‘Profane Songs’ Are For Sex Education’ – Rex Omar

Veteran highlife musician, Rex Omar talks about music. According to him, there is nothing like a profane song. Moreover, songs with sexual lyrics serve as a form of sex education.

He spoke about this on Daybreak Hitz with Andy Dosty. He further disclosed that it is the music lovers who read meanings into the songs.

“There is no political but sensible song or social but sensible song so lifestyle song is a lifestyle song”

Also, Omar stated that musicians should be creative and write such songs and also the supposed profane songs are a form of sex education for the youth so he is not against it.

“Music is inspired by life and sex is part of life so if an artiste is inspired by sex which we call profane, then there is nothing wrong with it”

He further made reference that someone will go and listen to Salt-N-Pepa’s hit track “Let’s Talk About Sex” and will not see anything wrong with it but why can’t we sing that song in our local language especially in Twi.

Rex Omar also disclosed that any attempt to check and control the lyrics of songs in the name of curbing profanity will kill creativity.
