I’m very happy with Zylofon Music - Becca

In response to recent alleged reports that songstress Becca was leaving her current record label, Zylofon Music, she has stated categorically that she is very impressed with the amount of work her team is exerting.

“I never planned to leave Zylofon Music. They are very comfortable with me. They love me as much as I love them”, she said.

Becca also told Andy Dosty on Hitz FM that, she does not pay heed to negative comments on social media or anywhere.

As a result, she was not even privy to the rumour that she wanted to terminate her contract with Nana Appiah Mensah’s Zylofon Music until the Daybreak Hitz host said.

Becca, real name Rebecca Akosua Acheampong has through her 10-year music journey, produced songs such as “African Woman”, “I Don’t Know” featuring Kofi Kinaata, “Na Wash” featuring Patoranking, “With You” featuring Stonebwoy among others, with her latest being, “Nana” featuring Sarkodie.

What is important is the message of a song; not the genre – Yaw Sarpong

Veteran Ghanaian gospel artiste, Yaw Sarpong, has urged people to focus on the message that a song carries.

He stated that the message is more important than the genre in which the song is coming from.

His comment follows Rex Omar’s assertion that there is no genre of music known as gospel.

“I agree with him [Rex Omar]. There are several songs which motivate and educate but they are not gospel songs. Whether highlife or whatever genre, it is the message that matter,” Yaw Sarpong said in an interview with DJ Murphy Lee on Bohye FM’s Midmorning Groove in Kumasi.

He explained: “Gospel song is any song that people can take advice from and also propagates the word of God.”

In a recent interview, highlife artiste, Rex Omar argued that gospel comes from the highlife genre.

“There is no genre of music called Gospel. If you listened to any of my albums, you will know that I have what Ghanaians call it gospel on it. There is not a single album from me which doesn’t have a gospel song.

“Even ‘Nhyira’ that I came out with is highlife but it is gospel. The genre is highlife but it is the message that determines whether it is a gospel song or not,” he stated.
