X-Shai, the fresh face of Afrobeat, is stirring attention with his newest single “I Thank God for My Glory”. The Ghanaian‑Nigerian‑American musician, whose birth name is Ernest Abitih, is rapidly establishing himself among Africa’s most promising talents, fusing heartfelt lyricism, compelling grooves, and a modern Afrobeat vibe that recalls Burna Boy, Oxlade, and Ruger.
From a young age, X-Shai’s love for music shaped a style that feels genuine yet forward‑thinking. His creative vision crystallized earlier in 2024 when he dropped his debut album Love Perfect, a record that has already made waves throughout Africa. The album includes highlights such as “G.Y.L.I.M.”, “Crush”, and the emotive title track “Love Perfect”, each demonstrating his skill at merging mellow soul with Afrobeat dynamism.
X-Shai’s expanding influence has drawn attention. He was recently bestowed the Best New Diaspora Afrobeat Musician award at the TM News Summit & Awards, cementing his status as one of the most thrilling emerging voices in the genre.
Through “I Thank God for My Glory”, X-Shai presents a robust and inspiring anthem that honors resilience, thankfulness, and victory—key elements of his path and creative expression. The track underscores his developing sound and his unmistakable promise to lead the Afrobeat arena and beyond.
