Abochi raises delicate question with ‘All of a Sudden’
• Abochi
Ghanaian highlife and afrobeat sensation, Abochi, has raised a very delicate question with the release of his new single dubbed, ‘‘All of a Sudden’’
The song was written and produced by Abochi himself.
Speaking to The Spectator about the song, he said, “It talks about a young visionary man in a relationship, who was not financially sound and for this reason his partner left him for another man.”
“The lady left him because she doesn’t have the patience to stay and believe the future would be better with the young man,” he said.
Abochi noted that, when this unfortunate situation happened, the gentleman did not throw up his hands in despair but rather worked hard to be successful.
Upon seeing this, he said, the lady who had left then decided to come back into the life of the young man for a second chance.
Against this backdrop, Abochi has thrown this delicate question out there for music lovers to find the solution.
Abochi, a songwriter and producer, is a native of Winneba in the Central Region and grew up at Sowutuom in Accra.
The song is available on all digital platforms.
