Akesse Brempong set to release new single ‘Closer’

Akesse Brempong indubitably one promising songwriter in the contemporary gospel scenes today, made his entrance into the contemporary gospel music circles not many months ago with his first single ‘Holy’- a worshipful ballad set in a sweet African rhythm.

He followed up with ‘Nobody Like you’ and the deal breaker record ‘Crazy Love’ which earned the artiste a nomination for the 4SYTE MVA’s 2013 and the acolade ‘Da’Crazy Love Dude’.

Akesse Brempong having etched his name into the annals of the GH contemporary gospel hall of fame will with no shadow of doubt consolidate his spot with the release of ‘Closer’ his fourth single from his upcoming album ‘Songs in the Night’.

‘Closer’ set in a distinct root–rock-reggae style alien to gospel music in Ghana further affirms Akesse’s niche in the gospel reggae genre. Produced by Kwame Keys the South-Africa based Ghanaian producer, Closer also features Kweku Nyarko “Cwake” on acoustic guitars.

Akesse make a sweet entrance into the song chanting a simple melody line amidst guitar strums, banging bongos and soothing harmonica flicks. It doesn’t take long for the listener to appreciate the bedazzling writing and vocal knack of Akesse Brempong who seems to be in communion with God referred to as ‘Sir’ in the song. His request-“I wanna be close to you”.

Akesse says “Closer is not just another track to display my musical prowess. It’s a personal prayer and a heartfelt desire. I pour out my heart to God on that record and anybody who loves God will certainly identify with that song”.

The Tribe of Judah, the ministry team of Akesse Brempong is getting ready to release the single for free downloads on social media driven through Akesse Brempong’s Facebook artiste page.
