Korede Bello Criticizes Young Artists for Declining Music Quality

Esther

Nigerian recording artist Korede Bello has sparked a debate by attributing the decline in music quality to young, contemporary artists.


In a recent interview on Hip TV's Trending, hosted by reality star KimOprah, the 29-year-old singer-songwriter expressed his concerns about the current state of the music industry.


Bello, known for his hit song "Godwin," argued that the inexperience of these rising stars is a factor in the perceived drop in music quality. "When you start to have young artists blowing up, the quality of the music starts to reduce because they don’t have quality experiences," he stated.


He elaborated on his point by comparing today's young artists to seasoned musicians like African China, Timaya, and Fela, who have drawn from their rich life experiences to create impactful music. "If you listen to an African China, where he’s coming from, he has seen things. Timaya, Fela—all have experiences.


Their songs are expressions of reality," Bello explained. According to Bello, younger artists often focus on themes of wealth and luxury, which reflect their limited personal experiences. "Young people don’t yet know how to live, they just know that they are living.


They want to live large, so that’s what they’re going to sing about," he said. However, Bello also emphasized that the blame should not solely rest on these young artists. "We should not blame these young artists; you can only give what you have," he concluded.
