Akwaboah – Slow Down

Ghanaian singer, songwriter and instrumentalist Akwaboah takes full control of the creative process on “Slow Down”, a song from his fifth studio album, Spirit. Released on 11 November 2026 under Akwaboah Music, the recording highlights his abilities beyond singing, with the musician also credited as producer and keyboardist.

Unlike some of the collaborations on Spirit, “Slow Down” features Akwaboah alone. He handles the vocals and background vocals, giving listeners a recording built around his own musical contributions.

The title “Slow Down” introduces an expression often associated with patience, reflection and taking time before making important decisions. Although the title can carry different meanings depending on the lyrics, it provides an interesting starting point for listeners exploring the song.

One of the notable aspects of this recording is Akwaboah’s involvement in its production. While other songs on Spirit feature producers such as Collins Sarpong, Prince Donkor and PP Blaq, “Slow Down” credits Akwaboah himself as the producer.

His keyboard contribution is another important detail. Akwaboah has long been associated with piano and keyboard performances, and his instrumental background remains an important part of his musical identity.

The official credits identify Gladstorm Akwaboah as the composer, lyricist and songwriter. Together with his production, keyboard and vocal credits, this makes “Slow Down” one of the recordings on the album where he takes responsibility for several major creative roles.

The song belongs to an album that explores family heritage, faith, identity and personal experiences. Through Spirit, Akwaboah continues developing his musical direction while recognising the influence of Ghanaian music traditions on his career.

His ability to combine songwriting, instrumental performance and production demonstrates the range of skills involved in his work as a musician. Rather than limiting his participation to the vocal performance, he contributes directly to the composition and production of the recording.

For listeners familiar with Akwaboah’s previous releases, “Slow Down” offers another opportunity to experience his work as both a performer and a producer.

The song is available alongside the other recordings on Spirit, adding a solo performance to an album that also features collaborations with Minister OJ, Fameye and Wendy Shay.
