Afro-Pop sensation, KJ Spio releases his highly anticipated new single, ‘Jealous’. The track features an impressive lineup of tremendously talented artists, including Sarkodie, Loick, and Ambré.
Produced by the amazing M.O.G. Beatz and KJ Spio (C Figz,- Engineer) ‘Jealous’ is set to captivate audiences
with its infectious rhythms and warm depth.
‘Jealous’ is a dynamic and emotionally charged track exploring themes of love, envy, and
vulnerability. KJ Spio’s innovative approach to Afro-pop and R&B is evident. Sarkodie’s powerful
verses inject a raw and authentic Ghanaian flavour, elevating the track’s intensity.
Smooth Vocals add depth to the song, while Ambré’s soulful tones provide a compelling contrast.
When asked about the inspiration behind ‘Jealous’, KJ Spio: “For me, the idea of the song is about treating your significant other as special until people start getting jealous of your relationship.
It manifests in different forms, including kindness and actually listening. An integral theme we also
wanted to explore (which is reflected in the video) is ‘women empowerment’. In all, it’s a super
beautiful song.”
Sarkodie added “I wrote this song from a standpoint of being with someone who is special to me,
knowing fully well that this person treats me preferentially, compared to everyone else. They love
me and are not hooked up elsewhere.”
Loick Essien summarised saying “I wrote this song while I was recording at my home-studio. It was
about a relationship I was in. You know, sometimes real happiness (even though I dislike that
phrase) can attract a lot of jealousy. I started working with Jay, and he’s the only person I know I can
send a record to, & he’ll send it back finished. So when I heard the collaborations, it all came together
like the missing pieces of a puzzle.”
KJ Spio has steadily built a name for himself in the music industry, with over 10.9 million streams
