Fast-rising Ghanaian gospel artist Kikicalm has released a stirring new rendition of the popular gospel anthem ‘Abankese’, describing the song as a reflection of her own story of faith, peace, and divine gratitude.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with starrfm.com.gh, Kiki revealed that the decision to record her own version came from a deeply personal place.
“This song has always spoken deeply to my spirit,” she shared. “The message touched me in a personal way, reminding me of God’s grace and faithfulness in my journey. I decided to do my own version because I wanted to express that same emotion from my heart and share how the song ministered to me.”
Kiki explained that while her version honors the heart of the original song, she was intentional about letting her unique sound shine through.
“I wanted to keep the soul and message of the original song intact while allowing my voice and unique sound to flow naturally,” she said. “My approach was to pray, listen deeply, and interpret it with simplicity and sincerity. I blended gentle African gospel tones with my personal vocal expression to make it feel both familiar and fresh.”
Known for her soothing vocal style and inspirational delivery, Kiki describes her music as “heartfelt worship rooted in African rhythms.”
“My musical journey has been one of faith, growth, and discovery,” she noted. “The ‘Kiki Calm’ sound is defined by heartfelt worship, African rhythms, and a sense of serenity; it’s music that speaks to the soul and brings calmness even in the storm.”
For Kiki, this latest release is more than music; it’s a message of hope. “I hope listeners feel uplifted, encouraged, and drawn closer to God,” she said. “I want them to know that no matter what they’re going through, there is peace, hope, and strength in His presence.”
Looking ahead, Kikicalm says fans can expect more faith-filled music and creative projects that reflect her deep spiritual convictions.
“Yes, this release is just the beginning,” she confirmed. “I’m currently working on my upcoming gospel project which features songs like Unshaken Faith, Within Me, Taste of Worship, Come Holy Spirit, and Osaberima Nyame. Each song carries a message of hope and divine strength. There are also plans for live recordings and collaborations that will blend traditional African sounds with contemporary gospel expressions.”
Through her new release, Kikicalm continues to carve a space for herself in Ghana’s gospel music scene, offering not just melodies, but a ministry of calm, conviction, and connection.
