Ghanaian afro-pop, reggae & dancehall superstar, Stonebwoy, out with a brand-new banger entitled “Activate”. Joining him on this much anticipated anthem is Nigerian Afrobeats superstar, Davido, who delivered a warm verse over a MasterGarzy production and a high energy, fun environment filled, colorful set of visuals from YawSkyface.

‘Activate’ is a hit and another promising presentation from the Afrobeats community. The visual representation, shot at the Safari Hills Resort, Ghana, follows the two artists coming together on a golf course, as they exchange some words.

As the song starts, the pair come together, dancing and performing their song and having a great time. In every scene, people are dancing as Davido and Stonebwoy are poolside, surrounded by a plethora of beautiful women. It’s kind of wild to think that a song from these two artists wouldn’t be really good, and ‘Activate’ certainly checks all the boxes of what good music is.

Davido’s ad-libs and shows his evolution as an artiste and Stonebwoy’s energy in spitting his dancehall lines boast of a never-ending creativity. The explosive coming together of these two music greats, each in their individual genre, makes this sound a masterpiece.

Tomorrow, October 23, North London producer and artist Wauve, aka Robeal Yohannes, will release his debut EP Shade. Although he describes himself as a producer first and a singer a distant second, if the EP’s new single “Pamela”, which features Afrobeats stars ZieZie and Stonebwoy is anything to go by, we can’t help but feel like he’s being a bit hard on himself.

Having found a deeper connection to his Eritrean roots as he’s grown up, Wauve’s music is leaning more and more into that East African influence, taking pentatonic scales and homegrown rhythms and blending them into the traditionally West African Afrobeats sound. Add to that a touch of the R&B and trap that first inspired him to make music and the result is light and breezy sound that takes Afrobeats into new territories that should probably be explored a bit more.

Hit play at the top to see Wauve, ZieZie and Stonebwoy cut loose in the barbers while they try to catch the attention of the titular heroine.

Multiple BRIT Award winner Emeli Sandé today releases new song More of You – an infectious and unique musical collaboration with Ghanaian recording artiste Stonebwoy and British producer/songwriter Nana Rogues. Stream audio here: https://slinky.to/MoreOfYou

Released on new Mancunian record label Sengge Zangbo, the irresistible track plays out as a timeless ode to love, superbly capturing the sacred moment of falling head over heels for someone you’ve waited your whole life to meet.

Written by Sandé following an inspired meeting with Nana Rogues whilst out in LA, the songs heavenly melodies, captivating energy and glorious influence of new wave, afro soul fuse together to create an uplifting anthem that the whole world so desperately needs to hear.

“I was falling in love…” Emeli says candidly when explaining the origins and sentiment behind the track. “And I wanted to sum up the feeling that creeps up on you and catches you by surprise.”

“First the feelings are subtle, a strange sensation of missing someone you consider a friend which starts to build. In this song I wanted to capture the crossover moment when you realise the subtle feelings you once perhaps denied have now been realised into something undeniable you want to shout from the rooftops. You can’t get enough, you can’t share their love and want the whole world to know how beautiful they are to you.”

“’More of You’ is a big record!” Stonebwoy adds. “It’s been amazing connecting with the legendary Emeli, via my brother Nana Rogues… this is a great cultural moment with three super-sonic creatives on one masterpiece.”
