“Ghana girl say, she wan marry me oh…”
That has to be the most recognizable word in Nigeria right now. It’s the opening line of Runtown’s 2016 hit single – ‘Mad Over You’ – which crossed over into 2017 and has given the continent so much joy.
‘Mad over you’ has not only been a hit song, the magnitude of its penetration has made it become a phenomenon and cultural movement, and guaranteed Runtown’s penetration into the far flung parts of the continent, across oceans, and into global markets.
As I write this, Runtown is touring the UK, filling out capacity venues, and spreading Nigerian music across a land that has shown in recent years that it is open to more than just its traditional songs. Pop songs of African origin are pushing that charge through that country and ‘Mad Over You’ is at the front of that movement, while Runtown is a comfortable part of the vanguard.
