Talented Ghanaian singer Reggie links up with Lasmid and BeezTrap KOTM on a relatable and melodic new record titled “Wish I Had A Girlfriend.”
This collab was always going to be interesting. Three acts from the Ghanaian music scene on one record about one of the most universal feelings out there. And honestly, it delivers.
The Vibe and Production
The beat on “Wish I Had A Girlfriend” is warm and easy-going. The production leans into that smooth Afropop sound that Ghana has been doing so well recently. It does not try to be too much. It just sets the right mood and lets the artists do their thing on top of it.
The instrumental has a romantic quality to it without being too soft. It sits right in that sweet spot between a feel-good record and something with a little emotional weight behind it.
What the Song Is About
The title says everything. Reggie and his features are talking about that familiar feeling of wanting companionship and not having it yet. But the song does not wallow in sadness. It treats the subject with a lightness that makes it fun and relatable rather than heavy.
Most people have felt this way at some point. That universal quality is a big reason why the record connects so easily on the first listen.
The Features
Lasmid brings his signature melodic style to the record and fits in naturally. His voice adds a softness that suits the theme of the song well. He does not overshadow Reggie – he complements him, and the balance works.
BeezTrap KOTM comes in with a different energy. His verse adds a street flavour to the record that keeps things from feeling too one-dimensional. The contrast between all three artists actually makes “Wish I Had A Girlfriend” a more interesting listen from start to finish.
Final Verdict
“Wish I Had A Girlfriend” is a fun and well-put-together record from Reggie and two features that clearly understood the assignment. The song is easy to enjoy and even easier to relate to.
If you are a fan of Ghanaian Afropop, this one deserves your attention. Play it and see which verse hits closest to home.
