Nigerian Music Videos - Stepping Up The Quality Game

The overseas song movies had been higher than our regionally produced ones. Despite hits such as: Nico Mbanga (Sweet Mother), Osita Osadebe (Osondi Owendi), Oliver de Coque (Boni boni identity), Mandy Brown (Taxi driver), Onyeka Owenu (One Love), Lorine Okotie (His love is that medicine), Charly boy (Before Before) Chris Okotie (ABC), Evy Edna Ogoli( Happy Birthday), Felyx and Mozes( Free), Felix Liberty(Ifeoma), Stella Monye (Nigeria go survive), as considered in one of my articles "The blossoming Of The Nigerian Music Industry", artistes failed to make the preferred affect in the International scene, primarily based amongst different matters on the giant poor video pleasant account visit here naijavibes.

 

The 90's technology used to be no longer dramatically higher than the 80's, likely the mid 90's when the style of tune towed the direction of rap / hip hop and the use of our neighborhood parlance in songs started out to make the track enterprise extra exciting as antagonistic to the 80's. The Remedies (Edris Abdulkareem, Eddie Montana, Tony tetwila) keyed into it and grew to be the rave of the second at that time. Plantation Boyz (Tu face Idibia, Faze, Black Face) had been extremely good and soared to higher heights earlier than the team split. The launching of Tu face Idibia's solo profession with his hit song "African Queen" catapulted him to the top. Most Nigerians preferred his first video, however sadly he had to re-shoot any other in compliance with the route of a famous overseas song TV channel. Style Plus's "Olu Fumi" additionally had a first-rate video in contrast with many that stormed our TV sets. Paul Play's hit track "Angel of my life" additionally had a cool video.

 

Perhaps, the turning factor for the making of excellent pleasant movies stems from the secure of P- Square with the video for their hit music "Do me" which used to be shot in South Africa.

The upward jab of Cally Ikpe's "Nigerian Music Video Awards" (NMVA) and Sound City Music Video Awards (SMVA) aimed at moneymaking artistes with pinnacle notch movies have additionally contributed to the upward shove of excellent fine productions. Besides, artistes who have accurate movies have convenient get right of entry to to revel in airplay on MTV Base, Channel O and different International song channels, opening wider, the doorways which have a tendency to provide them get admission to to reputation and fortune.

 

Good, innovative movies are catchy and draw interest to the artistes and of course, the director. Quality song movies that have made waves in Nigeria and even past encompass however no longer constrained to: P- Square (Do me, Roll it, Ifunnaya), Dare Art Alade (Not the girl, More), Tu face Idibia (If love is a crime), Kel (Too fine), Keffi (kokoroko), Naeto C (Kini massive deal), Bouqui (Take you away), Infinity (Olori oko), Asa (Fire on the mountain), TY Bello (Green land, Ekundayo), Gino (No be God), Djinee (Lade), DJ Jimmy Jatt (Too lots feet Sasha, Blaise, kemistry, Bouqui), Alabai (Voice of God), Mo hit all stars (Pere), Omawunmi (In the music), Nikki Laoye (Never felt this way), Steel (South African girl).

 

Nigerian track movies have clearly helped artistes to clinch worldwide offers / awards and are getting higher daily.
