Hello amazing people of the Hive Open Mic Community. It’s your boy @akwash360 once again. For this week’s edition, I decided to do a cover of the legendary song “African Queen” by 2Face. It was the first song that came to mind immediately after I saw the theme of the week. To add my own twist, I chose to render it in a reggae style instead of the original pattern.

African Queen is one of those timeless songs I love to sing to the love of my life because it expresses pure affection. Ladies always appreciate it when you call them sweet names like African Queen, it makes them feel cherished and reassured of the love you claim to have as a partner. Personally, whenever I notice that my babe is down or in a bad mood, I sing this song to cheer her up. Each time, it brings a charming smile to her face, and that smile means so much to me.

I must also commend 2Face for his brilliance as an artist. He and his team did an incredible job with this masterpiece. From the backup singers to the instrumentalists, everyone delivered excellently, and I truly respect their effort.
