About few years ago, this writer was invited to an all night service by Holy Fire Dynanic Word International, Bronx, NY. Among the Praise and Worship team leading the service was a petite lady called Charlotte Forkuoh. Her voice was so powerful that everyone was impressed at the service. After the service, the writer commended Charlotte for such a gift and encouraged her to take her music talent to another level. Charlotte has indeed followed the advice, worked on her 10-track debut album; "ONYAME MABA" and finally launched it. The launching took place under the distingushed chairmanship of Rev. Bishop Akwasi Agyeman Prempeh. When Charlotte was introduced, she sung the second track of her album; "Wodi Masem" which sent chills to many present and became emotional as tears were flowing. After the launching; the writer impressed with her matured voice immediately coined her the nickname; The Gospel Princess and decided to add her to the list of current and upcoming artistes under his A&R management (Steve Kelly, Akwadaa, Kwaku Nsonoma, Owudinii, Kwesoul, Nana Bediako, Aretha Grant, Vivian Ofori to name a few). Charlotte "The Gospel Princess" started singing as a little girl and throughout her life she had been dreaming about becoming a gospel musician. She uttered; "As matter of fact Jehovah has let it come to pass". Raised by her father and came to the USA at the age of 16 years. She has completed Manhattan Community H/S and currently in college pursuing Nursing. Charlotte's debut album was produced by Ms Juliana Wiafe (Asew) and consists of the following titles; "Onyame maba, "Wo di masem, Wo Asem No, Nyame YE, Nyame Biara Nte Se Wo, David Nyame, MAKA MASEM, MEDO AWURADE, I WILL PRAISE YOU. The inspiration behind some of her titles on the album are: TRACK 2 - "WO DI MASEM" According to Charlotte, track 2 came about the pains she suffered growing up and thought all hope was lost. But Jehovah came to her rescue and she immediately started singing the song. Suddenly in a haste, went to the studio and recorded it. This song is a reminisce of the inspirational and chart topping hit; "Awurade Kasa" her magnificent voice send shivers to listeners spine. Anyone who listens to this song cry with emotions. It is a song to play when in pain, sorrow or need to be closer to the almighty to hear a humble cry. TRACK 6 - "David Nyame"- She said, she was in the kitchen cooking when she heard a voice; "He is the light of the world, I wrote it down, the holy spirit helped me arrange it and recorded it too". The song is backed by a R&B sound. Check out the chorus; "Ah oh me Nyame, Nyame, wonti na ma ba ooh" - Oh my Lord it is because of you that I have come. TRACK 8 - "WONE NYAME" According Charlotte, "I know there is nothing that God can never do I came up with this track bacause if God does something for you, you have to praise him" The song is a mixture of R&B, Jazz and Reggae to suit all listeners; The chorus here" Mepe se me kase Onyame, wo yee ah" - I want to say God you are so Good. Copies of the CD have already been delivered to the studios of Oman FM and Happy FM for airplay, many studios would also be getting copies very soon. Charlotte has become a symbol that God has a gift of talent for everyone and size does not matter. All one has to do is to have the faith/belief and ask him to reveal it, it shall surely and ALWAYS be done. "For with God nothing will be impossible." - Luke 1:37 and Matthew 6:33, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Readers are encouraged by this writer to use the power of the tongue to always say the good word for it to come true; "Confess it and possess it", "name it and claim it", "blab it and grab it" "speak it into existence".
