Veteran highlife musician, Rex Omar talks about music. According to him, there is nothing like a profane song. Moreover,\u00a0songs with sexual lyrics serve as a form of sex education.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no political but sensible song or social but sensible song so lifestyle song is a lifestyle song”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
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.<\/p>\n
\u201cMusic 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\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Rex Omar also disclosed that any attempt to check and control the lyrics of songs in the name of curbing profanity will kill creativity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
