The new single “Show Me Love” by Ooberfuse, featuring Cameroonian refugee Abdel Tchatchet, is a moving and timely release for World Mental Health Day. The song tackles themes of displacement and isolation while encouraging listeners to reflect on their own struggles with being uprooted and misunderstood.
Abdel Tchatchet, who sought refuge in the UK in 2021, shares his story through the song. Now living in Birmingham, he is not only pursuing his passion for music but also studying to become a mental health therapist. His collaboration with Oberfuse, an alternative pop duo from Woolwich, London, brings a blend of powerful storytelling and heartfelt music.
“Show Me Love” challenges the tendency to “other” those who are struggling and invites everyone to find connection through shared experiences. With Ooberfuse’s strong reputation for live performances around the world, this song brings together both their musical expertise and Abdel’s personal journey in a track that resonates deeply with the themes of mental health, resilience, and empathy.
