UK-based Ghanaian gospel musician, Francisca Amoah has finally released the music video for her song, “My Praise”.
The Fast-rising gospel musician, Francisca Amoah is also a professional logistician in the UK.
Her song teaches the act of thanksgiving urging Christians to praise God regardless of their difficulties.
Narrating how she composed the song, she said “It was on one winter evening, it was dark and cold, I set off from home to attend bible studies at Eternal Life Christian Centre. I was on the way alone, feeling cold, and faced with the darkness on the road I remembered the lines in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 which says “Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”
“As soon as the thought of these words flashed through my mind, the song burst out of my mouth,” she revealed.
Francisca Amoah believes that the birth of “My Praise” affirms one’s faith to sing God’s praises in all the circumstances of our life.
“I am convinced that God wants to use this song to tell someone out there that the challenges you are facing must not define you. My Praise is also a faith song,” she added.
According to her, “The bible says that faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen and for it the Elders obtained a good testimony. My Praise song is a song of good testimony, to sing Praise and not Pain.”
She desires that this song of faith and testimony will be an anthem song for every believer to use to affirm their faith in God regardless of the situation they find themselves in.
“Every name and knee should bow when we call on the name of Jesus. Come on, and Let’s sing our Praise song,” she added.
The music video released on December 18, is available on her YouTube page among other platforms.
Francisca came out with her first album in March 2023 and through her hard work, she was signed by Kato Enterprise as a Brand Ambassador for UltiMalt Drinks in the UK.

After years of development, funding, and creative grit, Ghanaian feature film “Ego Reach We All” has earned an official nomination to make its world premiere at the 79th Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland this month.
Formerly titled Vagabonds, the 105-minute drama was written and directed by Amartei Armar and produced by Yemoh Ike.
It marks one of the biggest international breakthroughs for Ghanaian cinema in recent years.
The film was shot entirely in Ghana with a Ghanaian cast and crew, grounding it in authentic local culture.
Post-production was completed in France, a collaboration that Director Amartei Armar says reflects the film’s spirit, “A Ghanaian story told with the world.”
The journey began in 2018 when the short film version won at the Montreal World Film Festival, an Oscar-qualifying event.
From there, ‘Ego Reach We All’ grew into a full-length feature backed by some of the most respected names in global film development: Winner – Cannes Focus CoPro, Recipient – Red Sea Development Fund, Honoree – Red Sea Souk Award and Backed by – Red Sea Productions Fund.
Industry watchers have called it one of the most promising African film projects to emerge in the last decade.
Beyond awards, the project was shaped in top international labs.
Armar was selected for the Heyazah Screening Lab in Doha, Qatar, to refine the film’s narrative.
Producer, Yemoh Ike joined the prestigious, 2023 EAVE Producers Programme under a CNC scholarship, with training sessions in Luxembourg, Austria, and the Netherlands.
Most recently, the film was chosen for the 2025 Atlas Workshop in Marrakesh, Morocco, cementing its place in global cinema circles.
Casts include, Idrissu Tontie, Dorothy Adobea Tandoh, Emmanuel Wilberforce, Barbara Yong Jin, Emmanuel Owusu Ofori, O’Bryan Kwame Enyan, Gabriel Narh Addo, Nelly Bilson, and Kwame Brenya.
For the team, Locarno is not just a festival slot. It’s validation that Ghanaian stories, told by Ghanaians, can compete on the world’s most respected stages.
“Principal photography was done entirely by Ghanaian creatives,” the producers noted.
