A music producer, Samuel Oguachuba, better known as Samklef, has said the days of good and evergreen songs are not gone.
The singer stated that in a chat with Punch.
He said that all songs can’t be evergreen.
Sameklef said “Music is a universal language, and I believe that not all songs can be evergreen. Some songs are made to address situations, while some are solely for entertainment purposes. Once in a while, some artistes would ‘catch a vibe’ and make music that would last, even after they are no longer alive.
“However, I do not believe that the days of good music and evergreen songs are gone. Artistes just need to calm down, and not be pressured to churn out trendy songs and make fast money. Some songs don’t even last for more than three months.”
Speaking on the challenges facing music producers in the country, he added “Humans face many challenges, and producers are not left out. Professionally, I would say the quest to be heard and seen is the biggest challenge of producers. Before now, producers were just heard. Now, many producers are crossing over to make their own music, become stars and get more money. Staying relevant is another major challenge for producers.”
