The much-anticipated remix of legendary highlife musician Adane Best’s timeless hit song “Ayitey” has yet to be released, according to Best.
Its delayed release is blamed on Black Sherif’s busy schedule, which made it difficult for them to work together. The renowned highlife artist opened out in a recent interview with Graphic on the motivation for the remix and his choice to include Black Sherif.
Adane Best was captivated by the current VGMA Artiste of the Year as he played “Ayitey” on stage while receiving the prestigious prize in May.
The reigning VGMA Artiste of the Year caught Adane Best’s attention when he performed “Ayitey” on stage while accepting the prestigious VGMA Artiste of the Year award in May.
The iconic artist expressed his belief in Black Sherif’s potential to elevate the remix.
“Black Sherif will do well on the Ayitey remix. After winning VGMA Artiste of the Year, he performed Ayitey and I saw it trending everywhere. I have reached out to him but I guess he is busy at the moment. But at the right time, we will hit the studio and make it happen.” Adane Best bemoaned.
“32 years in the music is no joke and I plan to do it big. I am already in touch with some of my colleagues to join me on stage when I finally announce the date and the feedback is encouraging,” he shared.
Further exciting news comes in the form of an upcoming album from Adane Best next year. The highlife maestro affirmed his commitment to his fans by stating,
“Next year, I am dropping a complete album for my fans who keep asking me when I am releasing a song. The album is for all those who miss my songs. So, relax and enjoy when it is finally out.”
