I have maintained the argument that, Ghanaian songstress-Becca (real name Rebecca Acheampong) is a pace-setter, with a non-extinguishing desire to make an indelible musical mark in Ghana and beyond.
Over the years, Becca has affirmed my position and that of many Ghanaian music lovers, that she does not just have a unique talent but also, possesses the energy, commitment, desire and the industry connections need to take her music to the next level.
Last year, Becca released a video for her second studio album’s title track-Time for Me which was shot in Japan, and I said at the time that “nothing of such quality has been seen in Ghana”.
Being part of an industry where many of the artistes are struggling with creativity and career directions seems not to have any sort of negative bearing on Becca, considering the quality of songs and music videos she keeps pushing our way.
On Friday, Becca’s latest single-MOVE featuring Uhuru of ‘Khona’ fame was given the first airplay on Bola Ray’s Drive Time on Joy fm and it was worth the long wait.
As the Editor of GhanaCelebrities.Com, I have had the privilege to watch the music video of Becca’s newest single-MOVE ahead of its release, and I am amazed at the standard and the perfect fusion of African traditional dance with the exciting strings of energy the song gives out…
Legendary African musicians Yvonne Chaka Chaka & Hughes Hugh Masekela made prominent appearances in the video—and I am told they did so, simply because they adore Becca’s talent and career direction. Who wouldn’t?
