Creative music exec/producer MURPHY links up with breakthrough sensation Ayo Maff, upcoming musician Muyeez, and Ghanaian cultural connector Smallgod on bouncing new track “All You Need.”
This star-studded track is exactly what Afrobeats fans need right now, bringing slick, melodic collabs that link regional street sounds. West African listeners always want music that integrates many vocal genres to create a rich party atmosphere. So MURPHY assembles this supergroup lineup to give lovers and ravers an instant anthem.
The sound architects construct a warm mid-tempo environment, propelled by soft guitar plucks and a snappy shaker rhythm. The swinging rhythm is kept with unrelenting appeal, adding subtle synth pads over a robust Afro-fusion percussion kick. Yet the percussion arrangement is crisp enough and spacious enough to give each act enough opportunity to deliver their verses clearly.
Ayo Maff comes out on top with his unique gritty tone and strong street-pop style. He cruises fluidly in the sluggish tempo, sprinkling true emotion in his verse and contagious Pidgin words. He’s expressive in his voice, and from the first drop he sets a soulful, accessible tone.
Muyeez settles into the music; his soft melodic cadences are a nice contrast that elevates the hook. Smallgod solidifies the joint’s global appeal with his ad-libs and Pan-African flair in the meantime. The songwriting is highly focused on loving attachment, comfort, and providing a beloved whatever they desire in a fast-paced environment.
This record is one of those things where everything comes together so beautifully; it provides for a very satisfying listening experience. Throughout the entire length, the sensitive production complements their individual vocal approaches step by step. It indicates that the joint has a sticky, compelling drive to it that stays with you long after the track has finished.
