Esteemed Ghanaian music producer, Appietus, dismisses claims of stagnation in the local music scene, asserting that creativity cannot be forced.
He advocates for the natural evolution of musical expression, refuting the notion that the absence of constant song releases signifies a standstill.
“You cannot say the whole machinery has come to a halt because some artistes have not released newsongs,” he said.

Speaking on Accra 100.5 FM’s Akwaaba, Appietus criticized the misconception by some entertainment journalists and pundits who overlook the creative process, emphasizing that, like fruits, artists and their music have unique seasons.

“It takes hard work and if they rush to put out a song, they will again be mocked for releasing a song of poor quality,” he noted.

He underscored the importance of allowing musicians the space to follow planned schedules, highlighting the potential impact on their health if rushed.
