President of the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA), Bessa Simons has praised Kofi Kinaata for always making 'sensible songs'.

Speaking at the listening party for Kofi Kinaata's latest EP on May 9, 2024, in Accra, Bessa Simons highlighted the importance of young artistes in the industry creating meaningful songs.

According to him, Kofi Kinaata has consistently delivered such songs.

"Like I always say to the young ones (artists), in your lifetime, you have to write one sensible song. But you (Kofi Kinaata) always give us sensible songs," he said.

Bessa Simons added that he was particularly impressed by the Highlife elements in Kinaata's music.

He noted that the rhythms and instrumentation behind the music are authentic and of high quality.

"What I'm so moved by is the element of Highlife music in the song. One can tell you are coming from a place where you have an authentic kind of rhythm and what you do with the rhythms and the instrumentation is great. Hearing live bass these days is very rare because people don't use it. But for you to use it this way; it's superb," he said.

Kofi Kinaata has released his debut EP titled 'Kofi oo Kofi', a nod to his Friday birth.

Originally set for release on his birthday, April 15, the EP was released on May 10, 2024, and features seven tracks that delve into Kinaata's personal experiences and lessons learned.
