“My album that I’ll be working on will convey the message of peace and unity to the masses. It will help them understand the real meaning of peace and brotherhood where all people can live together like brothers and sisters. Till date I’ve made three albums, two are gospels songs and one love songs,” said Isepung Newme, artist in NC Hills
