The single “Ouu eee (brown)” is enjoying massive user engagement online, a testament to why it has become one of Afrobeats’ viral sensations. “I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who’s been listening to the song. My goal was for women to hear it and feel empowered and confident. I especially wanted a Black woman, even in a place like Finland (and I know there are some there), to feel seen, appreciated, and loved. I have a love for all of God’s people, but “Ouu Wee” was created especially for Black women everywhere.” – Mannywellz
Poetically, “Ouu wee (brown)” is compelling. “I write and create music from the soul, for the soul. Every time I create, my goal is to make you feel, touch people’s hearts, and stir their emotions, whether through sound or visuals. I want everything I put out to make people feel something. I grew up listening to several genres of music – Juju, Fuji, Gospel, R&B, Hip-hop, alternative, and more. I soaked in everything to become a true lover of music. That experience enabled me to blend sounds the way I do today. I can’t wait for the entire world to experience my sound.”
