Wiyaala releases single for 2022 titled ‘Coming with Fire’ [Video]

Ghanaian singer, Wiyaala, has released 'Coming with Fire', her first single for 2022.

This is a follow-up to 'Yaga Yaga’, a song she released last year.

And it is an explosive cocktail of positive energy heavily influenced by the work of K.O.G (Kweku of Ghana), an internationally renowned professional UK-based musician, artist, songwriter, percussionist, and multi-instrumentalist from Elmina in Ghana.

The song is premised on an artist's primary focus to create great art.

Any consequent accumulation of money or celebrity status is incidental and secondary to the main purpose:

“Our sound, our mind, can you dream it?

Make you go boom boom like a conga

Take a bow, forget the haters

All this for love, not for paper”

Wiyaala's uncompromising delivery of ragga punchlines is juxtaposed with an operatic soaring chorus and an aggressive beat, which combined with Wiyaala's fast-cut edit offers viewers an overwhelming visual experience.

The collaboration arose out of a chance meeting at the Shambala Festival in the UK. Recognising that they were fellow Ghanaians, they agreed to work together on an album, from which two songs have now been released, 'Yaga Yaga' in 2021 and 'Coming With Fire' this year.

Many of the songs from the album have been already performed by Wiyaala at festivals around Europe with Onipa, K.O.G & The Zongo Brigade and in Ghana and Dubai with the Ghanaian band PatchBay.
