Kofi Kinaata has responded to critics who say his music can only be enjoyed by local folks. According to Kinaata, it’s reallly difficult to wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.
He made this comment during a recent radio interview when he was answering a question on whether his songs can get international breakthrough as compared to songs of other artistes.
He said;
“A lot of songs become hits globally when it was not actually sung in English.
When we started, nobody expected greatness from us. We dropped Susuka and the song was everywhere but they said it’s normal in the life of an artiste to get a major hit song.
We then released Confession and it was a monster hit but they again doubted and said we’ve gotten our biggest song so we can’t go beyond that.
We dropped Sweetie pie and now it’s things fall apart but what do you expect from naysayers. When someone is forcing himself or pretending to be sleeping it’s virtually impossible to wake that person up.
If you like go and record your song in heaven, let Jesus Christ play the beats for God to do the mastering still someone will still find faults with your type and style of music”.
When you start the journey in the music industry you initially see it to be a competition but as you grow in the game you realize that it’s actually a contribution.”
