Ghanaian singer and songwriter OV has made a bold return to the music scene with her emotionally charged single “I Stress”, produced by the talented Samsney. Known for her distinctive voice and ability to blend multiple genres effortlessly, OV has consistently captivated listeners with her deep and meaningful lyrics. In “I Stress”, she delivers a raw and honest account of life’s struggles, mental health challenges, and the burden of stress that many people can relate to.
OV, born Barbara Naa Okailey Nyarko, gained prominence after winning the 2018 edition of MTN Hitmaker, a music reality competition that showcases the best of Ghana’s rising talent. Following her win, she was signed to Burniton Music Group, owned by Stonebwoy, where she gained significant recognition with songs like “Want Me” featuring Stonebwoy and “Zaddy”. Her ability to fuse Afrobeats, dancehall, and R&B into her music has made her a unique force in Ghana’s music industry. However, like many young artists, she has faced setbacks, including parting ways with her former label. Despite these challenges, OV has remained resilient, using her music as an outlet to express her personal experiences.
In “I Stress”, OV touches on deep emotional struggles that many people face but rarely talk about. The song is a reflection of personal battles, heartbreak, disappointments, and the overwhelming nature of stress in modern life. She sings about the pain of betrayal, the loneliness that comes with inner struggles, and the feeling of being weighed down by expectations. The track is deeply relatable, particularly in an era where mental health awareness is growing, and many people are learning to express their emotions through art and music.
Samsney, the producer behind the song, has done an excellent job in creating a melancholic yet rhythmic instrumental that allows OV to fully express her emotions. The beat is carefully crafted, starting with soft piano chords that set a reflective mood before transitioning into a laid-back yet intense rhythm. The bassline is deep, adding weight to the song, while the subtle use of guitar and background harmonies enhances the emotional appeal of the track. The production quality ensures that OV’s voice remains the focal point, allowing listeners to feel every emotion she pours into the lyrics.
Lyrically, OV does not hold back. She lays bare her thoughts, speaking candidly about her struggles and the pressure of keeping up with life’s challenges. Lines in the song convey a sense of exhaustion and frustration, as she expresses how stress has taken a toll on her mental and emotional well-being. She describes the weight of expectations, the pain of feeling misunderstood, and the never-ending cycle of trying to stay strong even when things seem hopeless. The lyrics are raw and unfiltered, making it easy for listeners to connect with the message on a personal level.
In today’s fast-paced world, where many people are silently battling anxiety, depression, and emotional distress, a song like “I Stress” is timely. It sheds light on the importance of acknowledging mental health struggles and seeking support when needed. OV’s honest storytelling makes the song more than just music—it becomes a message of solidarity for those who feel alone in their battles.
Beyond the lyrics, OV’s vocal delivery is another highlight of the song. Her voice carries an undeniable passion that amplifies the emotions embedded in the lyrics. She blends a mix of soft and powerful vocals, switching between smooth melodies and more intense singing as she emphasizes the weight of stress.
