Ghanaian singer-songwriter Abiana will release a three-track musical and visual project titled ‘3rd Harmony’ on Saturday, November 14 across major digital streaming platforms.
Described in her release announcement and on the official pre-save page for ‘3rd Harmony’ as a “Symphony of Now and Forever”, the EP is structured around three conceptual movements: ‘NOW’, ‘BECOMING’ and ‘FOREVER’.
The opening movement, ‘NOW’, centres on living in the present and embracing self-identity, while ‘BECOMING’, examines personal growth, transformation and self-discovery, and ‘FOREVER’ reflects on legacy and relationships built to endure over time.
Those three chapters correspond to the project’s three tracks:
- ‘What We Do for Love’
- ‘One X One’
- ‘We Will Always Be Together’
Two Ghanaian producers handled the studio work on the EP: He-Brew produced and mixed ‘What We Do for Love’ and produced ‘One X One’, while Nana Kofi, known professionally as Finurse, produced ‘We Will Always Be Together’.
Live instrumentation and backing vocals on the project feature bassist Dangrahl, guitarists Ebenezer Oware and Emmanuel Kyei Baffour Adjei, keyboardist Kwesi Turkson and additional vocalist Rigwell Ofori.
Abiana, who has consistently advocated stronger media support for female musicians, describes the sound on the release as “Soul Life”, fusing highlife, soul, neo-soul and contemporary African rhythms.
Born Eldah Naa Abiana Dickson, the vocalist won Best Female Vocal Performance at the 2021 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards for ‘Adun Lei’.
She released her debut album ‘Alemle Lala’ in 2021 and the ‘Taste of Africa’ EP in 2023. She has also earned four Telecel Ghana Music Awards nominations and performed at 3FM’s Afro Connect concert in September.
