
In an interview, Sandra said besides being a secular musician, she was a devout Christian and a member of SDA church.
"I love singing. I love singing secular music, but that does not make me less holy that the next person. I love God too but singing is my full time job. The new album is ideally made to suit all types of audiences so you will notice that it has gospel and urban tracks so that the whole family can listen to it," said the extremely flexible dancer.
Sandra said some of her gospel tracks were from the Seventh Day Adventist Church as it was the church that she was born and bred in. Interestingly, Sandy, as she is affectionately called by her fans, has declared that 2013 is her year of resurrection.
After belting out her gospel tracks, Sandra did what she is famed fer, her energy sapping shake and swirl gyrations. As if that was not enough, Sandra went on to perform her split dance that many doubted she was still able to do.
