Frank Mensah Pozo Music lovers who thought that the demise of Tommy Wiredu would be the end of the road for his compatriot and brother in music, Frank Mensah aka Frank Mensah Pozo may have been right because according to him since the unfortunate death of his colleague about two years ago, he has not been himself.

He said it was a heavy blow which nearly brought his musical carrier to an abrupt end but after counseling from fans and friends in the music industry, the soft spoken musician said, he had to reflect on a lot of things before deciding to undertake a solo journey in his music career.

As if by divine intervention there is a rush for his latest album ?Fre Me?, a testimony of the good work on the album.

The album has eight songs, four on the either side of the cassette. It includes songs such as ?Somu Yie?, which comes with a ?Burger? highlife rhythm and very though provoking lyrics.

One is convincing that ?Somu Yie? has what it takes to top the local chart when it catches up with music fans.

Side A also has ?Fre Me?, the title of the album and ?Ahoma tsea donko?, featuring Okyeame Quophi of Akyeame fame. In fact, two of the songs on the album were written, composed and arranged by Okyeame Quophi.

The last track on Side A is ?Mpa Tseaa?. This track has been endorsed by many of his colleague artistes in the industry and one needs to listen to it to understand why.

At the launching ceremony of the album held at the studios of Fox FM in Kumasi last two weeks Friday, Frank Mensah Pozo, who still expressed worry at the sudden death of his music fellow was amazed at the manner in which callers and listeners trooped to the offices of Fox FM to get themselves copies of the cassettes and CDs.

The flip side has four songs like ?Wo Na W?akyere Me? and ?Kyere Me?. ?Edikra? is a cool song with a very powerful romantic rhythm and very good lyrics.

Speaking to Showbiz after the launching ceremony, Frank said he dedicated the whole album to his compatriot Tommy Wiredu and reiterated his deepest sorrow at his death.

He started his music career with the Sweet Vibration and Afro Connection Bands before joining the band of ace musician, Nana Tuffour.

Frank said the year 2003 was a very bad year since he became a musician: This, he said was because his producers hijacked an album he had finished working on which he wanted to release and said he had not been able to release it till date.

He said he took his inspiration from what his producers did to him and that urged him on to come out with his current album.

The ceremony, which was without fanfare, had the presence of some DJ?s and musicians in the Ashanti Region including Okyeame Quophi, Kwame Adinkra and Frankie Taylor of Fox FM, Root I and C.O. Sly from Ashh FM and Stacy of TV3.
