Mr. Leo
My 2015 in 3 words: Strategic, challenging, progressive.

Hoping to correct all these in 2016. Having a good plan for the year as per releases (what song to release & when, promoting the right way).

Salatiel
2015, for me in 3 words: Challenging, formative, kick-starter
In 2015, we had a lot of short comings caused by many external factors that held me from attacking full scale as planned, so 2016 is the year to eliminate these negative factors and give full scale.
I am hoping by the end of year 2016 that Salatiel should be one of Africa's most talked about and visible producer and artist.
For Alpha Better Records, it is the year to confirm what we started. It will be a year with many releases, and new acts will be introduced, with a focus especially on branding and promo. I would say we hope 2016 is the year we can show the world at large what we are really and fully made of.

NEW ARTIST ALE MYZ BURNS ALL HER ENEMIES WITH FIRE...


Meet ALE MYZ, a US-based Mamfe born and Limbe raised Cameroonian Afro-pop, Soul/RnB Singer and Songwriter. Her debut song FIRE” is an inspirational song written and composed by herself. It is an afro-pop song written in both English and Pidgin English, which serves to entertain, uplift and inpsire some soul searching. The song is drawn from a personal perspective and also from experiences by friends and family.

The beat was produced by EC Neeba and enhanced by Tam Gaelo, who also recorded, mixed and mastered the song. “As soon as I heard the beat, I knew I could do something unique with it” states Ale Myz

The lyrics are very clear and simple, which eases listening and understanding. Ale Myz also uses a lot of rhyming to make the song pleasant in the ears with a message that is equally straightforward.

Ale Myz says she believes people will love and relate to the song because we all have a common enemy, Satan who seeks our downfall always, and then his agents on earth who are people we see everyday. They smile in front of you and then go behind and visit shrines or hold meetings at night to tie one’s progress or even to kill. 

Fire” was premiered at the concert of legendary Cameroonian artist Petit Pays held in Dallas on Sat Nov 21st 2015 in which Ale Myz performed alongside other upcoming Cameroonian artists.  A video release is scheduled for January.

Listen to the song below...
