Kuami Eugene is a Ghanaian singer and songwriter
Ghanaian singer and songwriter, Kuami Eugene, has expressed concern over the frequent clashes of music release dates among artistes in Ghana, describing it as an unnecessary challenge within the industry.
Speaking in an interview with Nana Ama McBrown on Onua TV on December 29, 2025, the musician disclosed that the issue is a recurring topic of discussion among artistes and producers in recording studios.
“It’s one of the problems we’ve been dealing with back there in the studios because I write lyrics for multiple artistes. It’s a conversation we have all the time,” he said.
According to Kuami Eugene, artistes often struggle with deciding when to release songs and who should release theirs first, a situation he believes is uncommon in the international music scene.
“Deciding when to drop some songs and which artistes should drop theirs first. This doesn’t happen abroad. Artistes abroad don’t clash with their release dates,” he stated.
He noted that in Ghana, some gospel musicians deliberately avoid releasing songs at the same time as other gospel artistes, a practice he finds unnecessary.

“Normally, gospel artistes don’t like to release their songs together among themselves,” he shared.
Kuami Eugene argued that there is enough space in the industry for all artistes to thrive.
He stressed that music listeners enjoy varieties and are capable of consuming multiple songs at once.
“We can have room for everyone and people like to listen to different songs. A lot of songs can be saved on phones, so, I don’t understand why we feel people won’t listen when artistes release songs at the same time,” he explained.
He added that listeners do not stick to only one song and will always explore other music, which should make simultaneous releases less of a problem.
“People won’t listen to one particular song all the time; they will definitely change, so, it shouldn’t be a problem when songs are released at the same time,” he said.
