Obour

The album, released a couple of weeks ago in Accra, has boosted the image of the artiste in the showbiz industry in the country.

Music lovers in Accra who witnessed Obour, live during the launch of the album, have come to realise that the artiste is a force to reckon with, when it comes to good hiplife music with traditional touch.

Known for his powerful and beautiful voice, which he uses to educate people about the ills in society, Obour has indeed, made a mark on the Ghanaian music scene. The rap in all his songs on the album like Shine Your Eye, Kontikotibaa, Menwu Biom, Eyem Ya and others, are done in a normal hiplife style, rendered in dance-hall style, livened up the songs on the album so much.

The beat in all songs flow, plus the sound of the bass guitar together with the foot-drums in the background, tell one that Obour will soon become the godfather of hiplife. A visit by P&P to certain music shops in the metropolis of Accra where shop owners proudly declared that as soon as the song was aired on certain radio stations in Accra, so many people are rushing in their numbers to grab copies of the cassette.

The lyrics in all the songs reveal Obour?s determination to rule music chart, while the songs on the album carry specific social messages aimed at educating people. A section of music lovers who spoke to P&P declared that all the songs on Obour?s latest album have been equipped with what music lovers expect from a hiplife musician, adding that, they are satisfied with all the songs on the album.

It is interesting, the way Obour has arranged his work; it has all the qualities to meet international standards, and one striking feature of the album is the near-perfect sound quality, as well as the moving instrumentation programmed to meet the demands of music lovers. Today, Obour needs no introduction at all; he has created a very good image for himself in Ghana and beyond, through his good stage-craft, good presentations and lyrics, which also boast of beautiful horn renditions, inspiring lyric and sensual voice on vocals.

With his wild Afro hair-do and stage showmanship, Obour is well known as one of the outstanding Ghanaian musicians who has made an impressive impact on the music scene. He is one of the few hiplife artistes in Ghana whose music and style of performance have been welcome by all, including the aged.

He possesses a silky-smooth voice that can be compared with any other although he confessed to P&P during an interview, that he was really surprised everywhere he went, people called and expressed appreciation for his music. One thing about Obour is that he knows how to win the attention of the listeners, even his critics and antagonists, as well those who always seek his failure and down fall.

Obour is one of the few musicians? music lovers would always like to see on stage performing, due to his creative style and stage-craft. Obour has achieved so much within a short period due to his determination and hard work and we all appreciate that.
