Ada Ehi: What Inspired My Song, ‘Another Miracle’
Nigeria Gospel singer, Ada Ogochukwu Ehi simply known by her stage name, Ada Ehi, has released a new song titled, “Another Miracle”, a song she said, was inspired through thoughts and meditations of her heart.
Featuring Dena Mwana, gospel singer and composer from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), “Another Miracle”, the award-winning songwriter and mother of two, in this interview with MARY NNAH, says is a statement and affirmation of faith and a response to life’s questions
Tell us about the inspiration behind “Another Miracle”?
The song is a statement and affirmation of faith and a response to life’s questions. What inspired the song were the thoughts and meditations of my heart. These are the things I constantly think about and respond with in my everyday life and that is what inspired the song. It is a statement of my faith in life’s questions and difficult situations.
How long did it take to come up with the song?
It was not a quick studio writing session. Dena Mwana had come for RockFest 2022 and she stayed back because we knew we wanted to work on a song together and create something that represented both our cultures. So, we headed to the studio, I called the producer Preach Zagi who happens to also be my guitarist and we played around with the beat and got the melody. It was like a praise break session although we didn’t have the lyrics yet. So, after she left, I started working on the lyrics based on the everyday meditations of my heart and spirit. With bad news everywhere, the lyrics ‘I will sing another miracle, I will see uncountable testimonies and my song will remain glory hallelujah’ was my response to all the negativity around. So, the theme was already known. Right from time my theme has always been about lifting people’s spirits based on the instructions I received from the Spirit of God several years ago. People will experience the lifting power of God when they listen to my music. So that’s how I started working on the chorus and verse structure and then sent it back to Dena Mwana.
Why the choice of Dena Mwana in this song?
As I stated earlier, Dena and I had always known we were going to work on a song that fuses both our cultures and the opportunity finally presented itself and that was how Another Miracle was created.
What was it like working with Mwana?
Dena Mwana is a celebrated singer and minister of the gospel which I have long admired. So, it was a wonderful experience working with her on this special Victory song. Her distinctive style in her local dialect added more colour to the song which I am grateful for.
Do you see you both collaborating on more songs in the future?
Yes of course. I am grateful to God for the opportunity to work with Dena on this song and I look forward to collaborating on more songs with her.
What particular message are you sending to your numerous fan with ” Another Miracle”?
First, I am grateful for another sound being birthed through me and excited because I know it’s going to lift people. And like I stated earlier, the theme and message is Victory. It is another Finished work of Christ song and that is always my theme.
The spirit of God said to me, when people listen to my music, they will experience the lifting power, so listeners are going to experience the lifting power of the Holy Ghost. It will be a response to whatever situation they’re going through. This is another Victory song for people out there.
