Joe Mettle – This Year

Joe Mettle Declares Faith and Victory on “This Year”

Joe Mettle returns with “This Year,” a worship song built on gratitude, expectation, and the kind of declarative energy that fills churches and playlists alike. True to his style, he blends contemporary gospel with Ghanaian highlife and Afro-gospel influences, creating a track that feels both spiritual and accessible.

The production is bright and uplifting. Live drums, melodic guitar lines, and a steady groove give the song momentum without overpowering the message. It opens with a calm build before moving into a chorus that’s designed for call-and-response. You can hear why it works in live settings—simple, repetitive, and easy for a crowd to pick up.

Lyrically, “This Year” is straightforward. Joe Mettle frames the new season as one of open doors, breakthrough, and divine favor. There’s no complicated theology here, just faith-driven declarations that resonate with listeners who are looking for encouragement at the start of a new cycle. His vocal delivery is confident but warm, carrying the conviction of someone who’s been in the gospel space long enough to know how to lead worship without losing authenticity.

What makes the track land is the balance between personal testimony and corporate worship. It feels like a song you can sing alone in your room and also hear a congregation lift together on Sunday.

For fans of Ghanaian gospel and anyone looking for a faith-filled anthem to start the year, “This Year” hits the mark.
