Tinny unties new album

The Aleste Kankpe, Tinny, has dropped promo copies of his new album titled ‘kaa bu ame’. Radio presenters have been handed exclusive promo copies to start rotation on the much-awaited album.


There are six songs on the promo CD that we intercepted from deep sources. ‘Incomplete’ is the first track and features Teddy on an R&B tip. Tinny expresses in music how incomplete he is without his lover in this song.


“We got the gun powder, so open up wider, let me see you shake the body,” so starts intro of the next song titled ‘lighter’. The song grooves with a dancehall rhythm that can rock in any club or pub.


Tinny’s rap style changes to a dancehall pattern as well, moving the unmovable with strong lyrics. Okra featured on this track leaving indelible lyrical marks.


You may have seen the music video of ‘now I know’ on MTV Base but it’s not quite the same listening to the full song in audio. “Baby girl the way you dey do me, oh dey make I dey honey, de way yu whine make I feel fine, before I don’t know but now I know,” the chorus flows in an assuasive tone. The pidgin language used in the song should tell you the Aleste Kankpe is targeting a market bigger than Ghana. The song features Richie and Samini. And check Samini’s lyrics out; “I like de way de gal dey dance wid her backside defence, oh she got me attentive, when I look I no dey fi stop look, look look see, she got me aggressive.”

Tinny’s third album may help him break through the worldwide stage now that he’s doing Ga, English, Pidgin and Twi. Here is the new Tinny with Kaa Bua Ame.
