Among them were Randy Abbey, Stephen Appiah, Odartey Lamptey, Prince Tagoe and Harry Zakour. Praye took the audience through enthralling renditions of songs on their current album as well as old ones on their previous albums. That was preceded by performances from some artistes including the sensational gospel singer, Gifty Osei.

At the programme it came to light that EKB Records, management of the young rising Ghanaian diva Becca and Adina, of Stars of the Future fame had taken over the management of the trio. However, the amount involved in this management contract was not readily known.

The group hinted they were now with EKB Records while performing on stage that night, so as to how long the contract would last and the amount involved was not disclosed. At the launch the Chief Executive of EKB Records, Kiki Banson was seen busily working on the sound for his new artistes. This, at least, attested to the fact that his outfit was now working with the artistes.

A source whispered to Beatwaves that footballer Prince Tagoe was behind the deal. The source said the trio’s new album which has some interesting sounds for the X’mas season was produced by Prince Tagoe.

He is said to have purchased the album at a convenient sum and decided to find the group a new management, hence the trio’s signing on to EKB Records.
