Bright Ukpabi, better known as Mr. Dutch, is a young Afro-Pop musician from Nigeria who burst onto the scene with hits such as Antidote, Better Soup and Eno Finish featuring Burna Boy.

The singer has released a five (5) tape called Keys to my heart. The latter is the first ever remix of one song featuring four different artists because these songs are designed to meet different music audience across the continent.

Mr. Dutch draws inspiration from being African and wants the rest of the world to experience this beauty through his music that is why he works with four different African artists to paint the culture of love picture from different countries.

He believes he is educating strangers on a culture that is deep-rooted in Africa’s sound and it beats with the ebb and flow of everyday life.


“Keys to my heart” Remix EP has artists such as Lava Lava, Kidi from Ghana, Teni from Nigeria and Kly. This is because Mr. Dutch wanted to meet different audiences with the same energy and vibe.

For the Ghanaian market, Mr. Dutch works with Lynx Entertainment and ENJOYMENT hit maker Kidi on one of the remixes.

The MasterKraft produced song is a slow jam, the type that grows with you as a music lover and for the Ghanaian music market, Kidi gets his lyrics right as he starts the song with his popular melodious line, “Mmm, Sugar Daddy”.

Keys to My heart by Mr. Dutch featuring Kidi is already getting a lot of radio spins in Ghana and gaining major requests on mainstream urban radio.

Mr. Dutch creates music by understanding the culture of the continent, by doing this, he believes it is very easy to produce meaningful projects that are truly felt by its listeners just like Keys to my heart, Remix EP.

Ghana took the world by storm with their crazy dance moves and the uptempo song they called Azonto. The latter was not a genre but became one among the local people of Ghana. 

So for many Ghanaians, a song that could help them move their feet in a certain particular way was called the Azonto song. To give an example will be how Nigerians call some songs Zanku music because it helps you to do the leg work easily. 

Even though Zanku is not a music genre on its own, among the populace it’s an easier way for them to identify that kind of music when and where ever they hear it. 

Ghana’s Azonto grew so huge, international RNB superstar Chris Brown caught the vibes and during his concert in Ghana, he did choreography with Wizkid on stage. 

A certain school of thought believes that Azonto – the music and dance put Ghana on the map more than our indigenous Hi-life music, so much that all over the world people were learning how to dance Azonto. 

Even though the success of that music and dance were short-lived, a lot of people still believe it never died but rather the attention shifted to other types of music.

In recent times, a lot of conversations have come up regarding the kingship and pioneer of music and dance-Azonto. The conversation heated up when Sarkodie from Ghana, Africa’s most decorated rapper made a post that azonto should be brought back. 

Despite the back and forth, some artists released songs to champion the comeback of Azonto but for some strange reasons it did not pick up as expected. 

But recently all the new hit songs in Ghana are songs that actually allow you to do the Azonto dance so easily, so we are predicting that these new songs will bring back the dance and song.

 Themes for an album is very important because it tells listeners what to expect from the body of work. However, it is very difficult for some artists because once you set a theme you have to stick to it the majority of the time on the album. 

As an artist your ability to stick to the set theme and mood for an album makes you stand out and also gets fans appreciating your growth stage in your artistic life. 

For some artists they compile their hit songs put it together for fans and call it an album but that is not what Songstress ADINA did on her debut album – ‘ARABA’. 

https://www.instagram.com/p/CG96auiJ7qt/

The meaning of the album title ‘ARABA’  is a Ghanaian name for girls Born on Tuesdays. For those who don’t know our culture in Ghana, Adina uses her new album title to teach them that. 

Aside from Adina getting the title of her album right, She also did well in the collection of songs. The records arrangement and titles matched the album theme. 

On the ten (10) track album produced mostly by Richie Mensah of Lynx entertainment, Adina carefully blends her two diverse cultures- the Ghanaian and South African.  

The intro song of the album – ‘Senyiwa’ takes us through her rich Fante culture. Adina samples the old storytelling song Senwa Dedende.

The latter is a mood of joyful coming together.  We also know that the words are for calling a loved one home to eat – meaning Adina was calling us with a joyful heart to not just eat but have a good meal. 

Daddy’s little girl song and Forever young brings her South African culture to full effect and the blend is beautiful.

Even though she had the spelling of Senwa Dedende wrong, she follows it up with Hyedzin which means be strong in English. Both songs will quickly tell you where she is coming from – Ghana, West Africa. 

Adina brings her two sides on one project –  her commercial and alternative sound. Adina has for some years now been delivering on commercial records but is also known for her soul RNB type of sound. 

On the album songs like Daddy’s little girl, Hear Me, and Runaway featuring KIDI brings out her true RNB soul type of music while songs like Game over, Why, Jeje, Medofo, and forever young brings her commercial side into full play on this album. 

The runWay song is a sample of Irene Logan and ASEM’s Runaway hit released in 2009 and produced by Richie Mensah. Kidi and Adina both do a great job on the song.

Adina’s Araba album is fit for all kinds of music markets. Her choice of titles and songs both in  English and twi makes the album open for everyone. If you a fan of commercial Adina you will enjoy the album and if you are also a fan of her RNB soul singing songs you will be satisfied. 

‘ARABA’ by Adina is a great collection of songs one that we are sure will get alot of commercial success.

Doreen Avio of Myjoyonline.com writes about her experience as the host of  Ghanaian songstress Adina’s debut album called Araba.  Adina who is known for hits like Killing Me softly featuring Kuami Eugene, SIKA, Makoma held her album listening and it was MCed by Dorren Avio, co-host of Cruise Control on Hitz 103.9fm. 

Doreen Writes: 

It was a night of good music as Afro-Pop musician Adina Thembi held her 2-hour album listening session at the Ibis Styles Hotel at Airport City in Accra.

Adina took industry personalities, bloggers, entertainment critics,  media, and loved ones down memory lane with discussions centered on “Araba”, her maiden album.

Personalities in attendance included President of the Creative Arts Council, Mark Okraku Mantey, Andy Dosty, Merqury Quaye, Jerry Justice all from Multimedia, Mr. Logic, Kwame B, Radio Legend George Brun, CEO of Max International  Larry Lowe, and a host of others.

The award-winning artist also took the audience through the songs on the album explaining her songwriting processes, studio sessions, and gave an exclusive performance of “WHY” by Adina from the yet to be released album.

Speaking on the creativity poured to make “Araba” a reality, Adina revealed that the album was about her life and journey as an artist.

“It was a beautiful experience for me. Richie and I go way back so we have that rapport and everyone else on the project is family as well, so, it wasn’t hectic at all,” she said.

The “Makoma” hitmaker described her maiden album as a beautiful blend of emotions and melodies, easy on the ears, and a body of work for everyone.

“You know that sort of package that everyone can walk away with their bit, I can’t wait for everyone to hear it and I pray it travels far and wide,” she said.

The singer stated that she put that experience into a song called “Nyedzin” which is featured on the album.

Teary Adina encouraged everyone to stay strong no matter how tough things get adding things will get better.

“I was saying to my manager that I feel like this song to anybody that is going through anything is a testament. I am a testament that, no matter how tough it gets you can actually come out of that crazy situation it is.”

“I mean look at me now, I’m not doing so bad for myself and I’m doing pretty well, looking at all that crazy stories and we here today,” she said.

The 10 track album was produced by Richie Mensah of Lynx Entertainment with KiDi the label’s signee being the only artiste featured on the album.

 “Araba” is set to be released on the October 30, 2020.
