What Is Happening To Gospel Music In Nigeria? by braine(m): 11:54pm On Oct 03, 2013
I was just going through my songs playlists and I realised there's not a single recent gospel music in them• Where are the likes of BOUQUI et al? Has gospel music been replaced with the crap songs about money and women that's all over the internet these days?

Most marketers prefer to invest on worldly music as it has more consumers than Gospel musics. We like Bouqui, Tope Alabi, Panam percy paul but majority prefers to download/transfer their songs free on mobile devices or watch on tv channels, rather than buy their cds or buy on itunes. So most of them are running it at a loss. The society does n't give them a chance. Pathetic.

So does that mean there's no longer a market for gospel artists? I wonder what happened to the zeal to praise God•

Well, gospel music is not always just to praise God but it can be used to edify and to exhort and especially and importantly too, to encourage. Then there is the consumption too. Would you actually listen to an album by Tope Alabi, say, Tire ni(It's yours) or you would listen to R Kelly@s I believe I can fly or any other song, not gospel to "encourage" yourself? Simply, how often do you consume gospel music? Truth is we need more of such music that points to Christ as the source of all good and perfect gifts in our life. My thoughts though.

It seems to be the case too that gospel writer do not put one-third of their heart in their lyrics. Those that actually put in their heart and wanted to do gospel for the right reasons got results. Remember Sinach's You make My Life So Beautiful, almost all of Frank Edward's, then there is also Eben's Imarama and some yoruba artistes too like Baba Suwe's daughter: Oluwa mo oun ti y'ose ti aye mi o fi dara.

However, it seems to be the case that most of gospel artistes, 85%, are in it for the money. You get to know the fake ones, they do not last, sort of.
Enjoy!

I guess all those "Lady Evangelists"(.. With big headgears" back-off after their first album due to low sales. So therefore, we just have to make do with the so called gosple songs we now have.
