A few eyebrows have been raised after the nominees for the 2019 Ghana National Gospel Music Awards were announced.

Secular musicians were not expected to be on the list but with the creation of a new category called 'Hybrid', the likes of Dancehall artiste Shatta Wale and hiplife artiste Kofi Kinaata all earned nominations.

Chief Executive of Global Expert Recovery, Peter Kwabena Dwobeng, during the launch in November indicated that a new category, ‘Hybrid Gospel Song of the Year’ has been introduced to reward musicians who are known for all other genres but have works in the gospel vein.
