Kelvyn Boy is Africa’s fastest rising star – and on Blackstar the Ghanaian wonderkid has delivered a statement of intent that will last the ages. Named after Ghana’s iconic flag, Black Star is both a celebration and a critique of the country Kelvyn Boy calls home.
With a tracklist that folds in social commentary, party jams, politics, religion, love and heartbreak, Black Star is an album in the true sense of the word; a carefully curated body of work that draws on the nation’s wealth of musical heritage and updates it, taking the listener on a heady ride through modern times.
