Renowned Ghanaian producer, singer, and songwriter Nacee has addressed misunderstandings surrounding his latest track, “Kwen Kwen,” which has sparked debates among fans and critics since its release.
Nacee, known for producing campaign hits for former President John Dramani Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC), found himself under scrutiny after comments he made during a recent interview were misinterpreted.
The controversy arose when he was asked to explain the meaning behind the song’s opening line, which some listeners described as illogical. In response, Nacee described the line as a creative, playful addition designed to make the track memorable. “The line was designed to be playful, to show how creativity can turn something that seems random into something iconic,” he explained.
This statement, however, led some to misinterpret his remarks, with critics alleging that the entire song, crafted in support of Mahama’s presidential campaign, lacked substance. Social media quickly became a battleground as listeners debated the song’s merit and message.
During a follow-up interview on Angel FM with Ike De Unpredictable, Nacee took the opportunity to clarify his statement. “Let me be clear, I never said the entire song had no meaning,” he stressed. “The opening line was a creative choice, but it doesn’t define the entire song. Every song I write, including ‘Kwen Kwen,’ has a purpose, especially as we approach the elections.”
Nacee emphasized that his artistic process often involves weaving playful or unexpected elements into his work to create something fresh and impactful. “The idea behind ‘Kwen Kwen’ was to create something unique and memorable,” he said. “Sometimes, what seems nonsensical to one person can carry a deeper meaning for another. That’s the beauty of music.”
The song, characterized by its infectious rhythm and danceable beat, has been widely praised by supporters of the NDC for its energy and appeal, helping galvanize excitement ahead of the 2024 elections.
Despite the backlash, Nacee remains confident in the song’s purpose and its role in energizing the political landscape. “Music is an expression of creativity,” he added. “The success of ‘Kwen Kwen’ lies in its ability to connect with people, and that’s what truly matters.”
Nacee’s response has since quelled much of the criticism, reminding listeners that artistry typically transcends conventional expectations, especially in a politically charged atmosphere.
