"Shatta Wale is Ghana’s most consistent at releasing music" - Myers
In an exclusive interview with YEN.com.gh, entertainment pundit, Myers Hansen spoke about Shatta Wale's consistency in releasing albums and songs.
He noted that the dancehall musician arguably releases music and albums frequently, unlike his peers in the music industry.
"Shatta is a prolific artist. He probably has music out at a rate that towers over any of his peers. I suspect that he is Ghana’s most consistent at releasing music – at least in remembered history (here, I’m not specifically referring to hits; just the sheer rate and volume of his output. Not even maestros like Kojo Antwi and Daddy Lumba come close)."
Mr Hansen further stated that the Shatta Movement leader's approach to music is to throw in more music in order to find out which one became a hit.
He further stated that it was not a big deal if none of his recent albums became hits; rather, Shatta Wale boasts an avid fanbase and striking personality that would keep him in mainstream conversations in the media.
"His approach has always been to throw as much music at the wall as possible to see what sticks. It’s not really a big deal if his recent albums don’t have the biggest first week sales in Ghana. He boasts an avid fan base and a public personality that will keep him in mainstream conversations."
