Awurama thanks God with 'Aseda'

God saved her husband from death some time ago and to show appreciation, gospel musician, Awurama, is thanking God with her debut single, Aseda.

Scheduled to be launched coming Sunday, April 24, at the Harvest Chapel, East Legon, near the American House, Aseda is one of the songs off Awurama’s eight-track album, Mempaba, which would be released in three months.  

The launch which will be emceed by Fiifi Folson of Sunny FM will feature artistes such as SP Sarpong, Bismark Takyi, Pastor David among others. It wil be preceded by a donation to the Nungua Orphanage today, Awurama’s birthday.

Produced by JMORG and recorded by JMORG Studios, Aseda which features William Morgan, an international gospel artiste and Awurama’s music director at her church, is a mid-tempo song rendered in Twi.

Awurama who is also an event planner and caterer tells the world that God deserves all the glory and praise because He delivered her from tragedies and misfortunes. She, therefore ,promises to give her all to glorify Him.

Morgan comes in after the chorus to thank God for delivering him from temptations and for the blessings of being alive; hence, his resolve to praise and thank God always.

Awurama’s silky voice, coupled with Morgan’s bass presence and the choral background of the song makes it an interesting piece in the listener’s ears. 

A degree holder in Network Engineering from NIIT, Awurama aka Awurama Yorklyn Bonsu, told Showbiz, ‘‘My husband got very ill and at a point, we lost hope. But he’s alive today, and because of that, my family and I want to thank God for how far He has brought us.” 

Awurama thinks that gospel music in Ghana needs to improve in the area of content and instrumentation.

‘‘Our lyrics must be scriptural and spirit filled so that the purpose of gospel music; healing the sick and giving hope to the hopeless, will be fulfilled. I think people should listen to me because I do live recordings and have very good sounds ’’, she said.
