Ghanaian hitmaker Jay Q—renowned for crafting some of the country’s most unforgettable tunes—has stepped into the spotlight once again with a brand-new single titled “Gbelewu.” This release marks a refreshing twist: not only did he produce the track, but he also takes centre stage as the lead vocalist.
“Gbelewu” is a vibrant Afrobeats record that fuses traditional African rhythms with Jay Q’s signature modern production flair. The song explores themes of emotional distance and self-preservation, weaving in the timeless philosophy of see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil while reflecting on the complexities of human nature.
The track highlights Jay Q’s impeccable ear for production while revealing a more introspective side of his artistry through thoughtful songwriting.
Now based in the United States, Jay Q has long been celebrated for shaping the sound of contemporary Ghanaian music. His production credits include classics such as “Oluman Boogie” (FBS ft. Tinny), “Ahomka Womu” (VIP), “Sikletele” (4×4), “Odo Fitaa” (4×4), “Toffee” (Castro), “16 Years” (Mzbel ft. Castro), “Yopoo” (Mzbel), “I’m in Love” (Mzbel ft.
