'The album has eight tracks and since it will be recorded live, I am going to do my best to impress my fans out there,' said Pastor Molf who is a praise and worship leader of note and a music tutor at several churches in Gaborone.The artist is going to be backed by a four-piece band and three backing vocalists, among them Kgomotso Wendie.

Some of the tracks in the envisaged album include Ka Jeno Re Batho, Oh Lord My God, Lord I Believe and Re ya gae Jerusalema and the artist said the album is going to cater for both the young and the old.Gaolatlhe further said that some of the acts expected to support him at the event include Mathews Matsetse, Masego Motswiri, Kabelo Eric and Matheke Leteane. Soon after the recording, the artist plans to release both the CD and DVD of the album.With the live recording of his album, Pastor Molf will be one of the few Batswana gospel artists to record a live album, which is taxing as is not only time-consuming but also expensive.  Of late, artists like Matsetse and Ernest Seakgosing record their albums live.

Asked why he chose to take the live recording route, the artist said, 'Live recording demands that you dish out the best of you and you are also bound to offer the real you with the encouragement of a live audience. Although it is expensive to record live, I really wanted to offer my fans a package that they will value for a long time,' he said.He further explained that nowadays, Botswana studios are able to undertake live recordings and that normally it would cost an artist over P50,000 to record a live album.Pastor Molf has released three albums so far namely Pastor Molf Sings Gospel, Ya Eba Sone Setlhare and Exploration Of God's Heart. He has been a veteran praise and worship leader at the True Bread Centre in Gaborone and Heavenly Garrison in Palapye.
