Ghanaian Gospel musician Diana Hamilton has released a new single which features Nigerian singer, Mercy Chinwo.
The much-awaited single, titled ‘The Lord’s Doing’ was released on January 15, 2023, receiving an outpouring of positive reviews.
Despite having distinctive styles, Diana Hamilton and Mercy Chinwo worked seamlessly together on this new single impressing fans yet again.
Speaking in an interview on ‘News Day’ yesterday, the ‘Adom’ hitmaker shared fond memories of how an incident that occurred during her secondary school days in Ghana National College inspired her new song ‘The Doing of the Lord‘.
She recalled how her school mother back in secondary school lured her when she was a fresher into the hands of her seniors who nearly raped her.
“I went to Ghana National and it was an interco and a sixth former sold me out to some big boys and it took the hand of God not to have been raped and I look at that and it was the doing of the Lord which snatched me out of there and I was that close,” she said.
The 2021 VGMA Artiste of the Year winner narrated how she miraculously found herself on the streets of Kotokraba-Cape Coast after she had been carried away by her seniors.
“As a fresher, I followed them by the time I realised one was in front of me and another behind me and I was in the middle then one opened the door and there was another girl so I thought it was two ladies and two boys going somewhere.
“The next thing I saw was the one in front opening the door to a car sat in and the one behind me urged me to sit and I sat and the other guy also sat in, the next thing I heard was the other girl said ‘ɛneɛ mo mbaabai ooo’ [then goodbye], she left.”
She continued, “By the time I realised I was in Cape Coast-Kotokraba in a funny area. It took God to give an SS1 girl the courage to tell upper sixth formers I will not enter this house,” she told Naa Ashorkor on ‘New Day’.
According to her, her school mother urged her not to report to any authority after she told her about the incident.
Diana Hamilton, for this reason, ascribes her favourite verse in the bible to “The Lord is my Shepherd”.
