Gospel industry evolving beyond tradition – Mabel Okyere

Ghanaian gospel musician Mabel Okyere has praised the growing transformation within the gospel music industry, noting that the genre is moving beyond outdated norms and embracing modern, creative expressions.
Speaking in a recent media interview on Accra-based Number 1 FM, Miss Okyere highlighted the improved quality of gospel music production in Ghana, especially in music videos.
“The gospel industry is expanding; we no longer pose next to flowers for music videos,” she quipped, drawing attention to how far the industry has come in terms of visual storytelling and professionalism.
According to her, the evolution is not just in aesthetics but also in the sound, branding, and global reach of Ghanaian gospel music.
“We are becoming more intentional about excellence in every aspect — from lyrics and sound engineering to video quality and live performances,” she said.
Mabel Okyere, known for her soulful voice and inspirational songs, commended both established and emerging gospel artists for embracing innovation while staying true to their spiritual message.
She also urged stakeholders in the industry to continue investing in gospel music and to support platforms that promote gospel talents both locally and internationally.
“The world is watching, and we have a powerful message to share. Let’s present it with the excellence it deserves,” she added
