THE COBRA EFFECT.
Creativity, has no boundaries and once it falls under the music domain, anything at all can happen. Remember Patapaa's one corner.
Somewhere last year, my colleague in the music production business, Flash Da Sikk Beatz, introduced this lady, Obaapa Gladys to me that, she has a very interesting lyrics about the behavioral patterns of human nature and likened it to a Cobra. I listened to it and within some few minutes, we created a rhythm for her.
Though vocally, she wasn't the best, we tried to create a chorus with good harmonies, great instrumentation and a good mix to compliment her vocals. I even advised her to let someone sing the song, she didn't succumb to my proposal.
Fast forward, she released the song early this year on the various music portals and didn't hear from her again only for me to be receiving tags on my Facebook, Tik tok and Whatsapp since last Friday about a trending video about a song i have produced only to realize that, it was the COBRA song. Boi! I think, the song resonated and connected to Alan's resignation and his formation of his Movement for Change and Kennedy Agyepong's unpleasant and unprintable insults on his party so, a lot of social media freaks, used it to troll them 😜.
Indeed, "nipa bi y3 cobra" paa. You will be on a show with someone busily discussing issues, the next available minute, he/she turns into a cobra and bite you. The "cobras" are everywhere in our lives! The church ⛪️, work place, marriage, friendship and businesses. Suro nipa bi nom. Fear human beings.
Good beads don't rattle.
