Ghanaian gospel music diva, Empress Gifty has hit the ground running for 2023 with a new single dubbed 'Awieye Pa'.

The song which is her first single for the year, is taken off her album expected to be released before the end of the year.

Empress Gifty revealed that the song which was written by her colleague, Ewura Abena was inspired by the words in Jeremiah 29:11: “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”  

The song preaches a message of motivation that one's beginning may look troubled, however, with trust in God, the end will look brighter.

In 'Awieye Pa', the multiple award-winner encourages people not to allow themselves to be troubled by what others do or say because their destiny is in the hands of God and not humans.

It is available on YouTube and all streaming platforms.

'Awieye Pa' was recorded, mixed and mastered by renowned producer, Shadrach Yawson.

Other contributors on the song are Dominic Quarchie on lead guitar, TMC, Tasha and Nana Yaa on backing vocals, and Dan Grahl on bass guitar. 

Emmanuel Bludo handled the drums, with Shadrach Yawson on the keyboards. Kuuku Ansong played the horns.

The production work was done at the Wavebox Studio, at Kwashieman in Accra.
