Empress Gifty bounced home with a deserved win, taking the award for Best Traditional Gospel Song for her powerful gospel anthem “Watch Me” at the 26th Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA).
Birthed with a bold declaration of divine preservation and favor, this song is caught in the rich Ghanaian rhythms fused with that unmistakable anointing, the hallmark of Empress Gifty’s art in the last decade. “Watch Me” places her at the forefront of Ghanaian gospel as the best artist capable of perfectly mixing tradition with contemporary slickness.
The award stands as a testament to her efforts towards keeping Ghanaian gospel music’s cultural identity intact even as she preaches faith and resilience. Her commanding presence, passion-filled ministry, and vocal prowess were all exhibited before the TGMA season and capped with the major victory.
This accolade serves as a tribute to Empress Gifty for her work in gospel music while highlighting the influence of traditional music on the evolution and sustenance of the genre.
Congratulations to Empress Gifty on this victorious moment!
