Contemporary Ghanaian gospel musician Empress Gifty has opened up about the challenges she and other gospel artists face before releasing certain songs.

In an interview on Adom FM's Ofie Kwanso, the award-winning singer revealed that spiritual attacks are a common obstacle they encounter, especially when working on songs meant to inspire and deliver powerful messages to listeners.  "Sometimes, you go through attacks before a song comes out.

The kind of challenges you face… and it's because the song will touch lives or it will bring hope or miracle to someone.

So you need to be spiritually strong and fit," she said. The 'Awiey3 Pa' hitmaker emphasized the importance of gospel musicians remaining spiritually grounded, noting that these attacks are not only emotional or physical but often targeted at disrupting the message of the song.
