    Twicy revisits COVID-era message of hope with new video

    Ghanaian singer Twicy has released a new video for “Hope,” a song he originally made during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Released in 2020, “Hope” was created as an encouraging record during a period when the pandemic had disrupted everyday life around the world. Twicy described the song as something positive for listeners during the uncertainty of that period.

    The new video gives the song another visual release, several years after its original connection to the pandemic.

    Twicy, born Ernest Bright Acquah, is from Agona Swedru in Ghana’s Central Region. He has released songs including “Lotto”, “Live It Up”, “Monalisa” and “All Over Me”, and released his debut album Far Away in 2023. His career has also included two wins at the 2024 Central Music Awards, where he was named Artist of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year.

    “Hope” is out now with its accompanying video.
