Kwesi Arthur delivers a triumphant mid-tempo anthem with “I Be Where I Wanted To Be.” Arriving as the second track on Redemption Valley, the song serves as a bold affirmation of his current standing in the global music landscape, despite the hurdles he has faced.
The song is a melodic Afro-fusion record that blends highlife-inspired guitars with modern trap percussions. While the intro was somber, this track focuses on the satisfaction of achievement. The lyrics tackle the journey from the streets of Tema to international stages, with Kwesi asserting that his current position is exactly what he manifested years ago. It is an inspiring, self-assured piece that reflects his role as a pioneer for the youth, speaking directly to anyone striving to turn their dreams into a tangible reality.
Musically, the track features a bright, uplifting groove that highlights his ability to craft infectious hooks. His delivery is relaxed and tuneful, creating a sense of “ease” that mirrors the song’s title. By placing this early in the album, Kwesi has effectively shifted the narrative from struggle to success.
