Augustina Addison, a high profile member of the Church of Pentecost and famous professional gospel star has returned from a tour performance in the US poised to release her sixth album.
Entitled ?Nhinta Me? the new album is one that all Christians must rush to get a copy of. Augustina says she had to fast for forty days and nights for inspiration before coming out with this new album.
It contains a special message for all Ghanaians in the country especially during this period of political campaigning and impending December Presidential and Parliamentary elections.
It pleads with God not to hide his face from Ghana this year. ?Because we trust him, he should hide us as individuals as a nation in his mighty bosom for our success, prosperity, provision, and protection and secure the destiny of this country. And as individuals let us rest in his hands?, she said.
Nhinta Me is more improved and far different from Augustina?s previous albums. There is more creativity in this album and in the vocal style. It also has lyrics written in Twi and English.
The rhythm is so powerful that it could cause one to get down on his or her knees to pray and give thanks to God Almighty wherever one might be.
The feel of the Holy Spirit is so strong that one can hardly be on his feet without falling down listening to all the 13 songs on the album for the second time.
Some of the tracks on the album are (side one) ?Nhinta Me?, ?Wo Mu Awurade?, ?Kora Me?, ?Me Ye Den? and ?Wo Ye Onyame?. On the flip side are songs good for worship. They include ?Animuowyam?, ?Almighty?, ?Owura?, ?Asafo Yehowa?, ?Halleluya?, ?Aman Nyinaa? and the bonus hot praise version of ?Me Ye Den?.
The album would be launched on Sunday May 9, 2004 at the Pentecost International Worship Centre auditorium at Asokwa, Kumasi. Many men of God would lay hands on the albums to confirm the Holy Ghost power on it.
Augustina told the Graphic Showbiz that her first international musical performance trip was not a joke at all. She said she was even more overwhelmed to realise that her works were even more popular in the foreign lands than in her in her own country.
She said she could not forget shaking hands with thousands and thousands of people any time she descended from stage. She has extended an invitation to all gospel music lovers to come and help launch the album.
