Doing English Songs An Advantage – Celestine Donkor

Gospel musician, Celestine Donkor talks about language in gospel music. Moreover, according to her doing English songs is an advantage to an artiste.

According to her, a Gospel musician who sings in English is most likely to go international than with the local language.

“Although it is good to sing in your local language, it is better to sing in English because a lot of people can understand what you are saying and appreciate you more” 

Furthermore, she stated that English is a common mode of communication in many countries. Therefore, a musician who sings in English is likely to get more gigs abroad

She made tthese statements in an interview with Showbiz. According to her, she came to this realisation when she travelled to Kenya to promote her latest song, Bigger.

“Although a lot of people were in love with my songs, it was difficult for them to relate to them because they didn’t understand the language” 

Therefore, she plans to do more English songs to attract collaborations from other great musicians from outside Ghana.

“I have been to Nigeria, Kenya and USA promoting my new single Bigger and getting up close with my fans. The love I was shown was awesome” 

“I want my work to speak for itself. I don’t want to move from one radio station to the other telling Ghanaians what I’m doing but I want to allow my work to do the talking” 

Aligning yourselves with Political parties will ruin your careers- Lenny Akpadie

Gospel musician, Reverend Lenny Akpadie cautions Ghanaian musicians. According to him, they must not be involved in politics especially during election years.

Moreover, according to him, it looks lucrative at the time. However, it goes along to affect these musicians negatively in the future.

He further recounted his experience with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in December, 2008. Rev. Akpadie said that selling his hit song “Most High” to the NDC, was a big mistake that he regrets.

I gave my song to NDC for a year and they gave me GHC 7,500 even though I never performed at any of the NDC’s functions. The party wanted me to take to their platforms but I refused. I can say for sure that musicians who are in the limelight and associate themselves with political parties will suffer for it” 

Also, he added people tagged him as NDC during the process which went along to affect most of his business deals. His marriage almost collapsed as well.

I was so tired and so dizzy.”

Nana Addo’s Government Not Living Up To Expectation – Lydia Forson

Outspoken actress Lydia Forson has shared her views on the current state of Ghana’s economy.

The actress has disclosed that she is not impressed with the general performance of the current government.

According to the multiple awards-winning actress, the government led by President

Nana Akufo-Addo, has failed to deliver on its promises.

When host of Hall of Fame on Citi TV, AJ Sarpong asked if the government ticks all her boxes,

she answered in the negative.

“No, absolutely not,” she said.

Expatiating her reasons however she noted;“you know when they won the election I wrote a piece, it was supposed to feature in the New African Woman. I said that you know what, they were setting themselves up for failure.”

According to Lydia, she refuses to completely discredit the President or completely give

up because if Ghana does well it benefits everybody.

However, she thinks the government was arrogant about their promises prior the the 2016 elections.

“My article was based on their social media promises. They wanted to win by any means necessary. But I think when you have been in opposition for a very long time you forget what is like to be the head that wears the crown. So maybe any other party government may not be frustrated as we are. Maybe things take time to pick up,” she told AJ.

“But because of all the promises they made and the boldness with which they made them. They were almost arrogant about their promises,” she intimated.

Miss Forson finally noted that the New Patriotic Party (NPP)probably were doing old

school politics during the 2016 elections.

She said even though she was not surprised at the turn of events she is expecting that the

government does exactly what it promises with the timeliness.

Lydia has been very vocal on varied issues concerning humanity.
