Vibrant words, a catchy tune which reverberates with a cool rhythmic beat; complemented by rich, colourful scenes and an inspiring storyline, Jo-Ann Faith Richards captivates with her new music video for 'Notn no De', an inspirational song encouraging faith in God and His omnipotence.

The song comes from her Kom Mek Wi Worship album, which she hopes will motivate Jamaicans to celebrate and worship in their heart language. Notn no De is based on Luke 1:37, and was composed just three weeks before the album was released. It speaks of God who 'part di Red Sea, set all di captive dem free, send Him Son through di Virgin Mary'; showing God's power to master a myriad of circumstances, which to humans would seem inconceivable and impossible.

The music video, launched Monday at Calvary Gospel Assembly, corner of Molynes Road and Sundown Crescent, St Andrew, takes viewers on a musical journey, a self-assured walk with faith. The video features a parallel story of a professor who insists that there is no God. Viewers are pulled into that narrative while watching the vibrant scenes shot in different locations in Kingston and St Andrew and listening to the addictive melody line.

Richards said the songs on Kom Mek Wi Worship were written over a six-year period, each originating from a distinctive experience. The inspiration came while she was serving as a missionary ethnomusicologist with Wycliffe Bible Translators, first in West Africa, and later in Central and South America. As she worked with village church musicians, helping them to write new songs for church using their own languages and their own music forms, it dawned on her that her own home country did not have what she was helping other cultures to develop.

As such, Kom Mek Wi Worship was born. The album is a collection of 12 Scripture-based songs in the Jamaican Creole (Patwa), with a fusion of indigenous Jamaican music genres and styles, including reggae, dancehall, rock steady, one drop, nyabinghi and mento.
