King Ayisoba’s sensational album

‘I want to see my father’ may be King Ayisoba’s most known song from his Modern Ghanaians album but there are other songs that deserve attention. After listening to King Ayisoba’s album, one will be convinced of the international potential inherent in his style of music.

With songs like “Champion”, “Modern Ghanaians”, “Fame Sika Mame”, “I want to see my father” and “Obia ani begye”, the album will find itself prancing in other circles of the music arena other than Ghana.

Champion is a song with typical Pidgen music sound underlined by King Ayisoba’s Kologo instrument.

The Kologo is the inimitable element in King Ayisoba. All around the globe, no known musician is known with the traditional instrument (Kologo) that gives his songs an indescribable touch. Champion features Batman Samini and carries the message that to be a champion one must work hard. ‘Champion no easy you for make training hard’, King says.

Just imagine him in his Fugu singing modern Ghanaians alongside Kontihene and Kweku T. Modern Ghanaians has a thumbing base line that can excite the dance in anyone. ‘We are modern Ghanaians, my name is Ayisoba from Bolgatanga City’ says King Ayisoba. It’s a song that can pass for an Ayisoba introduction.

Kweku T’s rap version in the song is something else, of course what else is there to expect from the warrior: check check, kelewele where dey the chop bar, this is the present, the future and I call it my own, black Gold Coast West Africa my home.

In fame sika mame King Ayisoba touches on another controversy in society. He says give him back his money and stop the long talk cos you owe him.

The song features the controversial Hiplife artist, Sidney. A good song for you if you’ve lent someone money and are finding it difficult to get it back after a long period of time. Play this song when you get to the person’s house and you’re sure to get your money back.

My friend don’t forget me is a tune that reminds most of us of his stint with the late great Terry Bonchaka. The song was originally written by King Ayisoba and we got to hear a lot if it during his movement with Terry Bonchaka on stage. My friend don’t forget me is a song to reminding us not to forget our good friends, especially those who help us along the way.

The house version on the album kicks with a boogie flavour. ‘My friend, my friend don’t forget me, my dog, my dog don’t come and bite me says’, King in the song.

May be the best thing to do will be to go get the full album and check it out yourself. I want to see my father is a song that needs no introduction; again, King Ayisoba is advising fathers to be responsible and stop spending all their monies on girlfriends. It’s a cry of a son who wants to see his father. The chart-busting song has a lot of meat in its lyrics that only those who have ears to hear can eat. Indeed, King Ayisoba is not the next big thing; he is actually the big thing.
