Ace Ghanaian producer Wei Ye Oteng is not enthused about how modern songs are not allowed to climb on top of the charts organically but aided with ‘by force’ dance challenges to promote them.
In his view, consumers have ended up killing the fabric of music by using dance challenges to outshine one another instead of the song resonating with them from the basics.
He cited Kelvyn Boy’s Down Flat being knocked off the perch by Kizz Daniel’s Buga song whereas the two songs could have been in the same space where they will be loved by the masses at the same time.
Oteng wrote on Facebook: “We Fast Killing Our Hits? Pushing songs to trends by making all these moves X dance for it to be a hit is killing our songs faster than allowing it organically grow to gradually to become hit.
Cox the moment another person’s moves overtake yours, no matter how great your song is, trust me your off the table. And it’s really worrying.
I was expecting much higher grounds for songs like DOWN FLAT, KTT etc by now to be uncontrollable but derr norrr some BUGA moves tell am sey make e’shift, guys u can’t beat the organic radio and TV promo with tiktok oooh, it’s really great technology is here to stay, but trust me we still need to reach the grounds and stop acting all made it when dancegod and some few others teach some girls move to start trending on our artist behalf, (Boobs X Bombom generation)
It’ s doing more harm than good, cox every now and then musicians are tempted to come with something new when their jams are out of trends, lets wake up be4 creativity becomes a competition. God’s Day.”
