The Rufftown Records first lady and self-proclaimed Queen of Ghana Music, Wendy Shay, has officially reclaimed her throne with the release of her powerful 2026 single titled “African King.” Following the massive success of her late 2025 album Ready, this new track finds the “Survivor” hitmaker switching to a new tempo that celebrates African identity, royalty, and the strength of the black man.
The song is a spectacular masterpiece that thrives on a rhythmic grit and a grand, orchestral Afrobeats production, providing a grand stage for Wendy Shay to exhibit her versatility. She delivered as usual, utilizing her commanding vocal range and bold lyricism to pay homage to the leaders and everyday heroes across the continent. “African King” is definitely a playlist starter that serves as an amazing and soothing single for your listening pleasure, blending modern pop sensibilities with deep-rooted cultural pride.
Coming off the back of her record-setting Shay Concert 2025 and her recent hits like “Special Love” with King Paluta, this new infectious record shows that Wendy Shay can’t stop feeding us with mind-blowing masterpieces. It is an impressive single that brings a regal and empowering vibe to the 2026 music landscape, making it a brand new scorcher that would be worth a space on your playlist.
