Public Relations Officer of Charterhouse, George Quaye has said that he does not agree to suggestions that musicians should release songs close to the end of the year for the sake of awards.
In an interview, George Quaye advised musicians not to do songs with the primary aim of winning
awards.According to him, awards are just to compliment one's effort.
He said, “I will urge musicians not to do songs because they want to be awarded. If any award scheme recognizes you, it’s a feather in your cap. It’s an extra force movement that’s going to urge you to do better in your career. I really don’t think musicians should time their release because they want to be considered for an award."
George Quaye continued with the comment that the conception of releasing a song close to the end of the year will gain an artiste award is not entirely true. To him, once a song becomes a hit, it stands the chance of winning award(s).
“If you’re going back, looking at some of the artistes that have won even the Most Popular Song of the Year, look at the time Kwaku Gyasi released ‘Nyame Aseda’. It was not even close to the awards. Ayisoba released ‘I Want to See You My Father’ in February…” he said.
However he (George Quaye) did not look down on the possibility of song winning awards due to the time it was released.
“But then again, sometimes, if you release it around that time and the song picks up… ‘Tonga’ was released in October and it won. Maybe people want to release in December because it is a Christmas period and there will be a lot of activities in town,” he noted in conclusion.
