RCEE speaks about new song, major reception

Speaking about his new song, RCEE told YEN.com.gh:

"It has been months of working tirelessly on every process on the song, and now fans can also get to enjoy it. We knew we had a great product, and we also worked hard to generate content that matches the energy, and thank God, the reaction has been super great."

Gradually, Ghana is seemingly heading towards a highlife renaissance where its new musicians are feeding off a never-ending high from the strings and melodic drum patterns that defined the country's contribution to the world years past.

For instance, Amaarae's cosign for RCEE comes at a time when the singer herself is on a mission to flex her loyalty to the golden genre that produced Ghana's biggest music exports.

In a previous interview with Pitchfork about her new album, Black Star, Amaarae said:

"For as long as I’ve made music, fusion has been my strength, and I think this comes to full fruition on S.M.O. The song takes inspiration from Ghanaian ’80s highlife trailblazer Ata Kak and blends it with a mean Detroit club bass, a drum roll akin to both Magic System’s 1er Gaou and Michael Jackson’s Rock With You, and an infectious zouk melody that sounds like a steel pan lipsing an evil synth."
