The Nigerian music industry has greatly evolved, and while
some artistes sing songs just to sell albums(no matter the crap they churn out), others sing songs that we can attribute proper meaning and class to – Well, two
foremost Nigerian entertainers, Tuface Idibia and Sound Sultan react to why musicians do songs the way they do;
According to Tubaba, it all depends on what different music lovers value;
“There are two sides to that. One side is that some artistes just know how to package themselves while a few others don’t know. Remember also that the
entertainment industry is broad industry and comes in
different forms. What this person finds amusing may not be interesting to another. Again, some artistes deliberately sing or music to target concerts or the clubs. For these artistes, they have their plans. On the other hand, we have some artistes who just follow the bandwagon. It is also allowed in
entertainment as long as it works for you,”
And according to the ‘Natural something’ hit maker, sound sultan, everything has to do with the musician and the listener;
“It’s about variety and people. There must be variety. Having said that, whether negative or positive, it’s about the artiste and whoever is listening. For me, when it comes to music, I see it as a big tool that
should not be misused. If music is misused it can tell on the generations to come. I want to be able to play music that will be friendly to children even my own kids.
