What SPIRIT is about

Akwaboah has described SPIRIT as more than an album. In his words, it is “a deeply personal journey of heritage, identity, reflection and faith.”

It is a tribute to his father and grandfather, who he says helped blaze the trail for authentic Ghanaian highlife. It also tells the story of an artist at a crossroads in life, asking about purpose and direction and looking to God for guidance. Musically, he says the album blends authentic highlife with afro-fusion and newer Ghanaian sounds.

On YouTube, he explained that Mmoa means “help”, a song about the moments when everyone needs support and God’s guidance. He added that bringing in Fameye was a deliberate choice because of the singer’s relatable storytelling.

A busy year for Akwaboah

SPIRIT closes a busy 2026 for the highlife singer. Earlier in the year he released the Lighthouse EP, which included You Know with Sarkodie, followed by the World Cup-themed Same Same, Helping Hand with Zac Celinder and the music video for Pressure.
