This summer, Ghanaian musician Sarkodie is simply having a good time. Whether he's having yacht parties or drinks with friends, his biggest highlight — as he reveals in his song "Labadi" — is the beautiful women surrounding him.
"Girl, your body, your body tonight/ I go pop champagne for your body tonight/ Oh, you deserve money tonight/ Girl, your body, your body tonight," Sarkodie sings in the chorus. "Let me take you out if it's alright/ I need a lady by my side."
In this episode of Global Spin, Sarkodie delivers a live performance of "Labadi," receiving extra energy from a lively band and an excited audience.
"Labadi" is the lead single from Sarkodie's 2022 album, JAMZ, and originally features his fellow Ghanaian star King Promise. As Sardokie explained in a press statement, the track was inspired by the idea of a boat party with "good people." He adds, "It's about fun times with loved ones… just taking time off to enjoy life on the ocean."
Along with embarking on his JAMZ Tour, Sardokie has released three singles in 2023. He was also selected as one of 13 African artists to feature on Africa Unite, a posthumous reimagination of Bob Marley & The Wailers' greatest hits.
