Stonebwoy Ignites Afro-Dancehall With The Torcher
STONEBWOY is this year’s Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) Reggae/Dancehall Artiste of the Year. This makes it the 10th time the talented act is owning the bragging rights.
And it seems one time BET award winner is in no hurry to rest on his oars. He is sparking the Afro Dancehall scene with his new nine-rack, The Torcher album released on Tuesday, September 9.
Ogee The MC, Stonebwoy’s official hype man, kicks off the album with a bang on the Intro track, showcasing his smooth voice and creative flair
Other songs on the album are The Torcher, Send Dem A Prayer, GidiGidi (Fire), Samankudi, Outside Lifestyle, Susuka (feat. Beeztrap & Yaw Tog), Xosetor (feat. Agbeshie & Kenny Ice) and Deeper.
The title track, The Torcher, arrives with a commanding vocal delivery layered over heavy drum patterns, Dancehall riddims, and a pulsating bassline that instantly ignites energy.
Deeper is a song that explores deeper emotions. With soulful music and heartfelt melodies, it highlights Stonebwoy’s impressive vocal range. He seamlessly switches between his signature Dancehall style and a more melodic, spiritual tone.
Since its release, Xosetor featuring Agbeshie & Kenny Ice seems to be catching on well with its Ewe flavour and chants.
“Beyond the sound, The Torcher carries a deeper narrative. It is a call for empowerment, urging fans to carry their flame” and never allow life’s challenges to dim their light,” Stonebwoy said.
The Torcher is the third album released in three years by the 2023 TGMA Artiste of the Year after 5th Dimension and Up and Runnin in 2023 and 2024 respectively.
Since he rose to prominence in 2012, Stonebwoy, real name, Livingstone Etse Satekla, has distinguished himself in his field of music.
Over the years, he has strengthened his brand with international tours and standout collaborations with international artistes including Keri Hilson, Sean Paul, Trey Songz, Burna Boy, Alpha Blondie, and many more.
