Fad Lan, one of the most promising stars reshaping the Ghanaian music industry, has unveiled the tracklist for his much-anticipated second studio album, I’m A Problem. This announcement comes with an emotional narrative that sheds light on the deeply personal and cultural inspiration behind the album’s title.
The title, I’m A Problem, reflects Fad Lan’s nuanced understanding of how the outside world perceives his tribe, the Dagombas. In a heartfelt note accompanying the album reveal, he recounted his upbringing in Dagbon, where he was taught values of love, respect, truthfulness, and generosity. Yet, in today’s world, these traits seem to have been misinterpreted, leading to his identity being labeled a “problem.”
He wrote:
“Where I’m From, I was raised to love hard, to tell the truth, to respect authority and be genuine, to give and share my little with others, to be confident and prideful in my identity and heritage as Dagbana. But apparently, all these traits I was raised with now have been watered down and have become the menace rather, the Problem. But I accept my tag—if living for the good cause is now accused of being the problem… I’M A PROBLEM.”
Fad Lan’s album promises to be a masterpiece, encapsulating his values, evolution, diverse artistry, and reflections on his life journey. According to the artist, this project is not just music but a testament to his trials, triumphs, and pride in his heritage. The album cover and tracklist, revealed alongside his message, offer a glimpse into what fans can expect—a fusion of deep emotions, raw energy, and a celebration of culture and resilience.
With I’m A Problem, Fad Lan invites listeners to explore his world and embrace the profound narrative of living unapologetically true to oneself, even in the face of misjudgment.
