The opulent sound emerging out of Ghana is changing the landscape of the future of music.

If you’ve been keeping up with how rapid the Afrobeat sound is moving forward & the countless, noteworthy acts advancing it along even further, then the name Juls definitely rings a bell. Better yet, you’ve read the feature we did on his album Colour earlier this year. Through his prismatic sound, this detail has allowed my spectrum of other Ghanaian artists to widen exponentially. Highlife and Afrobeats singer-songwriter, King Promise, is too from Ghana and known for his tracks “Tokyo” & “Commando”, which are two tenacious highlights from his most recent As Promised album. Mugeez is another notable act from Ghana who holds substantial influence through collaborations with artists like Mr Eazi, Wizkid, & Yemi Alade and his own self-started record label Extrial Music.

These two are my newest favorite discoveries of the genre as a whole, through their recent collaboration with Juls for their latest single, “Your Number” which just released about a week or so ago. With their collective influence being heavy throughout international cities like London, England & Amsterdam, Netherlands, it’s easy to visualize to the degree this track would go up in a club setting. Certainly on repeat for me, maybe it will be for you, too.
