People from all walks of life last Saturday made it to the premises of the Sheepfold Chapel on the Spintex Road, to support music producer and sound engineer, Yosef Appiah, popularly known as Quick Action, to launch his Arise album.
The praise and worship album features popular radio presenter, Abeiku Aggrey Santana of Tema-based Adom FM. The two and a half-hour launch ceremony saw patrons heartily dancing to music from guest artistes, Mary Ghansah and Gifty Osei.
The Arise album, according to Quick Action, was a project that had been on his mind for over a decade. Songs on the album, such as Nkunim, Agyenkwan, My Faith and Yesu Do were rendered as worship medleys with instrumentation and keyboard works performed by Quick Action.
He said the decision to feature Abeiku on the album was informed by the kind of motivation the latter had provided over the years to his listeners through his late afternoon radio programme on Adom FM.
Speaking to Showbiz after the launch, Quick Action stated that working with certain gospel musicians over the years, especially Mary Ghansah, influenced the making of the Arise album.
Sharing his thoughts on the album, Abeiku pointed out that though people know him well for his humorous approach to issues, he accepted to feature on the Arise album to showcase other talents he possesses. To him, it is a thanksgiving offering to God for all the good things that have happened and continue to occur in his life.
“God’s abundant grace has kept me through some turbulent times and I must thank Him for that,” he stated.
Quick Action intends to embark on a nationwide tour soon, starting from Takoradi in the Western Region, to promote the Arise work.
The launch ceremony was sponsored by Healthy Life with support from Adom FM and Winnies Foods.
