Known for his smashing hit single βNye He Ye Feoβ released over a decade ago, Daniel Neequaye Kotey popularly known by his stage name Klala mentioned in an interview that the music of today has no messages.
As stated by the singer, βif you compare our old songs to the songs they do these days, there is a vast difference between the two. In terms of the messages, they all carry.
βThe songs ofΒ Amakye DedeΒ and Amandzeba are still trending today because they carried a lot of messages. Twenty years ago but it still trendingβ, he said.
Discussing on e.TV Ghana with Foster Romanus on the Late Nite Celebrity Show, he said that back in the day, they used to put much work into their songs.
βThey write music with style, purpose, and culture. All the songs had messages in themββ¦he said.
He furthered that, in todayβs songs, the only thing they focus on is the beat and that is because people want to dance.
βWhen you are meditating, you donβt need a dancing song but rather a song to ginger you, to lift your spirit upβ, he said.
According to the singer, those songs were like motivational books. But songs of today have nothing to talk about.
Klala is known for songs such as, βAbroad and Ataa Kweiβ.
