Ghanaian singer-songwriter Abiana is set to release her three-track musical and visual project, 3rd Harmony, on Saturday, November 14 across major digital streaming platforms.
Presented as a “Symphony of Now and Forever” in the release announcement and on the project’s official pre-save page, 3rd Harmony is divided into three conceptual movements: NOW, BECOMING and FOREVER.
The project’s opening section, NOW, focuses on living in the present and accepting one’s identity. BECOMING explores growth, transformation and self-discovery, while FOREVER considers legacy and relationships intended to withstand the passage of time.
Each movement is represented by one of the project’s three songs: What We Do for Love, One X One and We Will Always Be Together.
Ghanaian producer He-Brew produced and mixed What We Do for Love and also produced One X One. The third track, We Will Always Be Together, was produced by Nana Kofi, who works professionally under the name Finurse.
The recording also includes live performances from bassist Dangrahl, guitarists Ebenezer Oware and Emmanuel Kyei Baffour Adjei, and keyboardist Kwesi Turkson. Additional backing vocals were provided by Rigwell Ofori.
Abiana describes the project’s musical direction as “Soul Life”, a style that brings together highlife, soul, neo-soul and contemporary African rhythms. The release follows her continued advocacy for greater media support for female musicians.
Born Eldah Naa Abiana Dickson, the singer won Best Female Vocal Performance at the 2021 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards for her song Adun Lei.
She released her debut album, Alemle Lala, in 2021, followed by the Taste of Africa EP in 2023. Abiana has also received four Telecel Ghana Music Awards nominations.
Her recent performances include an appearance at 3FM’s Afro Connect concert in September.
