Ghanaian rap heavyweight Amerado links up with Nigerian Afropop star Skales on a colorful cross-border tune called “Fountain”.
This exciting partnership comes at a time when West African music fans are yearning for infectious, feel-good anthems that fuse Ghanaian hip-hop poetry with Nigerian party bounce. Adding Skales to the mix is an undeniable shot of mainstream energy, and Amerado continues to push his musical range with smart storytelling and commercial appeal. They join forces for a funky, feel-good song about life, abundance and unfiltered delight.
The producer crafts an upbeat, danceable Afro-fusion environment, with sharp percussion shakers, warm keyboard melodies and a rolling, addictive bass line. Delicate brass melodies and sparkling synth plucks hover above a steady mid-tempo drum kick, keeping the groove flowing smoothly throughout the tune. Still, the mix is kept tidy and open, with plenty of room for each performer to switch flows without crowding up the mix.
Amerado dominates the music with his seasoned cadence and smooth Akan-English wordplay, riding the bouncing rhythm with effortless charm. From the very first drop, he bounces between aggressive rap phrases and melodic refrains, establishing a jubilant, triumphant tone.
Skales hits the booth to spice up the record with his signature silky delivery, catchy hooks, and energetic party-ready cadences. Much of the literature is on the pleasure of reaping the rewards of hard work, seeing blessings pour in like a fountain, and enjoying quality time with loved ones. They have an organic creative synergy that makes a modest studio session into an undeniable party banger.
The whole is so well connected on this album that a full and very pleasurable listening experience is provided. The bright, bouncing sound follows their energetic vocal energy beat for beat through the whole length.
