Not many people know diva Dela of TV3 Mentor fame is out with a precursor to her long awaited ‘girl talk’ album. Recorded on Okyeame Quophi’s Emklan Entertainment records label, Dela’s debut promises to be a groundbreaking one. The promo copy of the singles released contains six powerful songs. Watch Odo by Dela
The first song is a funky one with a reggaeton titled ‘fever’. Fever vava veva, let me see your dancing shoes around me; fever vav veva, baby let me feel your hands around me; Dela sings. Definitely one for the clubs and streets; ‘fever’ brings in a dance fever vibe in a way peculiar to Dela.
Odo is that slow song that has gained some airplay on radio and TV. The music video leaves fans with indelible visuals of its subject matter. Dela sang about the ups and downs of love. If light could turn to darkness and new turn to old, then know that love could also go sour. Sometimes you’re up sometimes you’re down, that’s the way love goes; that’s the way the song goes.
Being a sweet girl from the Volta region of Ghana, Dela did a sweet song for her sweet dada (mother in ewe). The tune talks about how mothers work hard to see their kids through life. Dela wants to do everything she can in return to support her sweet mother who has cared so much for her. Your love means so much to me, I’ll never cease loving you; Dela sang.
‘Mate aka noso’ is your typical contemporary Highlife song. Back-up vocalists who listen to it will love the harmonies in the song. Dela sings fantastic lead vocals and the producer does well with his skill on the keyboard. It’s a song that helps define the title of the album, ‘girl talk’. She sings about being hooked to a lover who makes her feel her best, the king of her heart.
Other songs on the promo CD are ‘last bread’ and ‘show bribi’. Look out for Dela.
