I must agree with what you mentio...Thanks Laurence,<br />I must agree with what you mentioned about Rap music. It’s back again. Siva had that special and natural comic-like nuances and humorous lyrics by his kawan Farid Long; it made the song a big hit. It’s an old 2012 blog posting but brought hundreds of Siva’s fans back to talk about him again.<br /><br />About Wayne’s composition. Lots of potential with his song. When I heard it, I thought it could be a hit if properly promoted.<br />Kamsiah.ANDY: Pop Music Not Pills. ©https://www.blogger.com/profile/10946638825812052608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-4775622609567960992021-05-23T11:01:37.314+08:002021-05-23T11:01:37.314+08:00Andy, surprisingly Rap music had been around for m...Andy, surprisingly Rap music had been around for more than 50 years as evidenced by Sivas composition , but eventually It went into oblivion , until it was revived and popularised by some Black Americans about 20 years back . In my opinion,Rap music is the ‘in thing’ today , at least to the teenagers n young adults. <br /><br />Our budding composers can take a cue from Siva Choy. Spore music lovers are more inclined to listen to songs with a’ catchy beat ‘ rather than a ‘draggy’ tempo like the fox trot or Waltz. In any case, as i have mentioned in my earlier post, for local composers work to be recoqnised, support from our Ministry for arts and culture, community participation n commercial sponsorship are paramount.<br /><br />A special mention should be given to Waynes composition of ‘Cats like us ‘ I was not particularly trying to understand the lyrics but am very impressed by the music arrangement ,in particular the electrifying guitar solo.LAURENCE LIMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-19567568650165981552021-05-23T10:03:00.322+08:002021-05-23T10:03:00.322+08:00Jayadas Kandiah
