Kinaata’s Things Fall Apart can’t be called a gospel song
Veteran gospel musician Agnes Opoku Agyemang is
not convinced Highlife musician Kofi Kinaata’s
award-winning song Things Fall Apart can be
immediately described as a gospel song.

She said it might have been an inspiration Kofi
Kinaata got while he was a little boy in Sunday
School.



In an interview with Tony Best on Akoma FM’s
Kwantenpong Drive on Thursday, March 11, Agnes
Opoku Agyemang, however, indicated that it’s not
too surprising to see secular musicians do gospel
songs as well.

“A lot of secular musicians have confessed in
their interviews that their music career started
in church so it’s no shocking to see them do
gospel songs once [in] a while because there is
always some level of knowledge about Christ they
were taught whiles in Sunday School.


“Kofi Kinaata, for instance, might have been
inspired to do ‘Things Fall Apart’ because of
his knowledge about Christ whiles he was perhaps
in Sunday School and that does not necessarily
make him a Gospel musician or his song until he
profess to be Christian,” Agnes said.

Responding to whether or not the lifestyles of
current gospel musicians reflect the messages in
their songs, the musician opined that even though
she is not in the position to judge anyone, if
anyone claims to be Christian or Gospel musician,
their lives must correlate with the Gospel they
preach in their songs.
