Cwesi Oteng on hit songs and relevance

“The purpose of any artiste is not to make hits for people to sing and dance to and then the next moment, they just forget about it.

Obviously, that should not be the way of any worthy artiste. Till now, there are timeless songs that people appreciate which may not necessarily be hits at the time.

This is what I’m working at and that is why I have been low key for a while so it’s not that I’ve lost out of the game. I want my songs to be appreciated even when I’m not alive.

The likes of Michael Jackson and Obrafour are still enjoying prominence. That is why I choose relevance and purpose over popularity.”
