Stonebwoy’s “Le Gba Gbe” video is about reaching your happy place

In April, Ghanaian star Stonebwoy released Anloga Junction, a 15-track album that joins dancehall, high-life, and afrobeats to spread messages of love and unity — something that the world could always use more of. One of the album's standouts, "Le Gba Gbe (Alive)", which is spoken in the artist's native tongue of Ewe takes on the theme of mental slavery. But the song doesn't end on a somber note. Its victory is in how Stonebwoy's chronicles the process of breaking away from that counterproductive state of mind in order to enjoy life at its fullest.
