Fuji musician Remi Aluko has stated that Wizkid revolutionized the Nigerian music industry by improving the music economy and increasing replay value.
He mentioned that prior to Wizkid’s arrival, Nigerian songs were typically long, but Wizkid changed that by releasing shorter songs.
Aluko also noted that other artists started to emulate Wizkid’s recording style after seeing how it increased the replay value of his songs.
Speaking in a podcast interview with Echo Room, Aluko said, “Wizkid did something in the Nigerian music industry. And I picked up from there. Back then, a song used to last for five or four minutes. But go and check now, Wizkid is the one that changed the method of music that you don’t need to waste music.
“He changed the method of recording in Nigeria. He will bring chorus and after that he will just give you like 16 bars and after that he will go back to the chorus. If you love the music, you play it again.”
