Manye Mercy Set To Be The Hottest Female Artiste In Africa

We saw her when she debuted on Triple M?s (her former group) first album, at age 18. But unlike most teenage stars who make it in their teens, only to fall apart when they grow up, Manye Mercy (Queen Mercy) formerly known as Queen in showbiz circles will catapult herself to the top of the music ladder with her much-anticipated album yet to hit stores.

Her maiden, sees her breaking off from the teenage-like image and making a mark for herself. This is no joke. I have listened to it and know what it is like and you know I bring words on good things. If there should be any award for best female singer next year, she will pick it up.

With hit tracks like ?Me Ne Kwame Nam? (I am walking with Kwame) ft Okra, (Obaa Fool Shoe) ft Okra, ?Nbele Laaje? (My pipe is lost) ft Bright formerly of Buk Bak fame, ?Saa Adee No? (That thing) ft Biggie Man, ?Mele Ni Yaa E? ft Stone Boy and the likes which are set to be used as ring tones by some cell phone networks, Manye Mercy?s future looks bright.

She?s one of the most stylish female artistes if not the most stylish, with amazing body language and matching vocal abilities. She will definitely go down in history as the first female Ghanaian artiste to sign international deals with her African style.

In the hiplife industry, she?s known to set trends. She will enjoy a lot of attention wherever she goes with this massive album and gossip columnists will never leave her alone. Trust me.

Her exquisitely crafted, self-titled album is something else. More remarkable is that some of the words used in some of her songs have become household words ?Nye Saa Na Yekaa No? (That?s Not What We Agreed On).

The vivacious artiste will certainly take Ghana by storm with her maiden and with Mr Alexander Akwetey and Frank Acheampong at the helm, it will be the biggest album ever recorded by Kwik Action of S24.
