Ghanaian gospel luminary, Obaapa Christy, advocates for the remuneration of gospel musicians, highlighting the financial intricacies involved in production and event execution. Emphasizing the financial responsibilities shared by gospel and secular artists, she contends that relying solely on goodwill expressions like "God Bless You" is unsustainable. Obaapa Christy underscores the necessity of fair compensation to cover studio fees, backup singers, and other expenses, underscoring the professionalism of gospel music.
In a recent statement, she emphasized the imperative need for payment, questioning how artists can sustain their commitments if they offer their services without compensation. Obaapa Christy's stance aligns with a growing recognition of the economic value associated with gospel music performances.
Coinciding with her advocacy, Obaapa Christy unveiled a new single titled "Ebesesa" on February 1st. Accompanied by a music video filmed by Skyweb in Ghana, the song conveys a message of hope and resilience, particularly pertinent in the post-COVID-19 era. Translating to "it will change" in Akan, "Ebesesa" aims to uplift listeners, reassuring them of God's presence amid adversity and providing encouragement to those facing challenging circumstances.
