multiple award-winning Ghanaian dancehall star Stonebwoy has released his most prestigious video to date for the brand new single
“Manodzi,” featuring 5x Grammy Award-winning singer Angélique Kidjo
the video was shot on location at the palatial Chateaux Bouffémont in the Bouffémont commune in France
the chateaux provide the perfect backdrop for the video’s sweeping introduction
setting the scene for the true African royal experience taking place within its walls
The video reflects the message behind the single “Manodzi” well
Referred to by Stonebwoy as the “root” of his 5th Dimension album
the track is aptly placed last in the track listing
But it also has a deeper meaning concerning where Stonebwoy feels he is going in life and urges listeners to take comfort in the meaning
“keeping on” while working hard to achieve one’s dreams
but not least track on the album,” he states
because its uplifting message drives the listener to remember where they come from and where they are going—and getting to work with Angélique Kidjo has been a dream for Stonebwoy since the beginning of his career
“She is like a mother to me and Africa at large.” Kidjo is a multi-faceted singer
and activist and is well-known for her immensely diverse approach to African sounds
Through “Manodzi,” she expanded further by contributing vocals sung in the Ewe language
It is also her first feature outside of her primary language
which fans are finding particularly poignant
The internet has exploded with love for the track
with social platforms and react videos calling it Stonebwoy’s most spiritual track to date
proving that the collaboration resonates with listeners regardless of language
The video itself is without a doubt one of the finest cinematic experiences that Stonebwoy has released in his career
the crew and cast pulled out all the stops to produce one of the finest African music videos to date
It instills the sense that Stonebwoy is taking his rightful place among leaders in the African music industry

it is the perfect culmination of years of dreams and hard work paying off
