Emmerson: hitting the political waves

By: Ibrahim Jalloh - (Jallomy)✍️ Meet the Author Emmerson has become a generational singer, politically speaking. He prefers to use music as a medium for pointing at what he perceives to be the ills or shortcomings of a generation in governance. He seems to be taking the place of social critics and political analysts save that he harps on the seamy side of things. The fundamental question is how much has his songs changed over time. If anything, he offers, through songs, a spirit of relief and extreme exuberance to a generation in opposition. He has become a generational musical celebrity. Ironically, he has today ceased to be SLPP party pikin!  Not too long ago those who forgot his Borbor Belle Album classified him as having gone to his roots. Well, I am yet to hear what will be his new classification. As Emmerson mentioned Confusion.com, we are indeed a confused society. The prism is that it is wrong when not in our favour but right when in our favour.
