“Paradise” written and produced by multiple award-winning Ghanaian musician and producer Kuami Eugene of Rock Star Made It fame has enjoyed massive rotation and airplay since its release recently.

The video directed and shot by Cassidy is a reliving of the lyrics of the song which urges ladies to give their male partners the treatment of a lifetime.

“Paradise” released under Oracle Entertainment, is a tale of two lovers who are geared for the rollercoaster journey into the future regardless of the challenges.

According to Mysstell, love is not one-sided, and it is about time ladies make their male partners feel special, adding that “this means going all out for him like he will do for you regardless.”

“You need to let them know you love them, they deserve to be taken to special places, let them see the best part of you, take them to your paradise,” she said.

On Wednesday, 27th March 2024, the state council headed by Togbe Afede XIV received the delegation of The New Force movement on the Volta region phase of their nationwide listening tour which was welcomed with rousing hospitality by large crowds of various gatherings.                                        

Expressing immense gratitude for the warm reception he and his team had been given, the leader of The New Force emphasized that the resources of the Volta region have over the years been very severely underutilized. Highlighting this fact in his official address to the chiefs and elders, Nana Kwame Bediako stressed that the Volta region is central to job creation in the nation of Ghana, and therefore a top priority in his vision for national development and industrialization, one which by all means has to be made a reality so as to secure national industrialization and economic development goals.

In the Zongo Community in Volta Region, on Wednesday, 27th March 2024, Nana Kwame Bediako paid a visit to the Islamic Community as part of a regional listening tour in the holy month of Ramadan in an effort to solidarise with them in the performance of their annual religious duties. At the gathering, the leader of The New Force movement highlighted the fact that all over the country, there are important Zongo populations and that each one of them is to be meaningfully considered as a pillar in the stability and development of the country.

Nana Kwame Bediako on Wednesday, 27th March 2024 made a stop at the Ho Technical University. In his address to students and stakeholders in the education sector, he underlined the fact that the current remuneration for teachers is not at all satisfactory and that it needs to be properly revised. Given the emphasis on industrialization in his vision, the leader of The New Force movement assured his audiences that on his watch priorities for education in the entire country will be set and as well a focus on skills training and skills development for the youth.

On Thursday, 28th March 2024, the staff and patients of the St. Joseph Hospital in Effiduase Koforidua saw an early Easter surprise this year when they were visited by Nana Kwame Bediako, leader of The New Force movement on a stop during his 16 regional listening tour. Joined by his wife Mrs. Ruby Bediako and welcomed by scores of excited youth and other community members in white campaign T-shirts, the leader of The New Force movement celebrated the staff of the hospital. Making a donation of some toiletries, water, baby clothing and food items to the maternity ward of the hospital, the leader of The New Force was met with joy by mothers and health workers at the ward.

In a brief address after a tour of the hospital facilities together with the hospital administration officers, the leader of The New Force movement said “… the women of this country are doing so well. I was in Ho Market yesterday and saw a lot of developments by women. We are in the hospital today and again I am seeing the work of women. The future of this country will be mostly based on what women are bringing. I want to encourage all of you to keep doing what you are doing.”

Elated by the presence of the leader of The New Force, several of the new mothers happily announced to onlookers that their babies had been held by the “future president of Ghana”.

At the lab facilities of the hospital, Nana Kwame Bediako promised to help in extending development to their grounds and hospital equipment and resources in general. On behalf of both patients and staff, Dr. Collins Osei Kissi, Medical Director of the St. Joseph Hospital, expressed gratitude for the visit and also the various kind gestures of The New Force movement.

Herman Suede kicks off his 2024 release run with a gripping tale of love and tension. Following up from his EP release “A Wonderful Time” in November 2023 focusing mainly on songs that kindle feelings of enjoyment, joy, and fun, the young artist is back to talking about romance. Herman Suede is never one to shy away from creating art around the intricate dynamics involved in the process of love and courtship. Throughout Herman’s catalogue, he has always been vocal about the ways in which attraction and love is able to leave him disoriented, act out-of-character, and even leave him over-committed to another individual. 

“How Dare You” is a unique release from Herman as it reframes love into a kind of pain and discomfort, in which he questions his love interest’s audacity for having so much control over him with her beauty. He describes the feeling of losing himself, drifting away from other things which should take priority in his life, because he is so enamored with her.

Produced by G.V Made It, an 18-year-old Ghanaian producer, “How Dare You” is an Afrobeats song, with soothing guitar riffs and licks scattered throughout. The drum patterns and instruments are reminiscent of cultural dance folk tunes, and all these factors come together to create a feeling of new-age highlife seen through the eyes of a Gen-Z artist. The beat compliments the song by giving it a jovial bounce to accentuate the joy that love brings, while Herman’s lyrics provide the tension and overwhelming nature of love that occurs internally with lovers. Herman also includes a popular Ga chant in the chorus of the song from the Homowo festival, a celebration to denote the end of hunger, which in this case, is a celebration of the end of not experiencing this kind of joy and excitement for an extended time. 

“How Dare You” will be released on the 24^th of April, and will surely be a song for lovers all around the world, who share the same feelings as Herman when gazing upon their partners, love interests, or even casual flings. This release will be the first of a series of releases from the artist, so fans can expect this year to be an exciting journey with Herman Suede.
