Kimbi Marcel channels heaven in new single “Rbong Nyu (goodness of God)”

In a world thirsty for authenticity and spirit, Cameroonian gospel singer-songwriter Kimbi Marcel dishes out a luminous breath of fresh air with his new single “Rbong Nyu (goodness of God).” Submerged in personal testimony and cultural roots, the song is a spiritual song of God’s absolute faithfulness, sung directly from Swisbon’s soul. As a child growing up in the Northwest region of Cameroon, Kimbi Marcel’s early musical awakening occurred at the age of 8, his fingers wrapped around the shapes of traditional instruments, and his soul was infused with ancestral rhythm.

The ghost of those early days whispers loudly on “Rbong Nyu,” where pulsating African textures collide with layered vocal harmonies to form a praise anthem that is as rich in its cultural context as it is in spiritual content. Kimbi Marcel stands out in today’s gospel music scene with a rare flair for writing, composing, and singing in Limbum, English, and French that interlaced to form a potpourri of God’s grace, which knows no boundary. “Rbong Nyu,” is sung largely in Limbum, a reminder of his origins, but its message of hope, thankfulness, and unshakeable faith has broad appeal. Kimbi has remained committed to using music to convey a truth and inspire. On “Rbong Nyu,” he delves even deeper for the joy that reminds people, wherever they come from and whatever language they speak, that God’s goodness remains unwavering.

The song glides with ease and elegance, a tribute to Kimbi’s years of dedication to his craft. From the warm instrumentation that feels like home, to the slow rise of his vocals that beckon you into contemplation, “Rbong Nyu” is an offering to God and us. If you’ve been searching for a gospel song that feels grounded and achingly real, “Rbong Nyu (goodness of God)” is that song. With this release, Kimbi Marcel reminds us of the power of praise and also reminds us of the beauty in cultural identity when it comes to worship.
