The Nigerian-Afropop jewel Guchi reinvents herself for her forthcoming EP.
The headies-nominated singer, Guchi, whose records have garnered hundreds of millions of streams across music platforms since her breakout single, Jennifer, hit the airwaves in February 2021, has released a jaw-dropping summer anthem titled, No Touching.
No Touching serves as the portal into the reinvented Guchi. While maintaining the familiar theme of love, she delivers yet another fantastic perspective on the effect of a unique romantic connection. The new single raises questions about the persistence of affection without sexual intimacy and the role of loyalty in maintaining a healthy relationship. It is a fanfare of appreciation, confirmation of commitment, and assurance, all whipped into this less-than-three-minute sonic vibe.
A standout feature of No Touching is its playful nod to James Brown’s 1964 classic pop hit “I Got You (I Feel Good),” with Guchi cleverly incorporating the iconic phrase, singing: I for come pull up on you when I want to, paranranranran na your love dey make me feel good.
Produced by hitmaker Tuzi, No Touching stands out as a resounding testament to Guchi’s exceptional talent and unwavering ambition. With its striking beats, enchanting background piano, and an irresistible hook, this track serves as an impressive summer anthem.
Guchi has been a resounding aura in the music industry, and the reinvented Guchi presents this record as a snippet of what to expect from her forthcoming project later this year.
Since her emergence in 2019, the Nigerian singer and songwriter Guchi has been one of the most elegant Afropop artists to come out of Africa. Her melodious voice and striking stage presence are only some of her outstanding features.
She gained recognition after the release of her debut single, No Be Jazzy, succeeded by Addicted and Closer, and in October 2020, she released I Am Guchi, A 5-track EP to display her consistency and dedication.
In February 2021, she released her hit record Jennifer, which amassed a staggering 100 million+ streams across platforms and spawned the viral TikTok challenge and was re-released in June 2021 in a re-mixed version featuring the Tanzanian singer, Ravanny.
In October 2021, her record Benzema, titled after French footballer Karim Benzema, debuted at #3 on the Billboard Top Triller Global Chart. Later, in 2022, she was featured on Rayvanny’s Sweet and released Shattered in March. Guchi further serenaded her rapidly growing fanbase with Purple Diary, a 6-track EP to end 2022 on a high note.
Guchi has firmly established herself as a dominant force in the music industry with chart-topping hits alongside her collaborations with Mega-stars like Yemi Alade and Zlatan, which further validates her exceptional talent whilst getting nominated for prestigious awards such as The HEADIES, AFRIMA, Prestige Entertainment Award, and others.
