Kofi Kinaata has a message…Seth Diamond justifies collaboration
Gospel musician, Seth Diamond has justified collaboration with secular musician, Kofi Kinaata on ‘My Hour’ song which was released last week.
The song which is one of the records on Seth Diamond’s ‘Take Over’ album is a testimony of God’s goodness and mercies.
Answering a question on his decision to feature a secular artiste on a gospel song during a press briefing last Wednesday at La Boutique Hotel in Accra, Seth Diamond said, “Kofi Kinaata’s music carries a strong message, he doesn’t just sing.”
According to the gospel musician, “everyone is allowed to praise God, that’s why i collaborated with him on a song on my album dubbed My hour, as people circulate the gospel around those who already know God, and leave others to their fate.”
He added that everything that had breadth should praise God, and for this reason, if a brother joined him to praise God, it was in order.
Touching on the songs on the album include, Onyame Ye, Dromo, Trust Issues, Take Over, Oh Jesus, and others.
The former Music Director of Central University Choir, Seth Diamond would be joined by Empress Gifty, Noble Nketia, Selina Boateng, Daugheters of Glorious Jesus and Herty Corgie on Sunday, September 26, at Anagkazo Assemblies (The life cathedral ) Lighthouse – Kasoa Ofankor in the Central Region for the launch of the Take Over album.

Von Sinu releases debut single ‘Thank You’
Von Sinu, an upcoming gospel musician, has released her debut single titled ‘Thank You’ which is gaining popularity on the airwaves and streaming platforms.
‘Thank you’ seeks to appreciate God for his goodness and faithfulness in her life.
In an interview with The Spectator in Accra, Von, who is also a fashion designer said “looking back at my life and what God has told me about myself, I was grateful.
She said she had to record it and later sent it to a friend who has been very instrumental in her being a gospel singer.
She said though there were other songs written and recorded, she thought it was prudent to release ‘Thank you’ as the Bible urges believers to give thanks in Psalm 92:1-2: “It is good to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to Your name”
The song is available on all digital platforms including Youtube, Spotify, Apple music Deezer and Tidal.
