Nigerian alternative music star, Simi Ogunleye, has deemed
the audience ‘unrealistic’ expectations from the artist as one of the
main issues plaguing the music industry.
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported that in a series of Twitter
posts @simplysimi, she noted that Nigerian musicians are forced to cater
to the same audience and switch their sounds to feed them.
According to the ‘Soldier’ singer, artists are forced to be versatile
even when they have their own original sounds, as musical legends are
usually monotonous in their sounds.
“I think one of the most trying things Naija artistes deal with is that we are mostly catering to the same audience.
“We don’t want to have to, but the structure of the industry makes it
inevitable. We expect the same people to like Rap, street music, soul,
pop, indie. It’s strange.
“Strange for the audience because they keep messing around with your preference. You expect everyone to please you.
“Zlatan and Johnny Drille. Strange for the artist cos they keep
messing around with your creativity. You expect everybody to like your
music. A waste of time.
“So when I see someone tell an artist “you’re monotonous’’, it amuses me. Most of the legends are monotonous.
“Unless they don’t have a sound. Imagine Fela doing hip-hop today and
RnB tomorrow or Whitney Houston – Soul today, akpala tomorrow,’’ she
said.
Simi, who is married to fellow alternative singer, Adekunle Gold recently released a new album, ‘Omo Charlie Champagne’.
The album swiftly follows her acclaimed 2017 eponymous album
‘Simisola’ which went on to win ‘Album of the Year’ at the Headies and
contained a bunch of fantastic singles, including ‘Joromi’ and ‘Lovin.”
