Joe Mettle Reveals HLE, Prophet Edem, Rhema Onuoha and OnceMore Six on ‘The River Vol. 1’

Joe Mettle has started pulling back the curtain on The River Vol. 1, his new live album. In a run of Instagram posts on Thursday, the worship minister named some of the ministers who feature on the project, just hours before it is due on streaming platforms.

The reveals came one after another under the hashtag #TheRiver, each with a short clip from the recording.

The features so far

First up, on Thursday morning, was track 2. Joe Mettle revealed that the song is titled “Jehovah” and features gospel singer HLE, whom he called his “dear sister”, alongside Prophet Edem Julius-Cudjoe.

Around midday he followed up with another clip, writing that his “brother” Prophet Edem “was a blessing on track 1 and 2 of the river project.”

In the afternoon he shared a clip of “Mercy”, which features worship leader Rhema Onuoha. Joe Mettle said the song has blessed him and his home, and described mercy as “the prayer you pray when you are right and when you are wrong.”

The latest post, shared on Thursday evening, revealed that OnceMore Six “blessed us” on a song titled “Yahweh”. He signed off that caption with “Few hours to go..”

When will Joe Mettle’s The River Vol. 1 be released?

The River Vol. 1 (Live) is set for release on Friday, 13 November 2026. The date is printed on the album’s cover art, and Joe Mettle has spent the week reminding fans that “this Friday we drink from the river that never runs dry.” He has also pointed fans to a pre-save link in his Instagram bio.

He has not yet posted a full tracklist, so it is not clear how many songs are on the project or whether more guests will be named before it drops. He has also not said where the live sessions were recorded. You can read more about the album announcement in our earlier story on Joe Mettle announcing The River Vol. 1.

A busy week for Joe Mettle

The River is not the only new music from Joe Mettle this week. On Thursday ghanasong.org also shared his Okokroko 2.0 featuring Kweku Teye, a fresh take on one of his best-known songs.

The live album also lands just before a busy end-of-year run of shows. Joe Mettle is among the ministers billed for Potters Praise 2026, and he was also billed for Nacee’s KAVOD 26 at the National Theatre earlier this month.

With the release only hours away, fans will soon get to hear the full project. Keep following ghanasong.org for more on The River Vol. 1 once it is out.
