Ghanaian international singer, Stephanie Benson is out with a new
single off her upcoming collaborative project with young and talented
musicians in Ghana.
The singer who stole the hearts of many Ghanaians as
a judge on ‘Vodafone Icons: Divas Edition’ last year, features some of
the groups from the reality TV show in her new music video for ‘Falling
in Love’ featuring Malaika.
The video features some members of the groups, Diamonds, Kolours,
Kyses, Eboni and Keshi 3; some of whom also did backing vocals on the
song.
Stephanie, a gifted vocalist and performer who has performed
mostly in Europe throughout her 20-year career, is also currently in the
finishing stages of her studio collaboration with these contestants
from the Icons reality TV show.
The video for ‘Falling in Love’ shows a colourful blend of African
dance and costuming that reflects the energetic high tempo song with an
interesting twist to the genre of music that Stephanie Benson is
acclaimed for. The video which was directed by Abraham Ohene-Djan, also
sees Stephanie trying to do the famous Azonto dance, and features the
adorable son of Ghanaian rapper, Okyeame Kwame, showing some swag!!!
Known for her unique sense of style and glamorous costumes on stage
and sometimes borderline controversial outfits that are custom-made by
Jenny Packham (one of England’s’ High Society top designers, who has
dressed stars like Katy Perry, Sandra Bullock and Kate Middleton),
Stephanie Benson equally looked alluring in the video for ‘Falling In
Love’, dressed by young and buzzing Ghanaian designer, Kayda Nana
Afriyie of KNAF Couture.
According to Stephanie, this is the lead single to an exciting
forthcoming project that was recorded at Scratch Studios, engineered by
Freeman and produced by Malaika, who features on ‘Falling In Love’. She
comments: “This collaboration came about after the Vodafone Icons
project ended and I realized some of the talented girls who didn’t win
were still enthusiastic to pursue their dreams and needed a boost in
their quest to become musicians hence my decision to work with these
talented ladies.”
