THE THEOREM OF MUSICAL HITS (THE MUSIC BOOK)
BY KENNEDY TAREOTU
COMING SOON ON THE 7TH OF JAN 2016. Www.marshupafrica.com
the theorem of musical hits by Kennedy Tareotu.

The Theorem of Musical Hits is a book exposing how great musical Hits are created/written. This book exposes the theory great musical Acts uses in making their hit songs, why the songs become hits and why some songs fail.

The Kennedy Tareotu book has been preserved to fit in the modern musical age, talking about the most important musicians of our time. This book still focuses on how an Act increases his or her popularity rating with lifestyle, music videos, controversy and great musical writing. It then teaches every underground musician that is seeking the secret to a great song writing technique or who wants to know how American Acts write and create their musical hits that makes them the Act they are.

This book is releasing its first 51 chapters as a book/article on Marsh Up Africa, as two chapters would be released every week from Jan 7th 2016.

After a one year study of ‘How America Acts write great songs and how their lifestyle is a great impact to their success’, Kennedy Tareotu is now ready to expose the theory every great American Act of our time uses in becoming who he or she is and the theory of their musical hits.

Kennedy Tareotu is focusing on exposing a given lifestyle in creativity that increases the standard and popularity of the Act, while this book is suitable for teaching Acts who has a platform but have failed to take a stand or become sustainable in the industry, it is also suitable for Acts willing to learn the musical theories in writing a great sound and in becoming a music pioneer in the industry.

The book is focused on 50 Acts and a personality, which are…

John Legend, SIA, Nick Jonas, Demi lovato, Rihanna, Chris brown, Sam smith, Adele, Jennifer Lopez, Bruno Mars, Nicki Minaj, Eminem, Mariah Carey, Ciara, Neyo, R Kelly, Akon, Madonna, Usher, Bastille, Fun , Maroon 5, Jason Mraz, Justin Timberlake, Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Nas, Olly Murs, J cole, Taylor Swift, One direction, Daft Punk, Pharell Williams, Jayz, Beyonce, Ed sheeran, The Weekend, Miley Cyrus, Christina Aguilera, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Lady gaga, Lorde, Jason Derulo, Iggy Azalea, BOB, and The Kardashans.

REVIEWER (KENNEDY TAREOTU) CALLS"YEMI ALADE"AN AVERAGE SINGER WITH JUST ONE STYLE OF SINGING https:///ZcvPbDBWKO

www.marshupafrica.com. Marshup Africa has released the first 60 vocal ranges of African Musicians with Kennedy Tareotu retaining his spot as the Act with the widest vocal range in Africa, a range at 9 and the half octaves. The Official Vocal Range took over 6 months to assemble with the MarshUp Team having to listen to an Act over 20 times to state his unique and exact range.

Note: This Chart changes, as MarshUp would keep updating the chart to suit the vocal ranges of an act as an Act increases his range or decreases.

Amongst the Top vocal Ranges are SautiSol, Seether, Tiwa Savage, Dija e.t.c who also reached the unique 3 octave mark.

Faze went above the 4 octave mark, a very rare unique mark, with Kennedy Tareotu being a vocalist and trainer who is looking forward to probably breaking the 'World Widest Vocal range' at 10 octaves, it is understanding why the Acts takes it upon himself to improve and showcase extreme low and high notes, apart from this acts, Acts like Lucky Dube coming up on the 2nd list was found hitting extreme high notes in 5th octave, with Acts like Faze hitting notes in the 6th octaveFew feminine African Acts of old has equal Kennedy Tareotu and Faze high notes on a song record, but such records are no longer found, mostly the names of such acts, but no African Act has been able to hit the C8 of Kennedy Tareotu, and onlyvery few male Acts world wide hits such notes.

It was a very cold harmattan filled morning in my home in Lagos, just around Pleasure, Iyana Ipaja, when the ikeja electricity distribution worker came into my compound to pass the light bill. I went to him being candid and pained, having seen 7,890 naira as the bill. I wasn’t bothered by the money implemented as my bill, I was more eager to know how an incompetent structure in control of the distribution of electricity had failed in giving the area light throughout the month November to an extent it caused a rout, which made them to pass a compensation notice, giving the citizens in the area electricity for only one hour per day and night, in a total of 24 hours in December.

It’s an artful aspersion to the citizens, having the Ikeja Electricity distribution company branch just on the road at AJE street, in the same area and still failed to give nothing less than 1 hour of light per day, and yet pass an over 7000 naira bill for the people to pay.

I was disgruntled, visiting my mum and spending weeks with her just to realize she survives based on electrical basis on fuel, for in November it was a total black out, and in December a one hour in 24 hours of light per day, and yet still pay around 39 usd/ 7890 naira for one hour of light per day.

It is not a fault of the citizens who the government would charge rigorous claims of not paying bills without light, it’s for us to ratify in truth, The NIGERIAN Government has failed her people in so many ways, but after 50 years a nation that cannot supply electricity to her people is incompetent and not worth to be looked upon as a developing nation.

The defaulter of the past is always a look at in this regime of Change, led by President Buhari that doesn’t seem to see anything else done but travel and seek ways to prosecute embezzlers.

It is my open letter to say ‘as a President, you are logically a Father to a family, whose concern is to settle the need of the family, which are shelter, feeding and an assurance of a better future to the siblings of the family, which are the citizens of the nation. The everyday pursuit of thieves is a desertion of priorities, even if it should be glared on as a priority; it cannot stand as number one to a nation with diversities of challenges’

Nigeria as a country has long failed to register a worthy standard of living, with the poor not able to survive on our daily meals lesser than a dollar. It is of total truth, that the cost of living in United state of America is higher than the Cost of living in Nigeria, yet the average is likely to finely survive because of the minimum wage and salaries which is higher than the monthly expenditure on any scale of preference.... continue reading http://www.marshupafrica.com/news/nigeria-acountrywithoutlight

A reviewer by the name(KENNEDY TAREOTU) for Marshup africa/America made a review about Yemi Alade and this is what he thinks (Yemi Alade I can agree she is a vocalist with a cool range, but apart from this she is a total jargon in music composition and song arrangement. The fact she is the most popular female Act this year is due to the fact that no female Act this year could compare to her popularity with Tiwa Savage having a large Sabbatical, but every major female Acts from Omawunmi, to waje, to Asa, Tiwa Savage and even new emerging Act Dija have shown they can still do a professional song and change Genre and still be finely arranged, unlike our famous Yemi Alade that can only sing on one style and sound averagely professional and nearly unarranged in vocal rendering, jamming vocals on each other, with her best sound to be ‘KISSING’.

She hasn’t been able to do any song without an instrumentation like this. She has definitely failed in the aspect of song writing, so we can hear most of her poor arrangement of songs but still feel the vibe, it’s all about that to us, but on stage, no regular drum line, just piano and a slow professional Genre, Yemi Alade would be a flop you might not want to watch.

She is totally yet to show she is a professional vocalist with skills and a professional song writer, at least every Act with a great vocals like Wande Coal, Iyanya, Tiwa Savage, Waje e.t.c has shown that, I believe she is far away from being in the same level in Vocals, professionalism, skill and Genre style with these Acts.

Still fortunate enough to be on top of the year, and even the best in this song . continue reading......... Wax Dey ft Yemi Alade 'Saka Makossa' Song Review http://www.marshupafrica.com/news/waxdeyftyemialade-sakamakossasongreview
