Its really not funny though. Our music is soo shallow its amazing. If not for my noisy neighbor I wont know most Nigerian songs. I got to know what Kukere was weeks after every goat and cow was singing it. I was always wondering what they were saying until my neighbor decided to put the song on repeat one saturday morning! They are all mostly useless! But then again, the people love it. Anyways, there are still some guys I love downloading SOME of their songs. Brymo (Goodmorning and We all need something), Dare (Love the way you are and Not the girl) and Djinee (Ego and I no dey shame for you)...etc. 1 Like |

i have never liked Nigerian music, some are ok e.g. MI's last album. but generally Nigerian music are usually the same(imagine Terry G using the same beat for different songs ). My friends call me a 'white man' : - because its only foreign music CDs you will find in my car. but can you really blame me? |

the producer must finish the beat in less than 30 minutes, else he's wasting too much studio time...and of cos, apply excess auto tune to the voices...smh |
Re: 10 Ways To Create A Nigerian Hit Song by Suntemi(m): 5:37pm On Aug 13, 2012 |

@OP U can't force a song to become a hit.A hit will have intercourse with ur eardrums at the first encounter and even if the first experience isn't it,it will grow on you.It always happens,haterqs can say what they like but how else can you respond to the immediate appeal of oleku,those samklef tracks for wizkid like don't dull and pakurumo or my best example dami duro. Keep hating on davido but in ten years y'all going to get nostalgic when you hear that song which is a bonafide hit.the first time I heard the song,it just kept playing in my head and one day in traffic,I started flipping radio channels to see if the song would get played and sure enough I stumbled on a program hosted by illrhmz called radio out loud and davido was the guest.I heard dami duro again and it didn't matter if I was in a horrible traffic,the song had a sedating calming effect on me.u can try all the gimmicks and still not get a hit.rooting for that orezi song where he was saying gibberish,think it is fantastic and should be more popular. |

Interestingly the music that shows the best of vocalist and the use of dexterity are the slow music, but in Nigeria our brains are awkward, it is just abt dance or "you are not good" Still wondering how Asa managed to pull it off? Still wondering really... |

I appreciate the comments I'm seeing here. It's just a sad truth which hurts most of us who really want to do good music. However,I'd love to appeal to you guys not to give up totally on every Nigerian artiste. Some of us are working really hard to change this,even though we're not yet there. Pls listen to the song below and I'm sure you'd understand what I mean. Download "my life" for free @ http://chronxmedia.com/rio-bills-my-life-chronique-records-exclusive. . If you like what you hear,kindly share with your friends. |
Re: 10 Ways To Create A Nigerian Hit Song by FOREXMART(m): 3:38pm On Aug 23, 2012 |
