Ghanaian artist Cina Soul returns to the music scene with her debut album, Did I Lie.

Did I Lie is a 12-track album that features collaborations with notable artists such as Sarkodie, O’Kenneth, Mr Drew, Sefa, Olivetheboy, Stonebwoy, and others. According to GhanWeb, Cina views this album as her biggest achievement to date. Also, when asked about the album's title, the 2016 first runner-up at the Vodafone Icons Remix Edition stated that it serves as proof of her musical talents.

Cina Soul has proven her talent and versatility with her debut album, which establishes her position in the music industry. She uses music as an emotional outlet while showcasing her unconventional creativity. The project peaked at number 10 on the Apple Music Album chart in Ghana, highlighting its positive reception.

The album opens with Breath, a soulful track that blends her Ga heritage with subtle highlife elements, making it a fitting introduction. She follows up with Big Manye, which translates to “Big Queens” in English. This track features an all-women lineup—Sefa, Titi Owusu, and Lifesize Teddy—who bring their unique energy and finesse to create a standout moment on the album.

Different Place is a solo entry that stands out as one of the album’s most intimate moments. Cina takes listeners on an emotional journey, baring her soul with raw and heartfelt delivery. She then switches things up with Basintale, a dancehall-infused track characterized by its impeccable flow and rhythm.

Keeping the dancehall energy alive, the fifth track, Larger Than Life, features the Ghanaian dancehall King, Stonebwoy. The collaboration has already gained traction, with over 70,000 streams across platforms, proving to be one of the most talked-about tracks on the project.

Arizona brings a vibrant and danceable vibe driven by an irresistible groove that will have listeners moving within the first minute.

When you think you have her sound figured out, Cina Soul surprises us with Good Lies, a reggae-infused track where she effortlessly weaves tongue-twisting flows while trying to hide her lover-girl side. She sure does have a big sack of surprising talent up her sleeves.

The album takes another turn with Suloli, featuring Olivetheboy. This track is pure magic, with Olivetheboy bringing his unique flavor to the show.

The pre-released track, Too Bad, has been making a name for itself even before the album release. She taps into her bad gyal persona, with amazing features Sarkodie and O’Kenneth adding another layer of unapologetic magic to the overall tone of the track.

And if you love Riddim and club bangers, Sexy Riddim is the perfect fit. From this point, Cina takes full control, delivering back-to-back solo entries to wrap up the album with Personal and Tuff Times closing it up.

With Did I Lie, Cina Soul proves that taking your time to create the perfect body of work based on artistic evolution pays off. This project is a testament to her artistry, versatility, and unwavering dedication to her craft.
