Stephanie Benson features Vodafone Icons contestants in her new video

Ghanaian international singer, Stephanie Benson is out with a new single off her upcoming collaborative project with young and talented musicians in Ghana. The singer who stole the hearts of many Ghanaians as a judge on ‘Vodafone Icons: Divas Edition’ last year, features some of the groups from the reality TV show in her new music video for ‘Falling in Love’ featuring Malaika.

The video features some members of the groups, Diamonds, Kolours, Kyses, Eboni and Keshi 3; some of whom also did backing vocals on the song. Stephanie, a gifted vocalist and performer who has performed mostly in Europe throughout her 20-year career, is also currently in the finishing stages of her studio collaboration with these contestants from the Icons reality TV show.

The video for ‘Falling in Love’ shows a colourful blend of African dance and costuming that reflects the energetic high tempo song with an interesting twist to the genre of music that Stephanie Benson is acclaimed for. The video which was directed by Abraham Ohene-Djan, also sees Stephanie trying to do the famous Azonto dance, and features the adorable son of Ghanaian rapper, Okyeame Kwame, showing some swag! Known for her unique sense of style and glamorous costumes on stage and sometimes borderline controversial outfits that are custom-made by Jenny Packham (one of England’s’ High Society top designers, who has dressed stars like Katy Perry, Sandra Bullock and Kate Middleton), Stephanie Benson equally looked alluring in the video for ‘Falling In Love’, dressed by young and buzzing Ghanaian designer, Kayda Nana Afriyie of KNAF Couture.

According to Stephanie, this is the lead single to an exciting forthcoming project that was recorded at Scratch Studios, engineered by Freeman and produced by Malaika, who features on ‘Falling In Love’. She comments: “This collaboration came about after the Vodafone Icons project ended and I realized some of the talented girls who didn’t win were still enthusiastic to pursue their dreams and needed a boost in their quest to become musicians hence my decision to work with these talented ladies.”
