The singer, who on Thursday broke a three-year sabbatical, said she had been occupied with the Bible and has also been attending to her son for the past three years.
Her return was announced with the release of a 10 track album titled Jehovha Chuvah which is now on the market.
Jehovha Chuvah, which translates to the Lord of my salvation, is the artist’s third offering following her debut project Nyasha released in 2008 and Mufaro Wangu (2011).
Marowa told Standardlife&style that she believed her new offering should earn her a place among the top gospel artistes.
“The reason I decided to take a break from music was that I had to look after my son, plus I am now a pastor,” said Marowa.
“I would like to see people growing spiritually through my music, especially this album, as I took enough time preparing it.
