Ghana's gospel scene has a new anthem to celebrate as 13-year-old singing sensation Emily Adade Boateng has officially released her latest single, ‘Defender’.
The Takoradi-born prodigy, who has quickly become one of the most compelling young voices in Ghanaian gospel, dropped the single today, July 30, to the excitement of fans across the country and beyond.
‘Defender’ is now available for streaming and download on all major digital platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, Boomplay, Audiomack, YouTube Music and Deezer.
Known for her unique ability to fuse contemporary gospel with rich Ghanaian highlife and choral traditions, Emily brings a fresh yet deeply rooted sound to ‘Defender’. While building a reputation for songs that tackle faith, resilience, and divine protection, this new release raises the bar.
Early listeners describe ‘Defender’ as a bold, spiritually charged anthem that showcases Emily’s signature soaring vocals layered over modern gospel instrumentation — a sound crafted for both intimate personal worship and powerful Sunday morning praise.
