New Album 'Nsoro' Released

Henry Gyebi, a senior accountant of the Volta Regional office of the National Vocational Training Institute, has released his maiden album "Nsoro."

The 10-track album which can be gotten on either CD or cassette include songs like "God?s constant love," "the title track". ?Nsoro?, ?Yewo Kamafo?, ?Na subowo?, ?Upon my journey?, ?Mekra ye komm?, ?Nkunimdi?, ?Beautiful road?, ?Osoro ye fe? and ?Twiabo tiriw?. The album is a blend of Akan and English and is soul searching.

Gyebi, 31, popularly called Hen Gyebi did the arrangement, composition and production supported by Queen Betty Davis, a student of International Centre for Professional Studies, Ho, Evelyn Adu, a sister to Gyebi based in Italy, and Desmond Ababio, an up-and-coming musician.

The hit track and incidentally the title track ?God?s constant love? melts the heart and sinners who listen carefully to the song go down on their knees to seek the intervention of God.

?Mekra ye komm,? ?Nkunimdi? and ?Upon my journey? are some of the songs ear arresting master-pieces spiced with soothing instrumentation and an almost unnoticeable under current percussive drive for someone who has realised his maiden CD and cassette.

In a chat with ?Spectator Arts and Entertainment?, Gyebi described all the songs as messages that come from his heart to the Lord and that the Lord made good plans for his children which he had brought to fruition in his own time.

Responding to a question, Gyebi called for a strong public support for up and coming artists to attain stardom to enable them to live decently.

He was hopeful that his debut album would sooner or later burst the charts with at least three of the songs which should inspire him to release the second, adding that "I will not be discouraged if my expectations are not met and rather be encouraged to improve upon it."

Asked how he can combine his accounting profession with music, Gyebi said he composes his music after close of work till midnight and it also prevents him from staying in town after work and maintained that he had no difficulty combining the two.

Gyebi urged Christians not to despair if their prayers have not been heard, instead they should pray without ceasing. "If your time is not ripe do not apportion blame."
