In an interview of Nana Tuffour sighted by zionfelix.net, he told Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM that even though these young musicians are doing well in the music industry, they should pay attention to their lyrics if they desire to be remembered for forever by Ghanaian highlife music lovers.
“…King Promise, Kidi, Kuami Eugene, I like their reflexes and voices. What is left with them is the lyrics. They don’t elaborate, that brings in the passion, so the songs never die. If you sing in a simple manner, people will dance and have the feel but it didn’t come from your heart…The lyrics should always be explained further so people can relate it to life…” he stated.
