Search by Kelvyn Boy ft. Efya
Kelvyn Boy ends his 2020 debut album Blackstar with track 10 titled Search featuring Efya.
After starting with Prayer and moving through love, ambition, party, unity, friendship, breakthrough, wisdom, and consciousness, Blackstar closes with Search. The title fits. It feels like the final question. The final reflection. The final look inward.
Efya is one of Ghana’s best vocalists. Her voice is powerful, emotional, and elegant. Pairing her with Kelvyn Boy for the album closer is perfect. Two of Ghana’s strongest melodies. Two artists who know how to make you feel.
Musically, Search leans into Afro-fusion with soul and R&B influence. The production is likely soft, intimate, and spacious. It gives both singers room to glide. This is not a loud ending. It is a thoughtful one. The kind of song you play when the night is quiet and you are thinking about life.
Lyrically, Search is about looking. Looking for love, looking for purpose, looking for answers. After 9 tracks of experiences, Kelvyn Boy and Efya ask the big questions. What are we chasing? What are we missing? What are we trying to find?
The word “Search” connects back to the whole album. We prayed in track 1. We loved in track 2. We chased a visa in track 3. We celebrated in track 4. We linked with friends in track 5. We appreciated them in track 6. We said “finally” in track 7. We learned to watch nobody in track 8. We questioned government in track 9. And now in track 10, we search.
That is a full journey. Blackstar is not random. It has structure. It has meaning. Ending with Search says the journey does not really end. Even after all the growth, there is still more to look for.
Efya brings depth to the song. She has a way of singing that feels like she is talking directly to your soul. Kelvyn Boy matches her with vulnerability. No ego. No flex. Just truth. That honesty is why this song works as a closer.
For fans, Search is the track you sit with. It is not for the club. It is for headphones. For late night drives. For moments when you need to process everything. It gives the album a soft landing.
The collaboration also matters. Kelvyn Boy and Efya represent two different generations of Ghanaian music excellence. Bringing them together on the last track says the future and the present can create something beautiful.
On Blackstar, Search ties everything together. Pride, culture, growth. Those three words from the album cover. You are proud of who you are, so you search for more. You love your culture, so you search for ways to elevate it. You are growing, so you search for what is next.
Kelvyn Boy chose to end his debut with reflection instead of a big banger. That is confidence. That is artistry. He trusts the listener to stay with him to the end.
Blackstar as a whole introduced Kelvyn Boy as a complete artist. And Search featuring Efya is the proof. It shows he can do depth, melody, and emotion at the highest level.
Search is track 10 from Kelvyn Boy’s 2020 album Blackstar featuring Efya.
