Ghanaian music just got a literary twist! Singer Wendy Shay chose the Library of Africa and the African Diaspora (LOATAD) in Accra as the backdrop for the hot music video for her new single “Sapiosexual.” The song, celebrating the combination of sexual attraction and intellect, highlights one of the most inspiring spaces for African literature today.

LOATAD isn’t your average library. It’s a decolonized, activist, and artist-friendly hub built on a foundation of over 4,000 works by writers of African descent. Founded by Sylvia Arthur in 2017 with her personal collection of books, LOATAD has grown from a modest one-room setup into an internationally recognized cultural powerhouse.

Today, it’s home to everything from rare archives to outdoor events and film screenings — a dream spot for a bold, message-driven visual like “Sapiosexual.” The video is a vibrant mix of fashion, fire, and philosophy — set against a backdrop of books that tell the story of a continent and its people.

Wendy Shay, named one of the 3Music Awards’ Top 30 Most Influential Women, is an award-winning Ghanaian singer and songwriter with a unique style that blends Afrobeats, Highlife, and Hiplife. By teaming up with LOATAD, she bridges music, intellect, and Afro-diasporic pride in a way that feels fresh, fierce, and totally of the moment.

Shay just made reading sexy. And honestly? We’re here for it.
