A Recap Into Artiste, Shatana’s Musical Journey, 2022
Music songstress and philanthropist, Shatana’s 2022 has been very eventful. Although she encountered hitches at a point, it all rounded her year up perfectly.
Shatana kickstarted the year with a high tempo groovy freestyle she released in March titled, “Ate Afaso”, which translates from the local parlance to mean, “it has overflown”. She articulated that all the good things in the year would be in abundance for all to enjoy.

The second release, “, Indomie Generation” which was an Amapiano vibe. The songstress through the song talked about how most girls of nowadays would love to slay their way through life instead of learn chaste values.

The wonderful musician then followed the second song, “Ati Afaso” with a political protest song titled, “Anfa”, during the early days of May, 2022. The song which was a drill jam, satirically advocated for better system of governance to help all and sundry in the country to live well. Shatana foiled how the government in power promised the general citizenry goodies they were to fulfill when they come to power but once in power, none sufficed. “Anfa” became big due to its message and got spins from DJs on various radio stations and the streets.

The congenial musician followed up with a song in August dubbed, “Lipo Lipo”, which advocated against body enhancement which was on it’s peak in the year of review. The song, “Lipo Lipo” is a song that advices people especially women to desist from going under the knife to enhance their bodies by a process called ‘Liposuction’, (a cosmetic procedure used in plastic surgery). Shatana advised the youth to deter from the practice because the effects of it was dire. The song immediately got massive airplays on the airwaves because it was also during the time that most celebrities were normalizing the act.

Shatana dropped her last project of the year, “Sika MpƐ Dede” in November. The musician vigilante bantered ironically a statement by the president, His Excellency, Nana Akuffo Addo in his last ‘State Of The Nation’ address. The president who used the proverb, “Sika MpƐ Dede” first, to wit meant that the populace of Ghana should limit or better still stop agitating over the excessive hardships and surged economic crises because, where there was so much “noise” and unrest, money could not be made there.
Shatana as a social activist had laid the exact words, “Sika Mp3 Dede”, by the president into a song and interwoven it with other general expressions to project the current hardships all around the country in the song. As usual, it got massive impression from music lovers in the country because it was simply spoke truth to power literary. Shatana then followed it up with a nice music visuals a month after.

“Finish Me” is a song off Mersea’s new album, “Jopah”.
The song has Wonder high ended shakers and snare combo in the beat. The sense of combo of Amapiano and Afrobeats vibes in the song is flawless.
The vocals are so much on point. The diversity of the male and female vocals created balance also. This is a great song.
The album, “Jopah” is of diverse influences to create a fresh, genre-blending sound. It’s a fusion of Afrobeat rhythms, soulful melodies, and contemporary sounds that reflect my personal journey and the cultural narratives that inspire me.
JOPAH is more than an album—it’s an immersive musical experience that connects deeply with audiences, evoking a sense of unity through music. Opportunities: With JOPAH now released, I’m eager to build momentum by securing strategic partnerships, media exposure, and distribution opportunities that will expand its reach. My focus is to: 1. Expand distribution through streaming platforms, record labels, and other networks for increased visibility and engagement. 2. Perform live, both virtually and in-person, to grow the fanbase and showcase the album’s energy on stage. 3. Gain media attention through press, radio, and other outlets, focusing on the album’s unique sound and cultural significance. 4. Collaborate with brands whose values and aesthetic align with the themes of the album to drive mutual growth. I believe JOPAH has the potential to resonate with a wide range of listeners, and I’m excited to partner with those who share my vision of creating powerful, cross-cultural musical experiences.

The presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives is a transformative force that enables us to bear good fruit. As described in Galatians 5:22-26, the fruit of the Spirit includes love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. These qualities are not only a reflection of God’s love but also a guiding light for our daily lives.
According to the scripture, those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires (Galatians 5:24). To live a life that is pleasing to God, we must walk in the Spirit, allowing His guidance and wisdom to shape our thoughts, words, and actions. As the apostle Paul exhorts, “If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit” (Galatians 5:25).
In our walk with God, it is essential to avoid becoming conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another (Galatians 5:26). Instead, we should strive to cultivate humility, kindness, and love towards others, reflecting the character of Christ in our lives.
In celebration of God’s love and the fruit of the Spirit, we invite you to enjoy a beautiful song that embodies the spirit of love and joy. The melodic scaling on the keys and supported chords on the pads create a loving atmosphere, while the natural and unadulterated vocals bring out the emotions of the heart.
The live beat performance adds a unique touch, making the listener feel like they are experiencing the music firsthand. The harmonious back-ups further enhance the song’s beauty, making it a wonderful expression of praise and worship.
Take a moment to listen to this wonderful song and let its message of love and joy inspire your heart. May the music be a reflection of God’s love and a reminder of the fruit of the Spirit in our lives.
