‘Still Papping’ is Christmas song-EL
Ghanaian rapper, Elorm Adablah, known in showbiz circles as EL, has revealed that his new song, dubbed, “Still papping” which is the first off his upcoming album, slated for next year, is a Christmas song.
EL believes that Christmas is a festive season for people to make merry after a long year of hustle and bustle, adding that ‘Still papping’ has what it takes to get people into the party mood in the Yuletide.
According to him, a lot of singles would be released before the end of 2020, to pave way for the official release of his much anticipated new album.
“This is the first song of my album dropping in 2021, I will be releasing a couple of singles, so all my fans should watch out,” EL said.
Speaking to The Spectator, he said, “Still papping” produced by Pee GH was a song which came with a lot of energy to get people on the dance floor.
“When you want to make a song, you try and get into the mood, so that the song would be accepted the way you want, this song has a lot of energy that will get you onto the dance floor” he said.
EL said that all he wanted to say in the song was that regardless of the challenges coronavirus caused, people were still having fun, and would not be perturbed.
Touching on the challenges of the coronavirus, he said it has dealt the industry a big blow, however, he believed that there have been some positive lessons which would be learnt from the unfortunate situation.
“We haven’t had enough leeway to manoeuvre, but there is always a silver lining in such circumstances which could be used for our benefit,” He said.
EL has produced a lot of hit songs over the years, and in 2016, he won the Overall Artiste of the Year award at the Vodafone Ghana Music Award (VGMA).

GHANAIAN gospel heavyweight, Empress Gifty, has released a spirit-filled song titled “Sunsum Ndwom.”
The song, which is already making waves shortly after its release, is delivered in three parts, each carrying a powerful message.
The first part reflects on the mystery of Prophet Elijah, where people wondered who he was after he prayed and called down fire from heaven.
The second part centres on salvation, urging believers not to celebrate only power and miracles, but to celebrate the fact that their names are written in the Book of Life, because that is what lasts forever.
The third part celebrates the beauty of God’s healing power, a song originally composed by her late mother.
The gospel star is urging Ghanaians to stream the song on all platforms and encounter its powerful lyrics.
She also stressed the need to preserve Ghana’s traditional gospel sound, expressing hope that the new generation will embrace their heritage.
Empress Gifty further expressed appreciation to all stakeholders in the industry who have supported her career over the years.

The event was held at the Broken Yoke Ministry International at Klagon in Accra.
Thousands of widows who benefited were taken through health education for good living, business enhancement, women empowerment and legal education, among others.
In addition, they were given water, cloth, rice, noodles, oil, Noko Fine Washing Powder and other toiletries.
Mrs Dongotey-Padi noted that there is land earmarked for vocational training and gari processing for those who are unemployed and would want to make ends meet.
Against that backdrop, she expressed appreciation to gospel musician Empress Gifty for supporting her with her Noko Fine Washing Powder and Verna Mineral Water.
According to her, it went a long way to put smiles on the faces of the widows.
Akumaa Mama Zimbi further said that if she looks back on how the journey started 18 years ago, she feels fulfilled in impacting thousands of lives.
