She was touted as the house gossip in the third season of Big Brother Africa but Ghana’s former rep to the hit reality series, Mimi Abu Adani, is making new waves for herself. Mimi, alias ‘Divalish’, also known as ‘Ghana’s Lady Gaga’, has finally released her ‘Music in Me’ album as a testament to her innate talent and passion for singing.

In spite of countless criticism in the Ghanaian media for her musical prowess, or the lack of it, Mimi held a successful autograph and photo session during her alb um launch in Accra. Mimi also used the event to premiere the video for her new house track titled ‘DJ’. The video was shot by Phamous People, directors for her previous videos, ‘Leave Me Alone’ and ‘Tattoo’.

She explains her reasons for relying heavily on good music videos: “I believe in visualization and that’s why I do very good videos. At least when you listen and you don’t like my music, when you watch my video you will like it. A lot of people have told me that when they heard my songs, they didn’t really like it but, when they saw my videos, they loved it.”

Mimi describes her album as a good album, adding that, she is stepping into the game to take the industry to another level. “My music is dynamic; I can do anything depending on the timing. My song ‘DJ’ is house; it is very different from ‘Tattoo’ and ‘Leave Me Alone’. This is what I am talking about, we are about to change the music industry. ‘Leave Me Alone’ is across Africa right now. When you watch Big Brother Revolution, you would realize that every single person in the house sings my song when it is played.”

‘Music in Me’ essentially has four songs with remixes to ‘Leave Me Alone’ (featuring Efya, Caroline, Dela, Sita, and Pappi), and ‘Tattoo’ (featuring Tinny). Other cuts on the CD include ‘Fa Ma Mi’ featuring Tinny and three instrumentals. The album was produced by Movingui Records with beats by Kaywa and Richie.
