Cheef Chebe’s new single, “Mama Say: New Single Release,” is a vibrant exploration of life’s ups and downs, blending positive energy with profound reflections. The theme of the song is about how the past often contributes to the present-day reality for many people in so many ways. This song is a positive reflection of childhood and the challenges of growing up in a dog-eat-dog world. A world in which the weak can easily perish without notice or be made to feel unwelcomed or less valued. Mama Say is about the positive reassurance from the mother who always loves, and no matter the circumstances their child faces growing up in a fast-speed world. The moral of the song is a reminder that it is not how slow we are to begin with but how well we learn to adjust, adapt, navigate, and do things. It is how well we learn to embrace our unique circumstances and overcome the individual challenges we face throughout our lives that mark the difference between success and failure. A child who is a prince growing up in a castle today can end up a homeless man in the future and likewise, an orphan growing up anywhere in the world today can learn to do well enough and build a castle of his own and have his own happy family. So, it is not how we begin in life but how well we learn from our difficult challenges to do well and be what we wish to be. It is how well we can learn to live with the limited or abundant opportunities around us to make a meaningful success out of life.

Recorded between Glasgow and Accra, the single marks Chebe’s journey from his collaborative work with the Glasgow African Balafon Orchestra to a personal, introspective solo debut.
