The Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) has sparked debate with its latest nominations, particularly in the “Best Urban/Contemporary Gospel Song Of The Year” category which is novel. Many are questioning the omission of Joseph Matthew’s hit song “Fear No Evil,” which has ganered impressive numbers and chalked impressive feet in the year of review.
The category according to TGMA is defined, “Best Urban/Contemporary Gospel Song Of The Year” category is designed to recognize songs that blend gospel with elements of R&B, hip-hop, and other pop genres, generating significant public excitement and patronage”. By this definition, “Fear No Evil” seems like a no-brainer for nomination.
“Joseph Matthew’s “Fear No Evil” has not only resonated with audiences but has also achieved impressive numbers, outperforming some nominated songs like, “Call” and “Onwanwani”. The song’s presence on major TV stations in Ghana and Nigeria, as well as its extensive radio airplay across regions, underscores its impact and popularity.
This omission adds to the longstanding concerns about the TGMA’s nomination process, with many accusing the organization of favoritism and neglecting deserving artists. The introduction of new categories like “Best Urban/Contemporary Gospel Song Of The Year” presents an opportunity for the TGMA to showcase a broader range of talent, but it seems like a missed opportunity in this case.
In the meantime, fans can check out Joseph Matthew’s new song, “Love In You” from below.
