Aku Favor is known for praising and worshiping God wherever she is, whether in the kitchen or the bathroom; she always finds a way to lift God’s name. She shared that she got some of the lyrics for ‘Celebrate’ while taking her bath; receiving biblical inspiration while reading the Bible, specifically Psalm 150:6.
She said that with God’s guidance, she has created a beautiful song in English, Twi, and Ewe.
Her journey in gospel music has always been driven by her passion for worship, and this new song is no different. Fans are excited to hear the release and experience the spiritual depth and dedication that she puts into her music.
