Female singer and converted ‘born again’ Christian, Irene Logan is set to release her first Gospel song after giving her life to Christ.
The former Highlife/ Hiplife sensational singer of Liberia descent after more than a year since becoming a ‘born again’ Christian seems to be ready to preach the Word of God to the rest of the world through her music.
Irene in a press statement revealed that all is set for her first Gospel song titled ‘More’ which is a “prophetic worship song about the purpose and yearning for more of Jesus Christ”.
More so, the song is set to be available on all digital streaming and downloading platforms from Sunday 29th August 2021.
That notwithstanding, her fans and other celebrities have taken to social media to congratulate her. According to them, they have waited so long for her to come out with her gospel music. Some also pledged their undying support to her whether she decides to be a secular artist or gospel artist.
Irene Logan is best noted for her hit song which features Ghanaian rapper, Asem titled ‘Run Away’ which was released in 2009.
It is worth mentioning that she won the maiden edition of the television reality show ‘Starz Of The Future’ in 2006.
She later teamed up with songstress, Efya to begin a powerful girl’s duo in the Ghanaian music scene known as ‘Irene and Jane’. However, the duo didn’t last for long as they later broke off to become solo artists.

Irene Logan opens up on her cigarette addiction, depression
It can be recalled that Irene Logan in 2020 opened up on her cigarette addiction at the prime of her career.
She revealed that despite her achievements in the music industry as a young singer, she suffered from insomnia during that time.
In an interview, Irene Logan disclosed she had a strong sense that she had taken the wrong path as an artist.
According to her, for a period of about 8 years, her growth as an artist became rather stunted soon after releasing the hit track ‘Run Away’.
The Lynx Entertainment act said she was thrown into a state of confusion leading to months of depression and later finding some semblance of solace in smoking.
“It was almost like the Holy Spirit was chastising me for the choice that I was taking. That manifested through sleepless nights…I can’t explain the feeling. It was like my spirit was rejecting something. I knew but I was running away from it.
“It went from a few sticks to a pack [of cigarette] then to two packs and it just became my addiction… I was very depressed. The feeling of not fitting into that [secular] space got me depressed”.

Irene Logan narrating the turning point of her life disclosed that she had an encounter with God one evening and that changed everything.
“I can’t explain how I was feeling but I was at my lowest. And right there and then, I heard this song [by Shirley Caesar titled ‘He’ll Do It Again’] in my mind. I have sung that song so many times but this time the words were louder.
“I broke down crying… I just realized I had had an encounter with God. I got up and I felt better”.

Irene Logan also revealed that she was tempted to go back to smoking while on a visit to the United States of America.
Thankfully, she was asked to show her identification card before she could purchase the cigarette, which she did not have on her at that time. The gospel minister believes that this was God’s miraculous Hand that prevented her from going back to her addiction.
