Following the drama that unfolded between singer-songwriter Harrysong and his record label, Five Star music, recently, a very concerned fan, who was not happy with the \u201dReggae blues\u201d singer\u2019s actions, wrote an emotional letter to him.<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n

\n
\n

You recall that dispute erupted between Harrysong and Five Star music, which led to their separation and Harrysong setting up a new label-Alterplate, \u00a0which resulted into a series of arrests and finally, a reconciliation, which saw Harrysong back in the Five star music fold.<\/p>\n

Read the letter of the very concerned fan below:<\/p>\n

\u201cDear Harrysong,<\/em><\/p>\n

I have been a big fan since \u201cBetter pikin\u201d, or which one even came first Taiye& Kehinde? good songs right?<\/em>
\nLet\u2019s talk about how African they sounded and the vibe it gives when you listen or dance to the music.<\/em>
\nWhen that song came out, I was like \u201cOk, who\u2019s this guy\u201d and then I realized you already had a single \u201cI\u2019m in love\u201d the one that really got me was the one that had Olamide on it.<\/em><\/p>\n

At this point I accepted deep inside my heart, that this \u201cguy\u201d was not just a singer, but also very talented. I followed your growth and the frequency with which you dropped hit songs ,your Mandela tribute song had the highest download off all time and then you hit us with \u201cReggae Blues\u201d, I mean who doesn\u2019t love that song? That was the jam of the year for me.<\/em><\/p>\n

You were signed under Five star Music, Y\u2019all were cool, You and Kcee were \u201cTwinning\u201d and all.<\/em>
\nWrote most of Kcee\u2019 s songs and even wrote for other Artistes but you made sure to never mention it.<\/em><\/p>\n

I really want to ask you Harry, WHAT WENT WRONG?<\/em>
\nWhat happened to keeping your end of the bargain \u201cin business\u201d as a man?<\/em>
\nI know I would never fully understand what happens (or happened in this case) behind closed doors and in the absence of the cameras and the glamour.<\/em><\/p>\n

But still, breaching a contract just because you felt you were unappreciated? Writing songs often and often with little or no credit? Is that all or there\u2019s something more?<\/em>
\nBelieve me when I say there are people out here who value your music, I was at the peace concert in Delta and boy, You are loved .<\/em><\/p>\n

You do not need to prove so much that you wrote all those songs as it is very obvious that you did.<\/em>
\nYour flair and originality was always in the music and I sometimes wonder why you allow someone else \u201cSpoil\u201d the delivery of such beautiful songs.<\/em><\/p>\n

As far as I know, Five star was a ladder and you shouldn\u2019t have breached any contract regardless of what happened. But then, what happens to brotherhood when the people who claim you\u2019re the best songwriter arrest you because of a breach of contract? How can they put you through such humilitian just because they wanted you to remain a slave to them? Arrest you over and over , Lie to the public about what exactly went down and put you under such stiff conditions just to let the world know they are powerful and can buy their way through anything?<\/em><\/p>\n

Well, what can I say<\/em>
\nIt\u2019s life right?<\/em>
\nI think at this point, you should be out to prove yourself to yourself.<\/em>
\nYou don\u2019t need validation from anybody as fingers will start pointing at your career at this point and people would like to know what you\u2019re doing with or without Five Star.<\/em><\/p>\n

But then again MR. SONGS, WE REALLY WANT TO KNOW \u2026WHAT WENT WRONG????\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/em><\/p>\n

Yours faithfully,<\/em>
\nA very concerned fan!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
