Korede Bello Blames Declining Music Quality on Young Artists’ Lack of Life Experience
Nigerian singer Korede Bello recently shared his views on the state of the country’s music industry, expressing concern over the declining quality of music being produced by younger artists.
Speaking on Hip TV’s popular program *Trending*, hosted by reality TV star Kim Oprah, the 28-year-old singer attributed this drop in quality to the lack of life experience among younger musicians.
Bello explained that when artists achieve fame at a young age, they often lack the depth of personal experiences needed to create meaningful and impactful music.
He pointed out that many young artists are more focused on living extravagantly rather than drawing from real-life struggles or deeper emotions in their songwriting.
As a result, the themes of their music often reflect this desire for material success, rather than exploring the complexities of life.
“When young artists blow up early in their careers, it tends to affect the quality of their music because they haven’t had enough life experiences to infuse into their art,” Bello stated.
“These young artists are still figuring out how to live; they know they’re alive, but they haven’t fully lived.
So, they naturally sing about what they want—living large, success, and the glamorous side of life.”
He contrasted today’s younger generation with veteran artists like Fela, Timaya, and African China, all of whom he described as having lived through tough and formative experiences.
Their music, he explained, is a reflection of the realities they’ve faced, giving it a level of authenticity and depth that younger artists may not yet be able to achieve.
However, Bello was quick to clarify that this isn’t necessarily the fault of the younger generation.
“We shouldn’t be too hard on them. Artists can only create from what they know. If they haven’t experienced the struggles or seen life’s harsher sides, they can’t sing about it,” he added.
His comments have sparked discussions among fans and industry experts, highlighting the ongoing debate about the balance between youthful creativity and the depth that comes with experience in producing quality music.
