Tic Music deconstructs King Paluta's music
According to TiC, King Paluta's Makoma struck a chord with most Ghanaians because the artiste was able to interpret the country's peculiar taste in music and incorporate it into the song.
The Fefe Na Fe hitmaker weighed in on King Paluta's strides on social media, saying,
"This song has the real Ghanaian music DNA. Now, this DNA is planted in everyones blood. So, any time any artist triggers it. Their soul is awakened, and boom, there's an explosion like a dynamite."
Tic Music is one of the most revered names in Ghanaian music history. Thanks to his partnership with Tony Tetuila, he is one of the only few musicians from Ghana to register significant success in Nigeria.
Despite King Paluta's rise since pivoting to singing, some industry professionals have criticised his vocal abilities. Recently, a radio pundit expressed his disappointment over King Paluta's voice and advised him to hire a voice coach.
Speaking to YEN.com.gh about King Paluta's infectious new single, entertainment analyst Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh said,
TiC's remark is rosy, and I believe King Paluta's team will receive it well. For me its special because it comes on the back of criticisms about King Paluta's vocal prowess and the call for Ghana to reclaim its sonic identity. This shows he's doing something right. It also underscores the fact it is possible for indigenous Ghanaian songs to compete on the global scale.
