Great new feature from rising star Nancee.
Ghana meets Germany meets the USA meets the UK – that’s Nancee in short. Jumping from one continent to the next, this songstress discovered her passion for music at a young age and started writing songs in her early teens.
She nurtured her gifts in high school productions, leading roles in community musicals, church choirs and as a session vocalist until she finally decided to pursue a career as a solo artist. Now Nancee has brought her internationally infused groove to London,
where she currently resides. She has graced the stages of Camden Rock, Bush Hall and Hornchurch Music Festival where she performed alongside The Loveable Rogues.
Nancee has accrued a growing fan base and has started to receive critical acclaim as a prolific singer-songwriter with fresh urban sounds. Her new single ‘Wherever You Go’ describes unconditional love that knows no boundaries. With a piercing drum beat, driving bassline and a distinguishable brass sample, the song offers a nostalgic journey to the urban sound of the 90’s with a contemporary feel to it.
Why did you select this song as your current single?
I think it depicts my overall style quite well because it has a soulful smoothness yet the upbeat nature of an RnB/Pop song with a ‘Hip Hopy’ touch.
What was the writing process for the song?
Rejazz, the producer, played me the beginning of the beat and asked me if the beat was ‘singable’. He had originally intended to give it to a rapper because of its Hip Hop direction. Anyway, I heard it, instantly loved it and came up with the melody and some of the words for the hook right away. I took the beat home and wrote the rest of the song.
What does this song’s lyric mean to you?
I delved deep into myself to write about a special love without boundaries so the lyrics are very personal and mean a whole lot to me. It’s special to be able to write a song you can put your deepest feelings into.
What would it be like to see you in person performing this song?
When I perform the song I always do my best to show the audience love as this is a love-filled song. At the same time I feel the energy the beat calls for which I try to transfer to the audience. I hope this comes across and people feel reinvigorated after watching the performance.
Could your fans summarize who you are as an artist by this song?
Upbeat, persevering and running deep
Is there a video planned and or completed and if so, what was the idea behind the video?
The idea behind the video was to show a love beyond territorial boundaries to summarize the hook of the song:
Wherever You Go From Here, I’ll Hold You Dear, I’ll Be Waiting My Love’s Not Changing’. So we chose to depict a soldier who is leaving his sweetheart at home to go to war. The woman is left behind saddened by having to say Goodbye but wherever he goes, she’ll hold him dear and she’ll be waiting.
One last question, what is your motivation behind your music?
For me making music is about having a creative outlet for my emotions, thoughts, aspirations and views. Hoping that someone out there may be touched in one way or another by my music motivates me to keep going.
