What\u2019s more refreshing now is, it\u2019s a school album, you can hear the polished Samini now,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cHe\u2019s now migrated from the young Samini running around boy to a very level-headed man. These are some of the things that we want to see and want to encourage our young ones to evolve because time and music evolve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nana Poku also advised upcoming artistes to develop and strengthen their niche in the industry. \u201cYou cannot be a superstar forever. You need to add something to let your brand get some value. Now, when he goes into an office and talks business, they will not look at him like Samini the musician,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey know the brand value he\u2019s added onto himself. Yesterday\u2019s price will never be tomorrow\u2019s price, it will go up. Look at the kind of music he\u2019s doing. He\u2019s setting himself in a different direction now,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He further encouraged Samini\u2019s team to help him explore new creative directions. \u201cI will urge the team to look beyond. They are there now and they can easily break and go on tour for years, and we won\u2019t even see him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Comparing music to childbirth, Nana Poku noted that creativity takes time. \u201cMusic is like a baby yet to be birthed; you might give it eight months but it could come at seven months. You might give it seven months and it could come out the twelfth month, so until the mother feels the push, the music or the baby is not ready. Samini, big ups to you, let us see a different version,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <div class=\"booster-block booster-reactions-block\">\n            <div
