The album consists of 17 tracks that showcase the celebrated Ghanaian artist’s ear for the Afro-dancehall sound and beyond. Stonebwoy’s ability to code-switch and tinker with different genres shows itself in the album, underscoring the singer’s distinct story-telling ability.
Earlier in February, Stonebwoy released “More of You,” a lyrical love song and a clarion call coaxing the woman of his dreams to open up more. He kept the momentum going when he released “Far Away” a month later, a rhythmic, effortless, fusion of amapiano and dancehall.
Since his rise to fame in 2012, Stonebwoy — born Livingstone Etse Satekla — has been making waves in the music industry, putting Africa firmly on the musical map through his international touring, high-profile collaborations, and chart-topping singles.
Over the course of his career, the award-winning superstar has collaborated with renowned artists like Keri Hilson, Sean Paul, Trey Songz, Burna Boy, and Alpha Blondie, among others. In many ways, Stonebwoy has become a connoisseur of music, experimenting with different sounds to pin down what exactly works for him. One would describe his sound as ever-evolving, as it often combines his Ghanaian roots with international influences, making it appealing to a global audience. Although he has come a long way since his Grade 1 days, and has since released several successful albums, one thing is certain: he continues to push musical boundaries and put Ghana on the map.
