Although\u2008he wouldn\u2019t mention them, popular Highlife artiste, Ofori Amponsah aka Mr All 4Real, has expressed regret over some of the iconic hits in his repertoire which he was forced to record due to hunger.<\/p>\n
Ofori Amponsah who has collaborated with musicians including Daddy Lumba, Kofi Nti, Barosky, K.K. Fosu, Sarkodie, King Promise among others is known for hit songs such as Emmanuella, Otoolege, Sardine, Alewa, Odwo, Anigyena, Daamabi, Bonwire, Lady, Tintin, Abele, Hello, Broken Heart, Puduo and Sampson and Delilah among others.<\/p>\n
It is therefore hard to guess which of his songs made his lyrical regrets list because Ofori Amponsah\u2019s groove can be described as impeccable. He has amazing tunes to his credit.<\/p>\n
Yet, he wished he never recorded some of his songs including some of the bangers we love so much. Yes, the songs that still get us bopping, tapping our feet, or driving us to the dancefloor to do our own thing.<\/p>\n
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Graphic , the Otoolege hitmaker said there were songs he was not proud of but had to do them to survive because he was not financially sound back then.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn this music business, you sometimes do things certain things to survive. I did a couple of songs that were popular all over Ghana but honestly, I am not proud of those songs because hunger pushed me to do them.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose songs didn\u2019t come from within and I wouldn\u2019t have done them if I were financially okay back then. But I had to pay the bills\u2014utility bills, school fees among other things,\u201d he disclosed.<\/p>\n
However, according to Ofori Amponsah, if a musician makes money the main reason he records songs, he may come out with a hit that may trend for a while but the artiste together with his hit will fizzle out in no time at all.<\/p>\n
\u201cMusicians who make their \u2018stomachs\u2019 their priority become irrelevant after a period of time. When you are a musician and you are always thinking of making money to pay bills or sort yourself out, you may not come out with a very good song.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIn this case, your priority won\u2019t be the content you put out but the money, and you will end up becoming irrelevant in no time. A song like Abele was something that came from my \u2018within\u2019 and such songs can last for a very long time. In fact, they are evergreen,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
