The Return of Esther Smith: A night of worship and electrifying performances.

After a decade-long absence from the music industry, Esther Smith proved that her hiatus had only deepened her fans’ love for her.

At her maiden music concert, the gospel icon, dressed in a stunning white gown that shimmered like a bridal ensemble, captivated her audience with soul-stirring ministration that left a lasting impact.

She began with a powerful rendition of her hit song “Oyame Ben Ni,” instantly energising the crowd that had gathered at the Perez Chapel on Friday night.

Hundreds of fans, on their feet and singing along, were transported by the nostalgic and uplifting melodies.

With hands raised and faces turned towards the heavens, the audience joined in a chorus of worship, creating a moving and unforgettable atmosphere.

For over an hour and fifteen minutes, Esther Smith, often regarded as the Greatest of All Time (GOAT) in the gospel music industry, delivered nearly 20 of her most beloved songs.

Each performance resonated deeply with the audience, who remained on their feet, eagerly absorbing every note and word.

Songs like “Nipa,” “Wo Ye Kese,” “Wode Me Abafie,” “Odiyasem,” “Onyame Wo Ho,” and “Ma Ensi Me Yie,” accompanied by Esther’s powerful and emotive voice, transformed the venue into a sanctuary of worship, moving some to tears.

Pastor Joe Beecham opened his set with the popular “Ao Yesu,” prompting an outpouring of sanguinity as the audience lifted their hands and voices in praise.

In a performance likened to John the Baptist’s role of preparing the way, Morris Babyface, credited by many as a key figure behind Esther Smith’s rise to fame, delivered a profound set that set the spiritual tone for the night.

With his moving performance of “Maye Nhyira,” he reignited the spirit of worship in the dome, perfectly setting the stage for the evening’s main attraction.
