Jon Germain caught ‘In her Arms’

Jon Germain

Ghanaian Pop/R&B star, Jon Germain will on Thursday the 10th of January 2012 drop his newest single ‘In Her Arms’ from the album ‘Enigma’ on the ‘Drive Time’ on Joy 99.7 FM hosted by Bola Ray and an exclusive interview would be done on Saturday.

The song which talks about finding utmost love in his lover’s arms where comfort is keen, is Jon Germain’s newest single from his album ‘Enigma’.

The first single off ‘Enigma’ titled ‘Tell Me’ was ranked 8th in the world by Atlantic Magazine which is a credible source of news and entertainment in the USA.

His debut album was also endorsed by Chris Martin the band leader of ColdPlay. Artists featuring on ‘Enigma’ are SupaFly, Charlie Corrie, Damien Alexander, Ouala, Lighter, award winning singer and songwriter Tania Tome of Mozambique and others.

Jon Germain so far has ‘This is who I am’ his maiden album to his credit. The 7-track album features J Town and Jayso and It has tracks like In my head (his first single), Can’t explain, Quiver, among others.

The world of music would be appalled by ‘Enigma’ because this album is a typical ‘sky rocketeer’ for Jon’s career as a musician due to very good production, songwriting and brilliant vocal performance.

Jon Germain is signed to the record label I-Contact and managed by NaturesClue Entertainment.

Yvonne Okoro rocks Michael Kors for the Premiere of “Contract”

Yvonne Okoro arrived in red hot style at the premiere of her movie.

Dazzling in a red Michael Kors Pre-Fall 2012 rise and fall hem dress with a long sleeve, the movie’s leading lady proved she is one of 2013?s must see style stars.

She accessorized her outfit with a jeweled hoop earring, a Michael Kors snakeskin clutch and a pair of gold strap Dune sandals.

What’s your take on Yvonne’s look?

Jackie & Micheal

With widespread rumours that Ghanaian star actress, Jackie Appiah has finally divorced her husband, and she would certainly be free to move on with another man.

Could Nigerian actor and activist Michael Bobby Obodo be the new man in her life, as the pair have been spotted together several times in Accra in the past few weeks?

With Bobby looking like Jackie’s date on these outings, we first spotted the pair at D-Black’s album launch (December 16) at the Movenpick Hotel, after which the two had a private meeting at the hotel’s lounge over some drinks.

They also made an appearance together at the Smirnoff Spotlight Shakedown on December 21.

The next time we saw them was at the Aphrodisiac Nightclub (December 22), again Jackie seemed to be showing Bobby around town.

The pair were at it again when they arrived at the Night of 1015 Laughs and Music together on December 26.

Could these two have something going on because their casual outings are raising eyebrows?

Ghana Movie Awards 2012 will be a man-know-man affair

Awards season is one of the most exciting times of the year, especially for those who make it their business to the entertainment culture.

Each year, the Ghana Movie Awards trots out its most significant productions and its biggest stars to celebrate the movies that made the biggest critical and commercial impact over the preceding twelve months.

Let’s make this short and simple, today the 25th of December 2012, is the Ghana Movie Awards, at the Accra International Conference Centre.

The organizers have thoroughly done best to come out with thirty-one (31) inept categories, maybe they are saving the best for the last. At least they have previously fumbled and this year’s will not be any case study to deal with.

With our gathered information, the Kumawood team has decided to snub the awards and therefore we once again feel it will be an all-Accra festival.

This year’s awards have no jury and if there is then why were we not hinted at the soiree?

The popular parlance which says, se agro be so a, efiri anopa, seems not to be in the dictionary of the organizers who would as well have taken their money to either delve into a pool party show since they want to do something.

Organizers have described the nominations as ‘fair and devoid’ of the controversies, yet let’s get into the whole pending sarcasm because we smell that it may be dashed on the basis of man-know-man as Single & Married topped the list with 10 nominations. Followed closely is Grooms Bride with 8 nominations. Kobi Rana’s Hotel Babylon obtained the third highest nominations with 6. ‘Queen Latifa’, ‘Secret Burden’ and ‘Wanna Be’ got 4 nominations each.

Joni Waka also obtained two other nominations in the Best Cinematography and Best Picture categories. Son of the former Ghana President, Edward Agyekum Kufuor who has become an actor now grabbed a nomination in the Best Actor in a Support Role with his role in ‘Tears of a smile’.

We wonder how events are shabbily organized by those we have faith in and thus, they lead us astray all in the name of trying to prove a point.

But the issue before us isn’t a ‘trying to prove a point’ matter, but GHANA MOVIE AWARDS. The name ‘Ghana’ is in context here and thus, we smell a rat knowing very well that this year’s event maybe a ‘Mr. Bean’ show.

We may be wrong with our opinion, but we shall all wait and see the outcome after tonight’s show.

It is in our own interest that media guys must critically say it as it is, less they pretend that all is well and in that case lead the organizers astray.

What is worth doing is worth doing well. Albeit, our candid advice to the organizers is that for an awards show of this magnitude, it only requires effective advance planning and some creativity.

Video: Did you see what Becca & Trigmatic do?

If you were not at the Becca’s Girl Talk Concert on the 21st of December, 2012, then you may have to wait for another 365 days more to catch a glimpse of what Becca did with Trigmatic.

We are not going to tell you what you missed, but what we shall say you missed out is that even with the warning, ‘Men Don’t Dare’, that line fell on deaf ears as there were lots of them (Trigmatic inclusive) around.

But for what Trig as he is fondly called did with Becca, that you will have to CLICK on the video and see for yourself

Sarkodie represented GH well @ the ‘Top of the World’ Concert

Obidiponbidi

BET award winner Sarkodie on Saturday night proved why he is about the biggest act in Ghana currently, when he virtually stole the show at the Malta Guinness-sponsored Top of the World Concert.

After staging an entry with his latest single “Illuminati”, which surprisingly was popular among the crowd, he went deep into his rich portfolio of hit singles, and fed the teeming crowd with one song at a time.

For well over 50 minutes, he made good use of his flawless artistic delivery, generating loud cheers all throughout his stay on stage.

The free-ticketed event also featured performances from P Square and Samini, who was a last minute replacement for R2Bees.

Comedian Funny Face and Radio Presenter KOD, were MCs for the event.
