Legendary Highlife musician, Gyedu-Blay Ambolley, has accused the contemporary musicians of lacking meaningful lyrics to make their music resonate.
According to him, they have not gained deeper experience in life to motivate their lyrical content of their music.
In a recent media interview, Ambolley expressed concern about the development and believed had turned many music into chaff and girlfriend narratives.
“The musicians of today just make music about their girlfriends because they haven’t grown. They haven’t faced life in a deep way to be motivated to make meaningful, resonating music,” he argued.
The “Simigwa-Do” hitmaker also expressed concern about how the generation had allowed western music to transform the authentic highlife music and advised them to take a turn.
“If you listen to the songs of Shatta Wale, Black Sherif, and others, their beats are all Western beats. There is no Highlife in there,” he added.
