A bit of folk, combined with soul, and a bit of an Afrobeat groove to sweeten the Ghanaian jollof rice of a track that we have here. If you know you know. This starts off with a cool guitar riff, leading us into a fabulous vocal, over a kick drum and shakers, there\u2019s an absence of a snare replaced with a single clap on the 2 and 4\u2026 wait is that a Wurlitzer over the latin groove? Of course it is. I think this song has all the spice of suya, and the heady flavour of palmnut soup\u2026 this is a love song rich with flavours of ripe plantain grilled with some peanuts and chin chins.. this song talks about being in love enough to write a song about someone. There\u2019s also a hidden garden egg in the song, there\u2019s mention of a broken guitar &#8211; it\u2019s not broken just slightly out of tune, I like that! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nice touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hapin Usuwo is a singer songwriter based in Nottingham, this looks like his second single release. I&#8217;m expecting big things from him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now this is a track that is a meal suitable only for the Asantehene!
