Ghanaian musician-Mzbel who has been struggling for a come back for many years has stated that Ghanaian songs of today do not make any sense—-the reason why her sensible songs have not been successful.
In an interview with Hitz Fm, Mzbel said when she entered music, songs used to make a hell lot of sense but today, it’s a whole different unappealing ball game.
She explained: “Now people go to the studio and in less than 24 hours thy have an album with 10 songs. Back then you go to the studio and you spend like one week for one song. Even to mix and master takes time.”
“Like I said you have to have a storyline but now people go and all they say is “panpanaa ajei” and that’s all. Some don’t even mix and master their song. No storyline, direction nothing,” she added.
And she blamed consumers that their obsession with trash songs is driving the train, saying:
Unfortunately, the generation now is crazy about things like that. They don’t need anyone to advise them so if you want to do that, they you have to take your music.
Now all the upcoming artistes are following the trend. To me, music doesn’t make sense anymore. Only a few ones will take time to tell a story and throw in some advise along the line but 90% is just making noise.
And yes, she said her songs are not breaking through because she has refused to buy into the order of the day to make trash songs—making it difficult for her quality songs to become a hit today.
