In a recent chat with Vanguard, Paul Play Dairo, disclosed that Nigerian artistes are no longer creative because they are now after the money. The “Fool in love,” crooner said that people complain that Nigerian music sounds alike. According to him, this is due to lack of other music genres in the music industry.
In his words, “I think there is a great improvement. I think the guys out there now are very lucky, because when we started we didn’t have all the support from corporate bodies. People say Nigerian music sounds the same because everybody is chasing the money, but leaving creativity out.
“Have you checked out any top ten countdowns in Nigeria? The songs are always the same. You can’t find highlife, juju and other genres of music in it. I think the solution is to actually encourage upcoming acts to do other genres of music.”
