BENZEMA, Ugochi Lydia Onuoha is the Nigerian Afropop singer, songwriter and performing act globally known as Guchi. Following the virality of her hit single Jennifer, Guchi is also recognized as one of the pioneers to define Tiktok as a massive influencing tool for talent discovery and music distribution.
As Africa continues to balance out the consistent representation of women in its music industry, Guchi pulls enough weight to tilt the scale.
Benzema is marinated in many African flavours that give it a continental appeal while possessing a soccer title theme that could have the song far-flung to the ends of the earth.
In figurative reference to French Footballer Karim Benzema, the single is a well-delivered rendition of a love-smitten woman ready to go above and beyond for a reciprocating lover.
Guchi, in all her divine feminine glory, sensually threads words and melodies that could unarm the most guarded of hearts. She sings “In my head, you dey play, you dey score, you be Benzema“,
essentially applauding her partner’s capability of nailing their relationship goals.
The song was produced by Chech. The video was directed by Gorilla Boy.
