The Norwegian-Ghanaian singer, Akuvi, has opened up about fear, trust, and healing in her new emotional Afro R&B release, “Let Me Know.”
Akuvi’s new single “Let Me Know” is not just another love song. It is a gentle, emotional Afrobeat track that talks about something many people, especially young peopl,e can understand: the fear of loving again after getting hurt.
With this song, the rising Norwegian-Ghanaian Afro R&B artist Akuvi shows that love is not always loud or confident. Sometimes, love is quiet, scared, and full of questions.
A Song About Fear and Honesty in Love
At the heart of Let Me Know is a simple but powerful message: be honest with me before I give you my heart. Akuvi sings from the place of someone who has been hurt before and does not want to make the same mistake again. The song talks about wanting clarity in a relationship before emotions take over.
In the lyrics, she sings lines like “baby, you should let me…”, which feel like a soft plea. She is asking for truth, reassurance, and openness. The message is clear enough for a 15-year-old to understand: if someone really cares about you, they should be clear about their intentions.
Akuvi has explained that the song is like refusing to enter a boat if you don’t know where it is going. That image is very easy to understand. Why risk your heart if you don’t know the direction of the relationship?
Sound and Style: Afrobeat Meets Emotion
Musically, Let Me Know blends Afrobeats, Afro R&B, and alternative sounds. The beat is calm and dreamy, not too fast, not too loud. This gives space for Akuvi’s voice to shine. Her vocals are raspy, soulful, and emotional, carrying the feeling of someone strong but still healing.
One special part of the song is how she mixes English with Ewe, her native Ghanaian language. The second verse, written by her brother Marshano, includes the Ewe phrase “na manya”, which adds more emotion and cultural depth to the song. Even if you don’t understand the language, you can feel the meaning through the tone and delivery.
Fans often describe Akuvi’s music as “sad afrobeats”, and this song fits that style perfectly. If you like artists like Omah Lay, Gyakie, or even Billie Eilish, you will connect with the emotional depth of Let Me Know.
Recorded in Ghana, Felt Everywhere
The song was recorded in Accra, Ghana, with producer Kojo Steve, and you can feel the warmth and honesty in the production. It does not try too hard. Instead, it lets the emotions lead. This makes the song feel real and personal, like a diary entry turned into music.
Akuvi’s ability to turn personal pain into relatable music is one of her biggest strengths. She does not hide her fear or confusion. She shares it, and that makes listeners feel less alone.
Akuvi is not new to the spotlight. She has performed on major stages, opened for stars like Shenseea and Stonebwoy, and even voiced characters in Netflix and Disney productions, including Encanto.
She has also performed at big events like the AfroFuture Festival and is set to join Stonebwoy again at Bhimfest in Ghana.
With Let Me Know, she is also taking the song on her world tour, performing it at major events like the Full Moon Party in Zanzibar. This shows how far her music is reaching, across Africa and beyond.
Akuvi uses simple words, soft sounds, and deep feelings to tell a story many people can relate to. This single confirms that Akuvi is a rising voice in Afro R&B and Afrobeats, and she is not afraid to be vulnerable. With honesty like this, her music will continue to touch hearts around the world.
