Pure Akan has done it again. With his latest album, Odo Awaamu, released on September 12, 2024, the Ghanaian musician continues to push musical boundaries, weaving together love, desire, conflict, and deep introspection.
Known for his genre-bending work, Akan combines mid-tempo bops, burger highlife, and Ghanaian rhythms, delivering a rich blend of sound that resonates with both traditional and contemporary audiences.
At the album listening event last night, Pure Akan’s performance and live commentary brought the themes of the album to life.
The event at Republic Bar in Osu was moderated by journalist and Professional Member of GRAMMY’s Recording Academy, Kenneth Awotwe Dark
The musician spoke passionately about the delicate intricacies of love, trust, and loyalty, all masterfully embedded in his lyrics.
Pure Akan’s Odo Awaamu strips away the grandiosity often associated with modern love songs, offering a more grounded and intimate take on the theme. He paints love as more than just romantic euphoria.
He told the audience that it’s a journey marked by introspection, the struggles of dedication, and the joys of connection.
Songs like “Auntie Bete” contrast upbeat vibes with the darker introspections of tracks like “Yede Gye Sen” and “Ma Twen Abre.”
The unique collaborations with artists such as Fameye, Marince Omario, and Titi Owusu, along with contributions from Grammy-winning guitarist Joshua Moszi, further enriched the album’s texture.
