Ghanaian songstress Efya has spoken about collaborations that have given her the biggest visibility in the music space.
Efya, one of the Ghanaian artistes with the highest number of
features and collaborations said on Showbiz A-Z on Joy
FM that her best collaborations are songs she did with
Sarkodie.
“I have worked with almost 120 artistes. So the hardest
collaboration will be anything that I did with Sarkodie,” she told the host
Kwame Dadzie.
Efya has over the years, has exhibited great artistry either on her
own songs or joint music projects.
Some of her highly rated
collaborations are ‘I’m in Love with You’ and 'Saara' by Sarkodie; 'Hold Me
Down' by Akwaboah, 'One of Your Own; by Efya featuring Bisa K Dei, among
others.
She also reiterated a statement she made
on Twitter (X) about two years ago that artistes who had not released works she
had been featured on for the past three years should come for a retake or not
release the work at all.
According to her, things change with the passage of time as well as
artistes improve on their craft by the day, so songs that were recorded about
three years ago must seriously be reworked and fine-tuned to meet the current
taste of music lovers.
“Nowadays it depends on the mic you are using. There is a certain
way that I need things to be. The upgrade is not easy. When it’s done, it has
to be maintained.
It’s not really that bad. It’s no shade or anything. Come let’s
make the song better,” she noted.
Efya added that different kicks and loops
come out every year, a reason every song must reflect the present and not the
past.
“So if you want to really release the song now and appeal to the
ears of the people now you need to make it a something that will be a hit now,
not the previous one," she noted.
Efya is currently out with her new EP titled 'No More Tears.'
