Fuji Musician Remi Aluko Credits Wizkid for Transforming Nigerian Music Industry
Renowned Fuji musician Remi Aluko has hailed Wizkid for revolutionizing the Nigerian music industry, particularly in terms of music economy and replay value.
Aluko attested to Wizkid’s transformative impact on the music landscape, highlighting how the Starboy boss introduced a new approach to song structure that prioritized brevity and enhanced replayability.
In a podcast interview with Echo Room, Aluko reminisced about the era when Nigerian songs were characterized by lengthy durations, typically spanning four to five minutes. However, Wizkid’s innovative recording method challenged this norm by crafting shorter, more concise tracks.
The fuji star emphasized that Wizkid’s strategic use of choruses and succinct verses significantly boosted the replay value of his songs. This departure from traditional song structures prompted other artists to adopt similar techniques, resulting in a paradigm shift within the industry.
“Wizkid did something remarkable in the Nigerian music industry, and I took note of it. He transformed the way music was approached. Previously, songs would stretch out for several minutes, but Wizkid showed that concise, impactful tracks could leave a lasting impression,” Aluko remarked during the interview.
He went on to commend Wizkid for his ability to captivate listeners with infectious hooks and memorable melodies, reinforcing the notion that quality triumphs over quantity in the realm of music production.
Aluko’s acknowledgment of Wizkid’s influence underscores the Starboy’s enduring legacy as a trailblazer who reshaped the Nigerian music landscape and inspired a new generation of artists to push creative boundaries.
