'No More Sorrow' is a soul-lifting song in which Majek prophesies about Eldorado, a future where humanity lives in peace and harmony.

2face continues what has been a prolific second half of 2016 with another new release. This time he blends with music legend, Majek Fashek, for ‘No more sorrow’.

This song is a re-worked version of Majek’s 90s hit track ‘Holy Spirit’ from the 1991 “Spirit of Love” album. The duo reintroduces the classic song to a new generation of music enthusiasts via this updated version produced by Majek and mixed/mastered by Wole Oni.

'No more sorrow' is a soul-lifting song in which Majek prophesies about Eldorado, a future where humanity lives in peace and harmony. With lyrics heavily inspired by Biblical scriptures, Majek and 2Baba, two of the most critically acclaimed African performers of the last quarter of a century serve a message of hope to a world grappling with strife and seemingly unending crises.

2Baba who has repeatedly listed Majek Fashek as one of his biggest influences shines effortlessly beside the returning reggae legend on a song he has identified as one of his favourite Majek classics. He stated, “It's an honour to collaborate with one of Africa's greatest musicians of all time. To go from admiring him from a distance to actually having the opportunity to record with him and contribute to his legacy is something I cherish”.

Majek Fashek remains a strong force to reckon with in music as seen by his headline-grabbing performances at notable events this year. With the GistMe-funded release, ‘No more sorrow’ marks the formal return to the buzzing recording scene for the legendary 'Rain Maker' as he is fondly called by fans all over the globe.

You need to hear this because of the message, feelings of nostalgia that this brings, and the symbolic collaboration of two legends.
