Shatta Wale releases SAFA album
The beautifully curated masterpiece album went live on digital music platforms in the early hours of Friday, September 20, 2024.
SAFA is a 14-track album featuring two collaborations with Amerado and Wendy Shay and multiple solo songs from the Shatta Movement boss.
Speaking about his latest album on X, Shatta Wale expressed his excitement for his newest music project.
The Killa Ji Mi hitmaker shared that the SAFA album was crafted to celebrate the numerous fans who have supported his music since his re-emergence in the Ghanaian music industry in the early 2010s.
He wrote:
"Welcome to the official release of the Shatta and Fans Album (SAFA) – a project straight from the heart of the Shatta Movement! This album is a celebration of the fans who’ve been with me every step of the way."
SAFA is the dancehall artiste's second album of 2024, following the release of his 8-track Konekt album on February 2.
Shatta Wale has planned a SAFA Float Accra City Convoy event on Friday, September 20, to connect with some Ghanaians in the capital city to mark the successful album release.
Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh speaks on the SAFA album
YEN.com.gh spoke to entertainment analyst Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh, who shared his thoughts on Shatta Wale's SAFA album and its potential impact.
He said:
"SAFA is an album dedicated to the SM fans, and so I expect the core fans to take a liking to the album. In terms of impact, it can go as far as they are willing to push. Only a few Shatta Wale albums have broken the boundaries after they decided to promote it effectively, so I am hoping SAFA gets the same attention and budget to make it bigger."
