The Cavemen. on ‘Love & Highlife’ as an extension of their debut album

Embed —

This album is definitely an extension of ‘Roots.’ Most of the songs were made in lockdown and what I personally noticed is that with ‘Roots’ we went into a space where we wanted to find ourselves, you know? Self-awareness and all that. What we realised is that we as The Cavemen., what we have to give this world really is spread love and highlife, and that’s what has brought about the second album. It’s been beyond our expectations ever since.

For you to know where you’re going you need to know where you’re coming from, and studying Fela was part of that for me, so trust me we spent time listening to his music, spent time learning about him and reading about him, so the influence on our music is really immense. We are glad to live at a time where we can actually combine that history with his grandson, and make highlife and afrobeat the forefront of what you’re hearing now.

It’s very spiritual, very spiritual because now we’re very certain that the ancestors are backing us. Everything is connecting together.

The Cavemen. tell LootLove their dream collaborations

LootLove: So which artists would you like to bring into your sound? Which artists do you want to bring into your world?
The Cavemen.: There are a lot, but we’ll give you a few of them…
LootLove: Give me 4.
The Cavemen.: Salif Keita, Angélique Kidjo…
LootLove: Yoooooooo!
The Cavemen.: We’d like to do Wizkid, and Fatoumata Diawara.
LootLove: Oh nice, nice. That’s dope.

As one of the authoritative voices in gospel music from the Obuasi area in the Ashanti Region of Ghana, Joshua Ahenkorah has blazed the trail with a double single release; Boa Me & Brood Over Me.

As an ever ready worshipper with songs that draw you closer to the throne room, Joshua Ahenkorah is showing no signs of stalling as he’s out with another single “Boa Me”.

Literally translated to mean, “Help Me” the song seeks to attract the attention of God’s Spirit who is also called ‘our helper in times of need’ to come into our situation and calm the raging waters of life bent on overwhelming and drowning us.

Kindly watch Boa Me here:

Let this solemn insertion be your last lifeline to the unseen battles waged at night that no one sees and understands! God Does! Call on Him now!

Furthermore, the case isn’t any different with his latest insertion dubbed, ‘Brood Over Me’ a desperate and genuine hearts cry to God’s Holy Spirit to come have His way in all and sundry who would prayerfully digest this sound.

The live recorded contemporary gospel single is just what you need to create the solemn and divine atmosphere for an encounter with your maker! Soak on!

Nii Steppa in “Party Time” mood on new single

Done over a hard-hitting in-house production, Nii Steppa’s menacing tone and lyrics echo takes on an all partying song by an enormous wave of ‘Party Time’. Stream or download ‘Party Time’ across all major digital platforms here: https://songwhip.com/niisteppa/party-time

The JN records artist has never been this articulate and imposing. He’s very confident in his approach on the 3-minute party song, showcasing a braggadocio that’s perfect in depicting.

As such, ‘Party Time’ is absolutely gripping, mostly thanks to the above but also how effortless the rapper is in turning this melancholy into a booming street sound. There’s simply some magic in how Steppa goes about the whole song, and we love it.

‘Party Time’ was produced and mixed & mastered by Gigzbeatz.

Israel Maweta breaks 7-years’ silence with new song “I No Go Blame You”

Israel Maweta breaks 7-years' silence with new song “I No Go Blame You”

Celebrated Ghanaian Musician/Producer, Israel Maweta touches on a very uncommon topic many fear to openly discuss. In recent times with many ladies going into liposuction and body shaming others for not having flat tummies, one can imagine how challenging and difficult it is with women, especially (nursing) mothers who have undergone varied body transformations due to child birth(s) or other health conditions.

Stream Song on Digital Stores here: https://ditto.fm/inogoblameyou

Liposuction as many women would opt for it as a choice, on the other hand however, not many women even if capable and having the required finance or resources can go through it due to anxiety or fear. On this premise, Israel Maweta flips the script to rather appreciate women who have developed big protruding bellies and stretched marks as a result of creating family or health conditions. He drops a song around this topic to eulogize women especially mothers, wives and on the large, the feminine populace for that matter, hence the title “I No Go Blame You”.

“I No Go Blame You”, executively produced by Elorm Beenie was created, mixed and mastered by Accra-based Ghanaian Producer, CaskeysOnit.

The song is a groovy urbanized Afrobeats production with a touch of Amapiano and choral influence; a multiplicity of indigenous African ensembles that fits into every playlist with clean resonating lyrics. It’s a song that can play on both radio, television, online and outdoor events. A good song that fits weddings too.

He is a Veteran African Traditional Musician who straddles through varied African sounds spanning a career over 2 decades. He has explored different genres over the period from Afrobeats, Borborbor, Agbadza, Kinka, Gospel, Reggae, Appellations (Spoken Word), Zibo, Asafo Music, Zigi, just to name a few.

Israel holds a very enviable catalogue with his career which counts at least 20 Albums. As an Evangelist if The Gospel, he is more aligned with the Christian faith but steps beyond the religious boundaries to exploit his music talent across varied circles within the African Traditional Music he is also equally identified with.

His latest song “I No Go Blame You” is a comeback song after his almost 7-year hiatus with song releases: the song is a lead single to many other singles die for release from his stable this year 2023.
