GHANAIAN UK-based gospel musician and songwriter, Victoria Ivy Obeng has finally released the much-anticipated Extended Play (EP), titled My Passion.
The EP is made up of five spirit-filled songs: ‘Take me deeper’, ‘Psalms 34’, ‘I surrender’, ‘I love you more than anything’ and ‘You Alone’.
The EP was birthed from a deep hunger for God’s presence and an unwavering love for Jesus Christ. Rooted in scripture and inspired by a life of worship, this project is a response to the call for total surrender.
“To love the Lord with all my heart, soul, mind and strength (Mark 12:30), songs like ‘Take me deeper’ and ‘I surrender’ express longing for intimacy with God and a willingness to yield completely to His will,” she revealed.
Ivy Obeng added, “also ‘You Alone’ and ‘I love you more than anything’ declare Christ as the centre of all devotions, while ‘Psalms 34’ reflects a lifestyle of continuous praise.”
She started singing at the age of eight, and with the determination to get to the top, Ivy Obeng has touched and impacted many lives with her God-given talent through ministrations at different events.
The gospel minister began writing and recording her songs in 2020 during the COVID-19 lockdown. She is eager to impact lives and change destinies for the better through her awe-inspiring music.
The EP is available on all digital music stores worldwide.

AFTER two years of silence, Clarion Clarkewoode roars again with ‘Aye Kwa’, to wit, the plot has failed.
‘Aye Kwa’ is a vibrant afrobeats track in which Clarion delivers a humorous and relatable narrative drawn from everyday life. The song is crafted to keep listeners engaged, entertained, and encouraged to stay fearless and unshaken in the face of negativity or hate.
When asked why he chose to release this song now, Clarion reflected that its lyrical content mirrors the challenges he has personally faced and, by God’s great grace actively at work in his life, overcome.
Anchoring his message in Scripture, Clarion affirms that through the finished and perfect work of Jesus Christ on the cross, “nothing present or yet to come can separate us from the love of Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38–39).
In a message to his fans, Clarion said, “watch this space you’re going to be spoilt for choice this year. I’m making up for the two years of silence with a variety of massive tunes!”
‘Aye Kwa’ was produced by Kwame Yeboah (KwamStar) in the UK, with additional production and mixing by Martin Mawutor (Martinokeys) in Germany. It was mastered by Matt Foster in the UK, with background vocals by Claudia Trixie and Clarion Clarkewoode in Ghana.
‘Aye Kwa’ is now available for streaming and download on all digital platforms.
