Journalist and public relations expert, Kehinde Ajose has shared his thoughts on the recently released album of Nigerian pop star, Davido.
The opinionated showbiz enthusiast noted that some songs on the ‘Timeless’ album are remarkable, but Davido needs to improve on his lyrics.
In his words:”While some songs on Davido ‘s new album are remarkable, I am afraid the lyrics are not timeless. We know his lyrics appeals to a particular demography, but he can do better in the songwriting department. This also applies to Wizkid, Burna Boy and others. Not every time ‘Yansh’ and ‘She tell me say’. The more our music goes global, the more our artistes should strive to make timeless works of art.
Shedding light on the importance of lyricism in music, he’s said :”While melodies, beats, and rhythms undoubtedly play significant roles in crafting memorable tunes, it is the lyrical content that often distinguishes an ordinary song from a timeless masterpiece. As such, the call for artists to improve upon their lyrics echoes louder than ever before.At the heart of every memorable song lies a narrative, a story that connects with listeners on a profound level. It is through lyrics that artists have the power to convey emotions, share experiences, and inspire change”.
