AK Songstress: The New Dancehall Queen

AK SONGSTRESS, one of the most sensational and inspirational dancehall artistes in Ghana, has announced her presence again with another hit single titled ‘Machine Man’, featuring Stonebwoy.

Known in the music scene as Dancehall Queen, her latest single is yet to receive massive airplay and would of course grab the attention of all music lovers throughout the country and elsewhere.

The single, ‘Machine Man,’ has inspiring and soul-touching lyrics meant to lift up even the most despondent individual.

Known in private life as Akosua Kwakye, the dancehall artiste is one of the few talented young dancehall artistes making impact on the music scene, and has been consistent on the local music scene for some time now.

Her presence in the music industry has been welcomed by music fans who have listened to her songs and watched her music videos on TV. She is one of the few talented music icons whose talent goes beyond the borders of Ghana.

AK, who always looks determined to win glory internationally, has promised a journey of no return, adding that her unique style and the zeal to achieve will get her there.

Her consistency as an artiste has made a tremendous impact on the lives of her fans, motivating and inspiring many music lovers who believe her songs are very good.

AK’s songs have unique features in terms of beat and style, which is a new element in our current music dispensation.

The Dancehall Queen, during her live performance at the MTN 4Syte Music Video Awards held last year in November, demonstrated her musical competency when she took the stage and treated the crowd to an unforgettable performance.

She performed some of her popular hit songs to the delight of the entire crowd, winning the hearts of a large number of music fans with her exquisite stagecraft, singing and dance skills.

According to some of the organisers of the event, AK was a blast; the songs she performed were all that she needed to make a statement about the quality of her songs. She performed commendably, causing the entire crowd to remain on their feet till the end of her performance.

After her splendid performance, most people agreed that AK had “arrived musically”, and wanted to know whether she would perform at this year’s Ghana Music Awards night.

The beautiful and sexy young artiste, who is on the Paradise Entertainment label, embraced her musical talent at a very tender age.

Paradise Entertainment is known for building talented music icons into international brands.

According to her management team, led by Duke Banson, “We could make the world stand up and notice Africa in a different light, culturally.

AK Songstress’ talent is amazing. I think she is getting the right opportunity to showcase it.”

AK Songstress, who won the Reggae and Dancehall Discovery Award 2014, has a number of hit songs including ‘Rudegyal Bad gyal’, ‘Ghetto Cry’ featuring Sizzla, ‘Dangerous’ featuring 4×4 and ‘Rock Ur Body’ featuring Patoranking, among others.

AK’s songs are easy-to-sing-along tunes with immense commercial potential. They are set to create stiff competition for established artistes, particularly those already making waves in the music field.

Opinions about the songs differ, but listening to the lyrics carefully and the kind of message she is sending to the youth, one would easily be motivated to sing along.
