Soul singer drop "Janesis" album this month

The singer shared the news via her Instagram page, saying the album would be dropping officially on April 22, 2016 after much delayed wait.

The Afro-soul singer gained national acceptance throughout Ghana by becoming the first runner up in Charterhouse’s 'Stars of The Future' television show in which she finished first runner-up. Signing up a three-year deal with Charterhouse, she went on to release a collaborative album titled “Unveiled” with the winner Irene which was released in South Africa.

After ending her three-year deal, she went ahead recording songs and performing at local gigs, changing her stage name in the process from Miss Jane to Efya.

In 2011, Efya signed a recording deal with One Nation Entertainment.

The songstress released a mixtape in 2013 titled “T.I.N.T” comprising 13 tracks which was to serve as a precursor to her debut album which was initially slated for release in the third quarter of 2013, however the release time frame was postponed to February 2014.

Efya released the album’s lead single ‘Forgetting me’ on January 11, 2014, which met great reception.

In an October 2013 interview with MTV, the neo-soul vocalist says the album would contain many love songs, and would explore the topics of hate and pain, which are associated with love, and also stating that the album draws from her personal experiences.

On July 16, 2014, Efya released ‘One of Your Own’ as the album's second single. The song features vocals by Bisa K Dei. The Ghanaian singer initially wanted to release ‘Gingam Too Much’ as her second single but after discussions with her team, she decided to postpone the release of the aforesaid single.

On December 26, 2014, One Nation Entertainment eventually released ‘Gingam Too Much’ as the album's third single; it was produced by Kaywa.

Efya has a couple of awards to her credit including Record Of The Year for her single ‘Best in me’ off her “T.I.N.T” mixtape at the 2013 Ghana music awards and Female musician of the year at the City People Entertainment Awards in 2014.

The album “Janesis” is available for pre-order on iTunes, and comes with a gifting release of her single 'Heartbeat' featuring rapper E.L off the album.
