Wendy Shay – Dubai

Ghanaian Afro-pop singer Wendy Shay is back in the game with a new, catchy and luxury-minded tune, “Dubai,” included on her studio album, *4PLAY*.

Released at a time when Afropop fans all over West Africa are craving catchy, feel-good songs that celebrate the finer things in life and high-standard living, this dazzling CD is sure to be a hit. Wendy Shay has made herself a force to be reckoned with on the music world with her outspoken attitude, catchy hooks and unapologetic feminine power. On “Dubai,” she goes into over-the-top romance and ambition and crafts an irresistible track that is sure to connect with those who enjoy the soft life and intentional pampering.

The producer creates a joyful mid-tempo soundscape featuring sharp percussion loops, warm keyboard melodies, and a rolling bassline. A steady Afro-dancehall drum rhythm maintains the momentum with addictive charm, yet without over-crowding the layout. Meantime, the expansive sound engineering leaves enough of breathing room for her rich vocal inflections to float seamlessly across the mix, sparkling harmonies and humorous ad-libs.

Wendy Shay takes us through the track with her usual brazen cadences, authoritative delivery and matured vocal appeal. She rides the peppy groove, delivering fun Pidgin and Akan-infused lines with sticky, sing-along choruses from the get-go. Her lively, confident performance creates an addictive, joyous ambiance that immediately locks the listener into the groove.

Lyrically, “Dubai” is mostly about the goals of a luxury lifestyle, wanting to be treated as such and enjoying the delicious fruits of hard work with a special someone. She spins a simple romantic holiday fantasy into a worldwide anthem for confident women who know their value, using accessible language and a chant-filled refrain.

Everything ties together neatly on this one for a full, very enjoyable listening experience. The bright, groove-heavy production matches her powerful vocal stamina step for step for the whole runtime.
