    About a week ago, Ghanaian producer and Sarkodie’s business manager KJ Spio released the official music video for a song called ‘Jealous’ featuring vocals from English singer Loick Essien, American singer-songwriter Ambré, and Ghana’s biggest musical export, Sarkodie. In what feels like the middle of nowhere, the visual opens with KJ Spio sitting in an open field. Next, a couple lies in bed as the gentleman (Loick Essien) croons to and asks his leading lady to take her time (“don’t rush, it ain’t no race)” whilst he plans for longevity. Flaunting her prettified vocal palette, Ambré adds lyrics about temptation and assures her partner by sharing her feelings. To close the song, Sarkodie ushers in sheer confidence by casually asking his partner to smile, all to make the observers fixated on their lives jealous.

    Watch the official music video directed by Lux London below. Ambré isn’t in it, but her vocal prowess makes you wish she was.

    Two days ago, New York-bred star B-Lovee released the official video for his song ‘All Alone’ featuring Cash Cobain. It all started when the Drill star spotted a baddie, or an attractive young woman, walking across the street. The alluring woman approaches the brick building, wearing an all-black outfit and heels. Before she gets on the block, Cash Cobain leaves the area to give him space, which is commendable and preferred as a friend or a fellow human being. Before she could walk out of his reach, B-Lovee puts his hand on hers. She passes her mobile phone to him. Subsequently, he enters his telephone number.
