Celebrated broadcaster Tommy Annan-Forson, has expressed worry about the type of songs produced in modern times.
In a conversation with Kwesi Kyei Darkwah on CTV, Tommy said because most songs released in recent times lack content, he hardly pays attention to them.
"I virtually don't listen to our [modern] music because there's nothing to understand. There's really nothing to understand. It's just blabber music. There's no storyline," he said.
He said anytime he had heard some radio stations play songs with expletives, the excuse given in defence of such act is "bad news sells, bad music sells."
According to him, "you dare not in our age in broadcasting do such a thing."
Tommy Annan-Forson further noted that music tells a story, indicating that when he plays country music, he's telling a story about himself and the listener.
"When I play a particular Country song that makes my heart beat, or skip a beat, I know that the listener will like this. It has a good storyline line - it affects you and I," he said.
Tommy, a doyen of broadcasting, has over 47 years of experience in media and art, and has impacted a lot of media practitioners through his radio training school RABODEF.
