Ghanaian songwriter and performer Akwaboah has opened up that his new album is rooted in the belief that the Holy Spirit guides people through life’s decisions if they choose to listen.

Speaking in a phone interview with GhanaWeb’s Patience Adu, the singer explained that the album’s title was inspired by the “small voice” that often warns people before they make life-changing decisions.

“If you listen to the very first song on the album, I was talking about the things we go through in life. There’s a small voice in our head that actually warns us before we take a journey or make life decisions. Sometimes we refuse to listen to that voice, so we make mistakes. If we’re honest with ourselves, we know the Spirit was there to warn us, but we never listened. That’s the Holy Spirit,” he said.

According to Akwaboah, the title track carries the message that those who call on the Holy Spirit will receive guidance because only He knows what lies ahead.

Explaining why he chose to release the 11-track project on November 11, 2026 (11/11), Akwaboah said the timing aligns with his tradition of releasing an album every two years to give fans enough time to fully appreciate each body of work.

“I release my albums every two years because I need time to really promote them, and fans also need enough time to listen to every song instead of rushing through them. This time, it’s 11 songs released on the 11th day of the 11th month because of the 11th-hour blessing,” he explained.

The singer further disclosed that repeatedly seeing his daughter on his phone over the past few months convinced him it is the perfect moment to release the album.

“For about three or four months, anytime I picked up my phone to check the time, it was either 11:11 in the morning or 11:11 in the evening. I felt like the universe was talking to me, or God was talking to me.

“Normally, I release albums whenever it’s convenient, but this time I felt 11:11 was the right portal and the right time to release the album,” he added.

Reflecting on the reception since the album’s release, Akwaboah said he has been overwhelmed by the positive feedback from fans and industry players, adding that the response has reassured him that the years spent creating the project were worthwhile.

“So far, I’m loving the reception. Even my friends and big bosses have been calling to tell me the album is dope and they can’t skip a single song. The beautiful thing is that it’s not just one song people love; everyone has a different favourite on the album, and to me that’s a sign that it’s a good album,” he said.
