Noted started with an idea back in 2008 at a pathfinder camp. there was a trio of girls and a quartet of boys from the same church(SDA) in uitenhage. driven by their love for music they started experimenting by combining both groups to create a sound foreign to them. the idea was temporal but after receiving positive feedback they decided to keep the group and performed under the name Beginnings. as the years went by they decided to change the name to a more meaningful name…NOTED… “what we sing about can’t go unnoticed,the message of Christ’s soon return is to be NOTED”
This week they to number 1 on the gospel chat with their debut album “Take your time”. The album consists of 13 songs, the album was released on the 28th of February just at the end of the month of Love and it took them just a week to get to number one for new music release.
The chat is on a tight race as the number one top chat accapella group is followed by another popular group of Abathandwa. a cappella. [(ah kuh-pel-uh)] Choral singing performed without instruments. The expression means “in chapel style” in Italian. Centuries ago, religious music composed for use in chapels — which, unlike large churches, had no organs — was usually for voices only.
In South Africa now most of the accapella music group have made a path way for themselves in the gospel industry and taking the lead to be recognized as good and blessed music. The South African gospel music industry is growing and genres inside the gospel is slowly but surely opening up to new taste and new rhythms. The likes of Siyakha Khitha, Bheka Mthetha and Mnqobi Nxumalo have showed us an integration of Jazz music within Gospel music. The group Noted have given us a different taste of gospel with the accapella melody which makes this group very unique and that is the reason why it went to number 1 on the chats
