Empress Gifty is not worried about comments that she sounds like Kuami Eugene on her latest track, 'Watch Me'.
While some have suggested the gospel minstrel's vocal delivery and voice texture bear strong likeness to Kuami Eugene's, Empress believes there is nothing wrong with that.
When she played guest to aKorfa on Joy FM's 'Ignition', she said it was deliberate for her to sound like Eugene on the record.
"Kuami Eugene did not sing anything in that song. It's because I recorded in Kuami Eugene's studio and Kuami Eugene had everything, he had already composed everything. He has the template when it comes to him.
So I said I didn't want to sound like Empress. I wanted something different. So I did the backing, I did everything," she told aKorfa.
She added that Kuami directed the whole recording process and she was humble to listen to him "because he carries something and if you want to tap into somebody's blessing you need to humble yourself."
When asked if it doesn't take anything away from her, she replied: "nothing! I am here. That is 'Watch Me'. I am here talking about 'Watch Me' so it doesn't take anything. The most important thing is that Kuami wrote the song and I delivered," she said.
'Watch Me', a gospel song delivered in highlife vein talks about the power of God to change unpleasant situations in people's lives.
It was written, arranged and produced by Kuami Eugene.
