Ghanaian genre-bending singer TiTi Owusu has unveiled her first single of the year “Nobody.” Co-written by the artist and her frequent collaborator Jayso, “Nobody” was released on June 1, 2024. This release coincides with Owusu’s debut appearance at the Ghana Music Awards, where she was nominated for Female Vocal Performance at the 25th Telecel Ghana Music Awards. Styled by Debonair Afrik, TiTi radiated elegance at the event, embracing the theme “A Queen and her Blooming Rose.”
Like her previous releases, “Odo Ntia” and “Make Me Believe (Nana),” the seductive dancehall tune takes its inspiration from love and romance. In the words of TiTi Owusu, the track is about “finding someone who truly loves you and not wanting to be apart from them for the rest of your life.” The song was crafted around cherishing true love, a rarity in today’s society.
Featuring production from renowned Ghanaian producer Jayso, “Nobody” fuses modern reggae, dancehall, and R&B, creating an alluring and cozy melody. With its instrumental featuring elements of reggae and dancehall, TiTi Owusu’s sensual and smooth vocals give the song a soulful R&B feel.
For “Nobody,” the Ghanaian songstress dug into her archives, retrieving a song she recorded in 2017. “I was a little nervous when I recorded it because I had not done dancehall at the time,” she revealed. While pleased with the outcome, TiTi held on to the single as she was on a break from music releases. However, feeling that her voice had improved, she re-recorded the song this year, adding a new verse. “Nobody” is a perfect addition to TiTi Owusu’s versatile discography, which includes a variety of genres.
