You recently had the unplugged for your new release. Could you tell us about it?
Jeremiah Gyang: 

My new release is called ‘The Love Album’. It’s a collection of love songs.

It took quite a while for it to come out. Why was that?
The album took quite a while to come out, because besides taking time out to understand better the music industry, I also took time out to get to know myself better and also to develop as a person. For me the journey that led to the release of ‘The Love Album’ was a rediscovery of myself and of my music.
