George Krown set to outdoor new single ‘Hope’
United Kingdom (UK)-based Ghanaian contemporary gospel musician, George Krown, is set to release another masterpiece titled ‘Hope’ on April 15,2022.
Put together by Papa Owura, the soul-lifting worship tune aims at restoring hope, confidence and the ability able to withstand circumstances and tribulation in one’s aspiration to greatness.
With his last single ‘Onyame Aye Bi’ still receiving massive airplay, Krown in an exclusive interview with The Spectator said the song would transform lives and bring joy to many who have chosen to give up due to the challenges of life.
“When you look around the world, people are in quandary and need hope to be able to overcome. I prayed to God and asked Him to give me a message which speaks into the lives of people and I settled on Hope.”
Speaking on his second single after rebranding from Nana Kusi, the Worship Leader of Global Harvest Ministries (UK) he said often times songs were judged by how “they blow out of proportion” rather than the impact the song bring.
“There are specific people God leads you to write a song for. Once these people are reached, then the song has served its purpose and with Hope, it is touching lives,” he said.
With four singles to his credit (Thank you Lord, Jesus you have been good, God Alone and None like You), Krown – who doubles as a Deacon in the Church of Pentecost (UK), said he teamed up with sensational Ghanaian female singer, Joyce Yeboah, who he had known for a long time.
He asserted that promotion had always been a challenge. However, with his good rapport and strong relationships built around the few he trusted after a couple of songs released, ‘Hope’ had been well received by gospel music lovers.
Krown burst onto the music scene about a decade-and-a-half ago, releasing his first work in 2009.
He has an album to his credit, but resumed to active music in 2021 after a hiatus in 2002.

Thousands of music enthusiasts thronged the Adaklu Youth Resource Centre on Thursday night for the Torcher Experience Concert headlined by Ghanaian music icon Stonebwoy, blending entertainment with youth empowerment.
The atmosphere at the concert grounds changed, the moment Stonebwoy began his grand entry onto the stage at the “Torcher Experience” concert.
As the powerful Ewe song “Mele Gbagbe Há Wo le alia” started playing through the speakers, the crowd erupted with loud cheers and excitement waving their hands in unison, sang along, and some held up their phones with flashlights, lighting up the night as they waited to see the Bhim Nation President appear.
Notable of him, Stonebwoy stepped onto the stage with well-rehearsed symbolic choreography and energy, dressed stylishly as he was ushered on the stage by white-clad men wielding long sticks, from where he acknowledged the massive crowd.
The song created an emotional and energetic mood, making the audience feel connected to the performance. As he moved closer to the front of the stage, the cheers grew even louder, setting the tone for an unforgettable night of music and celebration in Ho and beyond as patrons celebrate music, unity and community spirit.
The venue came alive with excitement as fans sang along to popular songs and enjoyed energetic stage performances, creating a vibrant atmosphere that lasted late into the morning.
A delegation led by Mr James Gunu, together with Edem Agbana and Edem Kpotosu, Members of Parliament of Ketu North and Ho Central, respectively attended the event, and presented a citation and helped in cutting a birthday cake to the artiste in recognition of his contribution to music and youth development.
Mr Gunu commended Stonebwoy for projecting the Volta Region and Ghana onto the global stage through music while inspiring young people to pursue their talents and ambitions.
In a notable gesture during the concert, the artiste donated GH¢100,000 as seed funding towards the Volta Youth Development Fund, an initiative aimed at supporting youth entrepreneurship and creating opportunities for young people in the region.
Although the concert recorded massive patronage and lively performances, some patrons raised concerns about intermittent sound challenges; however, many remained at the venue until about 05:30am hours, cheering and calling for more performances as Stonebwoy thrilled the audience with his dynamic stagecraft and popular hits.
