5 Bernice Offei Songs Worth Revisiting after her death
Throughout her career, she has released several albums, among them *Hold On*, We Are Victors, Me Kosu, *Grateful* and Life. The 2007 album Life brought her major recognition at the Ghana Music Awards, where she took home Best Female Vocal Performance and Songwriter of the Year.
Bernice Offei releases Hold on
"Hold On" is arguably her most recognisable track. Built around a simple but enduring message of encouragement, the song tells believers to keep trusting God even when circumstances become overwhelming.
Years after its release, it continues to rank among her most-streamed recordings on both Apple Music and Spotify, and for many listeners it has become less a song and more a source of comfort during difficult moments.
