Beyonce - The President's Daughter is probably the biggest movie out of Africa in the last year. The Ghanaian movie (produced by Venus Films) rode the distribution channels of Nollywood and the stardom of Nadia Buari, Van Vicker and Jackie Appiah to international fame. The movie is popular all over Africa as well as in the African Diaspora. 'Save my soul' is the name of the original soundtrack for the movie. The lyrics and video are below.
Save my soul lyrics
Verse
Life so unfair, so unfeeling, all despair
Love so, so dear, everlasting, always there
A voice in the wilderness is crying out
Can you hear?
The eyes to deceive what you see is not what you get
Is not what you get
Chorus
Oh love, oh love, please save my soul (rescue me)
Remove all the pains and sorrow (Lord, save me, Lord save me)
It's more than I can take
Sunshine, a ray of hope that rise and hide my shadows and make me happy again...again
Verse 2
Dreams fade away into the mountains, into the sea
The rain, it's ok, it's still falling, I wish you could see
A drum, it's the beat, of the heart will not stop
Oh tears form a stream, form a river
Drops of love, oh drops of love
Repeat Chorus
Oh love, oh love, please save my soul (rescue me)
Remove all the pains and sorrow (Lord, save me, Lord save me)
It's more than I can take
Sunshine, a ray of hope that rise and hide my shadows and make me happy again...again
Chorus
Oh love, oh love, please save my soul (rescue me/save me)
Remove all the pains and sorrow (Lord, save me, Lord save me)
It's more than I can take (more than I can take)
Sunshine, a ray of hope that rise and hide my shadows and make me happy again...again

Watch the Save my soul video
Van Vicker who played Raj in the movie has become very famous on the back of this cinema hit. The reception that greeted him on his tour of the USA was great and he is poised to land bigger roles. Nadia Buari (daughter of ace Ghanaian musician) played the Beyonce character in the movie. She was recently honoured as 'Best Actress from Ghana' at the 5 Continents Annual Academy Awards ceremony in New York. The awards ceremony was at the Marriott Hotel and organized by the Haitian community. Jackie Appiah (Ciara) has been winning awards as well and is the face of IPMC Ghana.
'Beyonce' is the story of Beyonce, who is the president's daughter (Ghana). She lives in wealth and enjoys a lot of power. She falls in love with Raj who already has a girlfriend called Ciara. Bent on winning his heart, Beyonce showers Raj with lots of love and uses her influence to get Ciara beat up and ultimately Ciara's face becomes disfigured. In a bid to save her life (soul), Ciara is pronounced dead and she escapes out of the country.
In the sequel, 'Return of Beyonce', Ciara returns to Ghana with a facial makeover. Beyonce is shot on her wedding day (with Raj) and loses some of her memory. Raj eventually discovers Ciara. Eventually, Raj is convicted of killing the psychologist hired by the president to care for her daughter. It may seem like I've given the movie away but you should really watch the movie, the drama alone would keep you coming back for more. The video and audio quality is great and the story is good too. The movie also features Kalsum Sinare, Fritz Baffour, Dan Tei Mensah and Ziggy Netteyson.
How this popular movie was named Beyonce and her rival being called Ciara beats me, they couldn't get more common names? The other big question here is - who sang the song, 'Save my soul'? Where are her other singles and albums? :-)
Who sings Save my soul - soundtrack of the Beyonce movie?
We found out about the lady. Her name is Austine Erowele
