Singer, Slimcase has advised Afrobeats artistes to slow down on releasing too many songs and albums, warning that the constant flood of new music is making the genre lose its freshness.
In a post on his X handle, Slimcase urged artistes to take breaks and focus on quality rather than quantity.
“Too many songs, too many albums. Una too dey put una self for pressure for this Niger sha. Take a chill pill and be like Rihanna. Do other things and come back give us a fresh vibe. Your sounds are getting boring cus dem be coming too much in a year. I owe dem a song this year and that’s it,” he wrote.
He added that oversaturation is gradually killing the excitement around Afrobeats.
“It’s only God that is new every morning. Everyday, every second — singles and albums dey kiii Afrobeats gradually. It’s not fun anymore.”
Slimcase’s message reflects growing concerns among fans and industry observers that the non-stop release of music by many Afrobeats artistes may be leading to burnout and a decline in creativity within the genre.
