“Mood wasn’t part of my plans [initially],” Mr Drew has said, telling the story of how one of his most successful songs took shape and was released.

“I was working on my Alpha album,” he narrated. “I had recorded most of my songs already, and he [Beatz Vampire] played that beat, and – I think that I was going to do a feature with Victor AD for my album and he played that beat. Initially, it was going to be me and Victor AD on a song like that – I was trying to find a melody for it.

“Even Kelvynboy actually chipped something in – big shouts to Kelvynboy. I’ve never mentioned this anywhere because I keep forgetting. He chipped something in and I think I tried recording it and I put it down for later. So when I was finalising the album, I made Vampire play it again and he said, ‘Chale, won’t you let us finish this song?’ So we finished it.”

The music star spoke to Zeal Nana Kweku Bliss on Class 91.3 FM’s Class Xtra.

When Mood was done, Mr Drew continued, “we played it to people [like] Baba Sadiq. Later, I was listening to it over, and over, and over, and I said, ‘Let’s just do [release] it’. I wanted it to come out properly and I think people actually felt [enjoyed] it, too. As you said, the video was [chef kiss] – Aaliyah – the model, video vixen or dancer – did her thing. She complemented me and working with her was easy.”

“Mood had to come out right, and I’m glad that we did that,” the award-winning entertainer emphasised contentedly.

Concluding, he jokingly remarked, “My only issue is, I had really slimmed down making my head look quite big.”
