Evangelist Amy Newman<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
Renowned female Ghanaian gospel musician, Evangelist Amy Newman, has revealed that she went through depression that nearly took her life.<\/p>\n
According to the \u2018Okamafo Jesus\u2019 hitmaker, she was only \u201cseeing death\u201d during that period in her life.<\/p>\n
This was the first time she has opened up on the issues surrounding her disappearance from the industry.<\/p>\n
Speaking in an interview with Nhyiraba Paa Kwesi Simpson, on Connect FM<\/em>, the gospel singer revealed that it took spiritual deliverance before she was rescued.<\/p>\n\u201cI passed through a lot four years ago. For that four years, I passed through depression and I was only seeing death. I could lock myself in the room and the only thing in my mind was death,\u201d she indicated.<\/p>\n
The singer, who has released a new track titled \u2018Makoma Ahye Ma\u2019, explained that her depression took a toll on her professional relationship.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wrote this song (Makoma Ahye Ma) in 2009 but after the depression, I decided to release it as a form of my appreciation to God,\u201d she disclosed.<\/p>\n
She added that the new song has been uploaded on all her social media handles.<\/p>\n
Amy Newman released her first and second albums titled \u2018God of Mercy\u2019 in 1989.<\/p>\n
Later, she came out with \u2018Oye W\u2019adom\u2019, which included the hit song \u2018Lord Prepare Me\u2019, bringing her into the limelight in 1994.<\/p>\n
In 1998, she came out with two albums \u2018Nhyira Nka Wo Dzen\u2019, containing the hit song \u2018Atseasefo\u2019 and \u2018Jesus Is Coming\u2019.<\/p>\n
Other albums include \u2018Okamafo\u2019 (2001) and \u2018M\u2019gyei Nhyira Mu\u2019 in 2004.<\/p>\n
In 2006, she came out with two albums titled \u2018Wongya Me O\u2019 and \u2018Nyame Wo Hon Yedzin\u2019 to celebrate 20 years of her ministry.<\/p>\n
Being the first gospel singer in the Western Region to receive an ACRAG Award, Amy believes she was able to reach this far by the grace of God.<\/p>\n
