The “I’m Blessed” song is the 6th track on the EP which is showing gratitude to God for life. The song has a rich echoing Twi appellations extolling the greatness of God. It is a unique and unusual fusion of Afro-beats and Talking drums.
“While writing the song, we needed someone to fill it with deep Akan appellations to glorify God. We were just looking at our lives and just wanted to take the struggles and everything we’ve been through and put in a song”, Lali explained the rational for the song. She adds, “We just could not find the right Akan words and attitude”.
“We put a notice out and had a couple of people calling but none of them met our expectations. We were finally directed to meet Nyansa Boakwa and after a brief discussions with him, we knew immediately he was the one”, they revealed.
Nyansa Boakwa talking about how he came about the words for the song mentioned that, after listening to the song and appreciating what it intended, “I just decided to give God the praise through appellations in words and expressions I knew best. There are times you want to talk to God but don’t have the right words to do so. So I just used some attributes to describe him and that was all”.
Although the music duo just recently came in contact with Rev. Nyansa Boakwa, they admit he has been an amazing blessing to them and they now see him as a family.
