‘Fameye carries a special spirit’ – KiDi hails singer’s songwriting talent

Ghanaian singer KiDi has paid glowing tribute to Fameye, describing him as a songwriter with a rare creative gift that sets him apart from many musicians in the country.

The Touch It hitmaker says Fameye possesses a special quality in his music, particularly his ability to capture the emotions and experiences of Ghanaians through his lyrics, compositions and arrangements.

Speaking in an interview, KiDi revealed that his admiration for Fameye’s artistry led him to approach the singer to write a song for his album.

He explained that the two had an extensive conversation about the creative and spiritual direction he wanted the album to take before Fameye went away to work on the material.

Interestingly, KiDi said he did not tell Fameye that the song would eventually serve as the album’s opening track. He simply shared his vision for the project and asked him to come up with something that would fit.

Fameye returned with four songs, all of which impressed KiDi. But one stood out almost immediately.

“I heard it and I was like, yep, this is the one,” he recalled.

For KiDi, the selected song had something beyond its sound. He said it carried the spiritual depth he wanted for the album, making it the perfect introduction to the body of work.

He also drew attention to its arrangement, particularly the stripped-back instrumental sections and the choir accompaniment, which gave the song a strong church-like atmosphere.

Asked what made Fameye his preferred choice among Ghana’s many talented songwriters and musicians, KiDi did not hesitate to explain the admiration he has for him.

“I’ve always said he carries spirits. Like, a lot of artists have that, but Fameye carries a special spirit,” he said.

He went on to praise Fameye’s songwriting, composition and arrangements, describing them as authentically Ghanaian and deeply connected to the emotions of the people.

“His song arrangements, his song composition, his writing, it’s just something very authentically Ghanaian, authentically the emotion of a Ghanaian,” KiDi added.

He described Fameye as one of the artistes he holds in high regard, making it clear that his decision to work with him was rooted in more than musical convenience.

For KiDi, Fameye’s contribution was a meeting of creative vision and emotional expression – a reminder of why he considers the singer’s songwriting gift so distinctive.
