Veteran music executive, Kwame Mickey has advised gospel musicians not to follow the trend of releasing singles.<\/p>\n

\u201cGospel music should be a whole album for the Christian to enjoy fully, not singles, hmmmm!!, he wrote in a Facebook post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Responding a social media post by DJ Ashmen, Kwame expressed dissatisfaction at the content and style of Ghanaian gospel music.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe style of gospel music they compose nowadays and the line of the message can\u2019t be enjoyed and bang in the clubs like it used to be, since they are not learning from their predecessors like Bishop Michael Osei Bonsu, Seth Frimpong, Osuani Afrifa, and many others who lifted Ghanaian Gospel to the top,\u201d he noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cGospel music should be something that people have to run to the shops and music vendors to patronize, despite the current situation of only online sales,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

According to him, in a country that has a lot of Christians, gospel musicians should be earning more from their songs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Adducing as reason gospel music in Ghana is seemingly not gaining a lot of mileage, Kwame Mickey said \u201cit\u2019s because of the lack of proper messages like the olden days\u2019 gospel, and the worst of it all is the singles they release, how?\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Gospel<\/figure>\n

The music executive\u2019s comment comes on the back of DJ Ashmen\u2019s Facebook post which sought to find how gospel music is faring in Ghana.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs Ghanaian Gospel music still bankable? Are they setting trends like how the late Seth Frimpong n co even got NIGHT CLUBS banging their tunes back in the day? Do their followers know about streaming it on DSPs?\u201d he asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
