The record, released via\u00a0<strong>Real World Records<\/strong>, is a collaboration with producer and artist\u00a0<strong>Wanlov the Kubolor<\/strong>, and draws together social intent with musical experimentation.<\/p>\n<p>On\u00a0<em>Come<\/em>, Lamisi\u2019s voice moves between northern Ghanaian rhythmic traditions and contemporary electronic textures. The song takes its cues from everyday village exchanges, call-and-response patterns translated into instrumental form, while the lyrics focus on care, dignity and the importance of maintaining boundaries when offering help. It\u2019s a reflective piece that resists spectacle, letting structure and rhythm do the work.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe title=\"Lamisi - Come (Official Video)\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3HNP8nqrmiE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p><em>Let Us Clap<\/em>\u00a0centres women\u2019s clapping traditions from northern Ghana, reframing them as both musical foundation and political statement. Across its nine tracks, handclaps underpin shifting tempos and electronic treatments, with vocoded vocals sitting alongside organic grooves. Rather than presenting tradition as fixed, the album treats it as something open to reconfiguration.<\/p>\n<p>Wanlov the Kubolor\u2019s role as musical director brings an urban sensibility shaped by hip-hop, satire and activism. Known in Ghana for his outspoken advocacy, including work supporting LGBT+ rights and environmental causes, his production here emphasises tension and movement rather than polish. \u201cTomorrow is in dialogue with the past,\u201d he notes, describing music shaped by where it comes from rather than where it\u2019s marketed.<\/p>\n<p>For Lamisi, the project is inseparable from her work beyond music. Based in Accra, she leads the Lamisi Fata Foundation, which supports girls and young women in northern Ghana, a context she speaks about directly in the album\u2019s themes.\u00a0<em>Let Us Clap<\/em>\u00a0positions music as both cultural expression and social record, documenting lived experience while insisting on the value of collective action.<\/p>\n<p>Let Us Clap is out 20 February 2026\u00a0\u2013 pre-order HERE.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"960\" data-attachment-id=\"279935\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.backseatmafia.com\/track-lamisi-shares-new-single-come-from-let-us-clap\/luc\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.backseatmafia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LUC.jpg?fit=960%2C960&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"960,960\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"LUC\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.backseatmafia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LUC.jpg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.backseatmafia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LUC.jpg?fit=960%2C960&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.backseatmafia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LUC.jpg?resize=960%2C960&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-279935\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.backseatmafia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LUC.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.backseatmafia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LUC.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.backseatmafia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LUC.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.backseatmafia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LUC.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.backseatmafia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LUC.jpg?resize=70%2C70&amp;ssl=1 70w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.backseatmafia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LUC.jpg?resize=335%2C335&amp;ssl=1 335w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.backseatmafia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LUC.jpg?resize=360%2C360&amp;ssl=1 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\"\/><\/figure>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-block sd-like jetpack-likes-widget-wrapper jetpack-likes-widget-unloaded\" id=\"like-post-wrapper-81918055-279933-696b097342719\" data-src=\"https:\/\/widgets.wp.com\/likes\/?ver=15.4#blog_id=81918055&amp;post_id=279933&amp;origin=www.backseatmafia.com&amp;obj_id=81918055-279933-696b097342719\" data-name=\"like-post-frame-81918055-279933-696b097342719\" data-title=\"Like or Reblog\">\n<h3 class=\"sd-title\">Like this:<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"button\"><span>Like<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"loading\">Loading&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"sd-text-color\"\/><\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_GB\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&amp;appId=249643311490&version=v2.3\"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));<\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>#Lamisi #Releases #Single #fromLet #Clap #Backseat #Mafia<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ghanaian artist and activist\u00a0Lamisi\u00a0has shared\u00a0Come, the second single from her forthcoming album\u00a0Let Us Clap, marking a clear shift in sound and approach.
