After a three-year absence from the music scene to have a baby,
controversial singer Mzbel is making a return with a new single
titled, Legelege, and keen observers are looking forward to see
whether indeed Mzbel would stay with her promise to demonstrate
maturity in her art.
The song has a very catchy rhythm with a francophone feel that is sure
to get people moving on the dance floor. In the song, Mzbel sings in
a mixture of French, Ga, Twi and English with some Nigerian slangs
thrown in as well.
Her message is about being underestimated by her love interests just
because her body is legelege, which is a Ga jargon, for slim or
skinny.
She sings that despite being skinny she is capable of achieving things
that will amaze her lover.
Speaking with Showbiz, last Tuesday, Mzbel explained that her song
was open to interpretation. "Legelege has both naughty and innocent
interpretations. The innocent interpretation is to remind people not
to judge by appearances.
You might see someone and because the person is petite or small, you
feel she is not capable of great things. On the other hand, you might
see someone with a small body but you would be surprised at the type
of things the person can do," she said.
On the question of why she had adopted a more francophone style on her
latest single Legelege, Mzbel explained this was to reach out to a
much wider audience.
"You have to follow the trend currently. We want our music to cross
borders into our neighbouring countries and as such, you can't focus
on simply doing songs in Twi, exclusively for the local market. This
is the reason Legelege has a blend of different rhythms and
languages," she explained.
The Sixteen Years star, told Showbiz that she was back to take her
rightful place on the music scene and she would do this by releasing a
single every three months.
"I am back strong and hard with Legelege and I'm amazed at the
reaction and response I've had from social media, it's been
overwhelming. Even though I'm making a comeback, I don't see the
current female artistes as competition because most of them don't do
the genre of music that I do."
She asked her fans to get ready to be amazed and revealed that she has
numerous gigs and events lined up, including a press launch to
officially announce her comeback and a concert at the National Theatre
in February.
