Top 5 Ghanaian singers of 2019

The good thing, though, is that the increasing number of vocalists has not diluted the quality of singers we have in the industry.

Some are just born to sing and, as such, they do it so well that you can’t help but applaud them for how well they perform when in front of the mic.

Below are the top five Ghanaian singers of the year 2019 (in no particular order):

1. Kuami Eugene

Kuami Eugene’s rise in the music industry has been very meteoric and his impeccable voice is one of the reasons why he is so highly rated.

The Lynx Entertainment signee has blazed the trail with numerous hits and features in the year under review.

The ‘Ohemaa’ hit maker was deservedly rewarded for his outputs when he won big at the 2019 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA).

Kuami Eugene was adjudged the Highlife Artiste of the Year, while his ‘Rockstar’ album also won him the Album of the Year.

In terms of features, the singer was very active in the year under review, doing collaborations with Kwesi Arthur, DJ Slim Eddie Khae and Broni. He was arguably the hottest singer in 2019.

2. KiDi

You need to listen to KiDi for just a few seconds to realise how talented he is. Not only does he boast a sublime voice, he has mastered the art of connecting with fans through his lyrics.

His ‘Sugar’ album, which was launched in the middle of 2019, is made up of numerous hit songs.

‘Thunder’, ‘Sugar Daddy’, ‘Adiepena’ and ‘Say you love me’ are just but a few of his songs which made massive waves in the year.

He also had collaborations with some A-list artistes, including Stonebwoy, Kwesi Arthur and Nigeria’s Mayorkun.

Winning the Male Vocalist of the Year at the 2019 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) was the icing on the cake for the lanky singer.

3. Adina

When it comes to females who do secular music in Ghana, none comes close to Adina Thembi at the moment.

The songstress has established herself in the industry in the last three years and it looks like she’s here to stay.

Adina’s voice, breath control and composure when performing live, sets her apart from others. In fact, not since the days of Efya in her prime, has Ghana seen such an exciting female singer.

Not only does she produce hits on her own, she is so blessed that any song she features on becomes a hit as well.

Take Teephlow’s “Forgive” or FlowKing Stone’s “One Love” or even K.K Fosu’s “Lovers rock” and you would appreciate and respect Adina more. Her single ‘Sika” which was released in August is also a big jam.

4. Joyce Blessing

Joyce Blessing has been very consistent in the gospel music industry for many years now, and she continues to keep the fire burning.

The singer released ‘I swerve’ in 2018, which became a massive hit, gaining massive airplay on television and radio.

In 2019, she didn’t release too many songs but the few she did were top-notch. With her imperious voice, she continues to produce hit upon hit.

‘Repent’ which was released earlier in the year remains one of the biggest gospel songs, while ‘Adam Nana’ is a potential award-winning song.

5. Diana Hamilton

Very few gospel musicians can be compared with Diana Hamilton when it comes to impact in the year 2019.

The singer enjoyed a very fruitful year, which saw her deservedly win numerous awards in the process.

Diana Hamilton released a series of hits, top of the list being ‘W’asem’ and ‘Nsenkyerene Nyankopon”.

She subsequently bagged the Gospel Artiste of the Year award at the 2019 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA), and also won two awards at the 2019 African Gospel Music and Media Awards.
