Q&A: Jagged Edge’s new album celebrates love, longevity and brotherhood
One of the most iconic groups of modern R&B, Jagged Edge — Richard Wingo, Kyle Norman, lead singers (and identical twins) Brian and Brandon Casey — is back Friday with their 11th studio album, “All Original Parts: Vol. 1.” The title of the 15-track project points to the group’s solidarity: They’ve never broken up or switched original members. “The love is actually genuinely real. We really care about each other’s well-being,” Wingo said. “I guess a lot of groups, they really didn’t have that. Love will keep you together.” The “Where the Party At” artists say “Vol. 1” is the first of three they plan to release this year. But the men behind classic songs like “Promise” and “He Can’t Love You” say while the sonics and even subject matter of R&B have changed since their first hit single in 1997, they’re still committed to telling stories about romance and relationships.

I’m disappointed in Mahama for appointing Maame Efua as GTA CEO instead of Abeiku Santana - MC Yeboah
Entertainment pundit MC Yaa Yeboah has expressed dissatisfaction with John Dramani Mahama's decision to appoint Marilyn Maame Efua Houadjeto as the new CEO of the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA). In a discussion on ‘United Showbiz’ on February 2, 2025, MC Yaa Yeboah said she was surprised when she first heard of the appointment, stating that Marilyn Maame Efua Houadjeto is not widely known in the tourism sector. She emphasised that Abeiku Santana has a stronger profile for that position than Maame Efua Houadjeto "When I saw the appointment, I was asking myself who she was because I was trying to get bits and pieces of information about her... Also, I don't know how much of a role she has played in the tourism sector. I was disappointed when I heard she was appointed because I was expecting Abeiku Santana to head this sector. "This is no secret among industry players. The former boss of GTA did a great job, and Abeiku has made an impact in the sector," she said.

Nigerian Gospel Singer Pita compares gospel music support in Ghana and Nigeria
Nigerian gospel singer Pita has highlighted the differences in support for gospel music between Ghana and Nigeria. During an interview with Doreen Avio on Daybreak Hitz, Pita expressed admiration for Ghana’s supportive environment for gospel music. “That’s one of the things I love about Ghana. Ghana is a country that really supports the gospel. In Nigeria, it’s a little bit different to get corporate sponsorship for gospel stuff, because they keep saying it’s a secular nation, we don’t do this. But here, I see some brands put their names to gospel stuff for us in the gospel space. In Nigeria, it’s a challenge,” he said.
