‘Back2Back Concert’ with Daughters of Glorious Jesus set for January 6
It is going to be all joy; worship and praise to God come January 6th at the Accra International Conference Centre as the evergreen Daughters of Glorious Jesus host the annual Back2Back concert. The show which is dubbed ‘the new year praise’ is expected to bring together a throng of gospel music lovers to celebrate the dawning of a new year. Daughters of Glorious Jesus have been the toast of Ghana gospel music for more than two decades and have arguably institutionalized themselves as one of the nation’s finest music group of all time. The trio will be supported on the night by four gospel hit makers who will treat the audience with exclusive performances. Seasoned gospel musicians such as Rev. Mrs. Hellen Yawson, Pastor Joe Beechem, the evergreen Tagoe Sisters, and youthful Cwesi Oteng will join the Daughters as they kickstart the year on a high note. Other high level personalities and celebrities are also expected to attend. ‘Daughters’ as they are affectionately called by fans will stage a two hour performance, playing tracks ranging from the debut album to the 10th and current album (Trimude). The trio, Cynthia, Edna and Monica started, as part of the choir of Resurrection Power and Living Bread Ministries, then headed by the late Rev. Akwasi Amoako, in 1986. Later, the General Overseer of the Church, Bishop Akwasi Asare Bediako, saw the potential and encouraged them to form a group. They proceeded to minister through songs at various church crusades and conventions. In 1990, Bishop Akwasi Asare Bediako took them to Europe to record their first album and since then they have never looked back. With over 10 albums and still counting, the Daughters of Glorious Jesus have the most number of songs by a Ghanaian gospel group that is listed among the all-time favourites. The group is known for its excellent three-part harmony whenever they perform on stage. They sing in Twi and English and are known for their funky style and ability to fuse highlife with the Western style of music very well. “We are very excited about this concert since it will give us the opportunity to thrill our fans to nonstop hit after hit. We hardly get such opportunities when we are invited to other events so this platform will bring out the best in us,” says Cynthia, a member of the trio. Monica added, “This is a platform that will bring out the best in us. It has always been our aim to give our fans one night filled with our praise and worship tunes and the Back2Back stage will do just that.” “After an activity filled year including an election, the Back2Back concert will give us the best stage to thank God for seeing us through the previous year and helping us see yet another one,” Edna stated. The Daughters are very much excited about the second concert and are feverishly preparing towards it with rehearsals underway. Tickets are available for GHC50 at Koala, Silverbird, Baatsona total, ICGC Christ Temple and Calvary Temple.]]>

Ice Spice remix stamps Cash Cobain’s “Fisherrr” as the Song of the Summer
Billboard Rookie of the Month, and multi-hyphenate NYC star, Cash Cobain has just linked up with Ice Spice for the long-awaited video remix for “Fisherrr”(feat. BaySwag) [18m+ Streams]. After bubbling the past few years with R-rated anthems over his own ethereal production – creating the playful “sexy drill” sound that he’s pioneered and taken to mainstream heights, Cash Cobain is stamping himself as a serious song of the summer contender with this remix.
Following up his two smash singles “Dunk Contest” (8m+) and “Fisherrr” (pronounced, ‘for sure), Cash is primed for his moment in the spotlight –– hitting 1M Monthly Listeners on Spotify, Top 3 NYC Shazam Charts, having occupied the #1 + #3 slots of the NYC Apple Music Charts, hitting #45 on the Urban Radio Charts and counting, and now landing Ice Spice’s third feature ever –– in the words of COMPLEX, “the summer of 2024 is looking very slizzy”. On the highly-anticipated remix, Ice Spice is simply in top-tier shape.
Adding her signature magnetic ‘it-girl’ flair, charming cadence, and instantly-coinable one-liners, she bolsters the lightning-hot single into astronomical territory with the opening lines –– “Got an attitude but I’m feelingless, so I ain’t mad at you, And I’m tatted too on this fatty-tude, I’m the baddest boo”.
The long-overdue collab from the two Bronx natives is seamless, with her being a tailor-fit alongside the ethereal, dreamy production and silky smooth verses from Bay Swag and Cash. With the recent releases of “Dunk Contest” (watch Genius ‘Open Mic’) and now the Ice Spice-assisted remix for “Fisherrr” (feat. BaySwag), Cash Cobain is using his collaborative momentum from last year to continue elevating his signature sound, showcasing its influential and ever-growing widespread appeal in the process. In the words of Cash:“It’s a beautiful record. It feels amazing, it feels like NYC is back stronger than ever with me and Spice -– two Bronx legends. Get ready for the song of the summer.”
Last month, Cash took over NYC with his birthday show, ‘Slizzyfest’ at Irving Plaza –– a night that was slated as a stacked lineup of NY’s finest, with rumors of an A-list superstar surprise set. After chatter spread online and the hype reached a fever pitch, the crowd became too much to handle and the show was ultimately canceled –– but Cash wanted to give the fans their money’s worth so he ventured into Union Square and threw a makeshift show with his crew, a Bluetooth speaker, and hundreds of adoring fans (read ‘I Went to Cash Cobain’s Slizzyfest and All I Got Was That Classic NYC Feeling’ via Rolling Stone + statement in Billboard).
Also in Billboard, Cash recently teased potential collaborations with Frank Ocean, Travis Scott, Don Toliver (seen filming a music video here), Lil Yachty and more –– a surefire sign of the worldwide stardom soon to come. These recent releases arrive on the heels of a career-defining year in 2023 that closed with the production of PinkPantheress‘ “Nice To Meet You” (feat. Central Cee), which debuted at #20 on Billboard Hot 100 (he also starred alongside her in a nationally-syndicated Apple commercial for the new MacBook).
This was preceded by producing Drake’s “Calling For You” (feat. 21 Savage), which debuted at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100, DJ’ing at Travis Scott‘s Cactus Jack x Audemars Piguet event, and releasing his critically-acclaimed debut solo album Pretty Girls Love Slizzy with Giant Music.
