Directly translated, ‘Uyalalela (Ungalahl’ithenba)’ means ‘he is listening, don’t give up hope’ and that is exactly what the message in the song is trying to portray. Keep praying, stay pure and true to your intentions and put all your faith in our Creator.
FRA! takes you back to the era of Ghanaian high school style azonto with this song led by Nana Yaw Ofori-Atta (Thousand). It's hot, groovy and rhythmic and will make you want to dance all day. The song's catchy and simple chorus, "You Dey Feel The Vibe", makes it a great for audience participation. Written in the band's signature feel good style, it's one of the singles off the band's highly anticipated upcoming album, Chale Wote.

He began writing the song during his gruelling tenure in medical school when he truly began questioning his purpose in life. Fantasize allowed for a bit of frivolous escapism from what, at the time, felt like the harshness of his reality. Lesroy ‘A.P.’ Byers of the Oakville Collective captures perfectly in the production, the sentiment of Arlen’s hopeful helplessness.

Music as we know it has always been about vocal fluidity and fluency, it's pitch and texture is what has driven most to love a certain artist. The turn of the millennium and the rise of the 2K generation has brought a different point of view of how music should be seen. With the rise of dancehall the sub genre of reggae one surely sees that music is no longer limited by one's vocals. This shift in the musical paradigm has birthed many talented artists who have not been scared to create their own diverse sound that speaks to the masses.
