British-Ghanaian music producer and singer-songwriter ginius has released her highly anticipated new project titled “Here’s Where We Once Were, the most personal body of work of her career to date.
The tape blends Afro R&B, Amapiano, and ginius’ signature “afro blend” sound; a vibrant weave of Ghanaian Highlife, modern Afropop, and Contemporary R&B, featuring productions from Insvne Auggie across “Love Me Softly”, “Woman”, “Different (Remix)”, and “So You Do”; Joker on “Test Drive”; Okukuseku the Bang Machine on “Lost & Numb”; and KFM Dadaba on “Time & Attention”, a track that began as a pure freestyle with mix and master by Van Boied.
According to ginius: “This is probably the realest tape I ever wrote. Some of the songs I have written prior to this I had not lived but this is a tape that every part has once been my reality. It’s the beginning of the end; simply put.”
Across the project, ginius praises and grieves the different stages of a relationship from infatuation to disbelief to the quiet question of how it all ended. It is a tape that does not shy away from the full arc of love, because as ginius puts it, love is bound to end, whether through a breakup or unfortunately death. What matters is how you choose to remember it.
ginius has carved out her own lane by staying deeply connected to her cultural roots. More than a singer or beatmaker, she is a producer’s producer; crafting soundscapes that soundtrack the lives of her loyal fan base, the Copilots.
“Here’s Where We Once Were” is out now on all major streaming platforms.
