The sound quality of King Paluta’s ‘Aseda’ is poor

Ghanaian sound engineer, Kofi Boachie-Ansah, popularly known as Beatmenace, has criticised the sound quality of King Paluta’s hit song ‘Aseda’.

According to Beatmenace, the sound coming from some Ghanaian producers today cannot compete with music being produced in other African countries, including South Africa, Cape Verde, Nigeria, and even some stuff from Togo and Benin.

Buttressing his point, he used King Paluta’s “Aseda,” as an example.

Speaking on Joy FM’s Showbiz A-Z, where the discussion focused on the quality of music production in Ghana, he acknowledged that the song was catchy, made waves commercially, and had people dancing across the country, but argued that its sound quality was poor.

“I think it’s dropped, it’s fallen. We can do better because even if you compare a lot of what we produce in Ghana to what is coming from South Africa, what is coming from Cape Verde, what’s coming from Nigeria, and even some stuff from Togo and Benin, I don’t think we can compete sonically.

“I agree with what Kwame said about the song, Lomo Lomo. The melodic and lyrical cadence and the production sounds Nigerian. It’s a lovely song, I love that song. But if I did not have the Ghanaian experience, I happen to be anywhere in the world and I am tapped into Afrobeats culture and I hear that song, I will never link that song to Ghana,” he stated

He added, “The sound quality of Aseda is poor. It is what it is. Is it a good song? It’s a very catchy song… It’s a lovely song, it’s very commercial, it was successful. But the sound quality…”
