Good day nairalanders,as a producer and lover of music i just have to ask 'why do the Nigerian audience love party tracks so much? Please don't get me wrong o! I love good party tracks as well but i equally like anyother genre or tempo of music that is of good quality.The recording artises ofcourse will give-in to the wants of the audience and keep recording club-bangers(90% of the artistes who record in our studio want up-tempo dance beats,which we deliver ofcourse) and Naija artistes are hardly interested in recording slow or mid-tempo tracks anymore,many fear that the listeners will say their music is 'boring'..so once again i ask.,why do Nigerians like party tracks so much?

I can't provide you with the answers that you seek. I find it hard to understand as well. I really can't tell why Naija artistes are hardly interested in recording slow or mid-tempo tracks anymore and why Nigerian audience love party tracks so much especially ones with no meaning. I guess artists that do those type of songs are in better position to give you a satisfactory answer...

I'll put it down to the fact that the sensibilities of the Nigerian music scene hasn't developed much. True the Nigerian music industry has come a long way but at the moment its experiencing a period of arrested development. Right now it's attention appears to be completely focused on the upbeat fast tempo type tracks of the party scene. It is as though it were a child that has quickly grown from infancy and now in its teenage years refuses to grow any further. Whether such tracks contain any substance other than the waist winding, Moët popping money centered lyrics that are the hallmarks of today's urban aspirational music is not up for consideration. In fact it eschews any philosophical leanings, anything that gets in the way of the party mood is frowned upon.

This situation is further reinforced by artists that are afraid to explore other forms of music making. Here the trodden path remains safest because of its history of immediate acceptance by the masses. So at the end of the day the creative yearnings and emotions that require the non party type tempo to be expressed remain unexplored, it's potential unknown and it's powers for mental growth untapped. . .

@UcheLives: I would love to help but I reside in Port Harcourt, I don't live in Lagos and don't know those Producers you mentioned. Still ask around, am sure you will get answers, Success with your Music...
