Ghanaian-American artiste Jay Ghartey
has netted a brace – ahead of the official release of his upcoming second
album.
The ‘My
Lady’ hit-maker is out with yet another promising hit banger, this time a
typical up-tempo Azonto number. It is
titled ‘Somebody.’
Not only that, he has also dropped what
some music pundits have touted as “a beautiful love song,” titled ‘Love You Better.’ The song features the
fascinating songbird Juliana Kanyomozi, from Uganda.
Juliana is celebrated in many circles
as perhaps the East African country’s most decorated contemporary international
artiste with many awards and hit songs – such as ‘Say Yes’ and ‘Nabikoowa’
– to her credit. She recently appeared on the remix of Jay’s ‘My Lady.’
Interesting as it may seem, the ‘Somebody’ song promises a lot potential to
become one of Jay Ghartey’s greatest records.

In an interview with the artiste over
why he has taken to Azonto, he
explained he did the song for two main reasons.
“Although I’m not known for Azonto, I’ve observed a lot of my fans, both in Ghana and the rest
of the world, are now hooked on to Azonto,
so I asked myself, ‘Why shouldn’t I do
one for them?’,”
he said.
But regarding the second reason, Jay
Ghartey said he recorded the song because of the recent branding of Azonto as Nigerian by American artiste
Chris Brown on BET.
“It is an undeniable fact that Azonto originated from Ghana and not
Nigeria, so when Chris Brown made that mistake on BET, I saw the need to bring
some of my Azonto tracks. So this is
the first to come out,” he added.
Jay announced that as part of plans to
promote the songs, especially ‘Love You
Better,’ Juliana would arrive in Ghana “to inspect my youth foundation,
record songs and do various shows and interviews.
“I think this will also help unite both
countries – Ghana and Uganda,” he said, calling on his fans and every
music-lover to expect the release of his much-anticipated second album later in
the year.
