Meet Jason Herman Bortei-Doku, known as Herman Suede, born on November 21, 2002. At the age of 5, he started studying classical music on the piano and took formal music lessons. Now, at 20 years old, he’s polished his musical skills to stand out in the competitive music industry.
Herman Suede is an artist who keeps pushing the boundaries of Ghanaian music. His music is a unique blend of Afro-pop, R&B, Alté, and Amapiano, with captivating vocals and meaningful lyrics. He’s even received praise from music legends like will.i.am and Timbaland.
Already, Herman has showcased his talent with the hit song “Your Love,” released in August 2023, which has gathered over 250,000 streams on all platforms.
Now, Herman returns with a 4-track EP titled “A Wonderful Time.” This EP captures the essence of celebration, freedom, and joy as the year comes to a close, and we gear up for the festive Christmas season. It’s Herman’s third multi-track project, following the “Bittersweet EP” in 2021.
In this latest EP, each song encourages us to let go of the stress and anxiety that’s weighed us down throughout the year. It urges us to focus on life’s pleasures, whether that’s through love, partying, road trips, or simply taking care of ourselves. Each song paints a unique picture and transports the listener to a different time and place with every play.
In “A Wonderful Time,” Herman starts with a vibrant alté-inspired intro song called “Vanilla” and smoothly transitions to a traditional Afrobeats love ballad called “Lover,” featuring fellow Ghanaian artist Niashun. Together, they put their own spin on courting a love interest and losing control in the process. Herman then offers a modern take on palm wine and highlife music with the title track, “Wonderful Time,” featuring UK Artist Benty. Finally, the EP wraps up with “Final Destination,” a high-energy Amapiano-infused club banger that signals the end of the journey. It’s time to party and let go of pent-up emotions and tension.
You can now enjoy “A Wonderful Time” on all major streaming platforms.
