Solo hitmaker Article Wan says it’s difficult to determine which song will be a hit because the minds of Ghanaians who are the sole determinant of hit songs have unpredictable minds.
The Afrobeat artiste and relatively one of the most consistent artistes presently told Graphic Showbiz in an interview that what an artiste might think will be a huge success often turns to be a flop.
‘A song you think will be a hit might not work for you because you cannot tell the minds of Ghanaians. I put in a lot in my previous songs but it never worked for me until I dropped Solo which was everywhere,’ he told Showbiz.
He said that he believed Ghanaians wanted versatility. “A lot of musicians are releasing songs at the same time and it takes a musician who is versatile to stand tall,” he added.
“Can you imagine Stonebwoy, Kuami Eugene, Kofi Kinaata, Shatta Wale, Sarkodie, KiDi or Kwesi Arthur releasing songs at the same time? It will be difficult for the fans to accept them all; mind you the fans are the same people listening to all the musicians at the same time.
“At this time it takes a lot for a musician to get the attention he wants,” he said.
