In a time when the music industry is shifting toward quick singles and viral moments, Ghanaian gospel powerhouse Obaapa Christy has taken a bold step in the opposite direction, delivering not just a song, but a full spiritual experience.
Her 15th studio album, Odeneho (The Sovereign One), was released on July 31, 2025, and it’s already making waves across both gospel and secular circles.
But it wasn’t just the album that got people talking. It was the moment the world saw Obaapa Christy and Sarkodie, two giants from different ends of Ghana’s musical spectrum, come together on a track that is now being called a spiritual crossover, “Odeneho.”
“This was more than a feature. It was a testimony,” Sarkodie reacted to the collaboration.
The track is raw, reverent, and real. Sarkodie, known for his lyrical precision, opens up like never before, pouring out one of the most emotional verses of his career. According to him, this wasn’t just a studio job, it was a “bucket list achievement.”
“If you see how Sarkodie sang ‘Odeneho’ with such emotion,” Obaapa Christy shared, “you’d know he truly loves God. I’ve never seen him sing with so much feeling. God bless him.”
A short teaser of the music video has already gone viral, sparking a wave of curiosity and anticipation. Both artistes promise the full video is coming soon, and it’s set to be more than a visual; it’s a testimony.
Meanwhile, Odeneho is not just a collection of songs, it’s a spiritual journey. With 12 tracks that cover themes of hope, worship, thanksgiving, and personal breakthrough, the album feels like a modern-day psalm book.
Among the standout tracks is “No Weapon”, a soul-piercing message of resilience and spiritual warfare. The official video is slated for release on September 4, 2025, and fans are already calling it one of the most comforting gospel songs in recent memory.
Other powerful tracks include: “Gyae Su” ft. Brother Sammy – a cry of comfort; “Thank You Jesus” ft. Junior (Obaapa Christy’s 2nd Son) – a celebration of gratitude.; “Yesu Mo”, “Waye Yie Nwom Ni”, and “Omma Me Nte Nhwe” – solo works full of depth and fire among others.
A Night to Remember: The Official Launch:
The Alisa Hotel in Accra set the stage for a historic launch event. The red carpet was lined with celebrities, politicians, and spiritual leaders, a rare fusion of entertainment and ministry.
Attendees included Kwabena Kwabena, Dr. Likee, Andy Dosty, former Education Minister Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, Sammy Awuku, Kwame A Plus, loved ones and a host of pastors who filled the room with prayer and presence.
What was supposed to be a launch became a night of worship, testimonies, and heartfelt music, a true reflection of Obaapa Christy’s identity as both an artist and a minister.
Why An Album — and Why Now?
In an exclusive reflection, Obaapa Christy shared what makes this release so significant in an era dominated by singles and streaming stats:
“God gives me songs, in dreams, in worship, during church services, driving in a car, listening to other songs, even in silence. I’ve had songs sitting in the studio for years, waiting for the right time. I don’t want to serve snacks; I want to offer a full spiritual meal. That’s why I do albums.”
And that decision wasn’t just personal, it was spiritual. After her powerful collaboration with Prof. Kofi Abraham on “Wiase Mu Abrabo”, gospel legends began reaching out. Many asked her to help revive their classic songs, not for fame, but to keep the fire burning for future generations.
“They don’t want to be forgotten,” she said. “They want today’s youth to feel the power that moved crowds decades ago. I owe it to them.”
Prof. Kofi Abraham himself responded with deep admiration: “She’s not just singing. She’s preserving history. Gospel music is safe in her hands.”
More Than Music – A Ministry of Memory;
Obaapa Christy’s Odeneho is not just an album; it’s a bridge between generations, a movement that honours the past while pointing to the future. It reminds listeners that the gospel is not about trends, it’s about truth. And sometimes, truth sounds like worship, rap, drums, tears, or even silence.
From her early days with “Me Te Ase”, to this landmark 15th album, Rev. Obaapa Christy has carried one mission: to uplift souls and draw people closer to God.
“This is more than music. It’s ministry. It’s memory. It’s me answering my calling.” – Obaapa Christy
