Why Godwin Is A Boring Song by suwailad(f): 11:11am On Mar 18, 2015 |
there was just this too much hash tag #godwin everywhere so i tried to figure out what was it i heard the song and i must say as a song writer and composer myself the song is flat boring. It is the same old monotonous rhythm, and from start to end all was digital and too stereolike. The melody is too over pronounced with no identation at a certain point, no meaningful bridge, different notes? well music can be anything to anyone but in my opinion the song is a fail in terms of professional music production 8 Likes |

@ OP, how would this criticism affect your music career positively, where were you when Kcee sang Limpopo or other gibberish? The song is purely praise and if u know you can do better kindly apply for Nigerian Idol season next season. |

I hardly buy or download naija songs anymore (never bought a P square or even tuface album) the female artists aren't even helping matters Tiwa Savage inclusive, not that she's a bad singer/lyricist but why the over reliance on auto tune ? I've bought all D'banj albums sha and I once enjoyed Ruggedman. The truth is that our musicians ALL sound alike now so there's really no need to stress yourself getting their albums or songs for your personal collection. Till tomorrow, the only person I take serious is Eldee the Don of the Trybesmen fame |

You should Know by now that most Nigerian songs are just stûpïd! They hardly make sense and people just like beat. No lyric, no nothing....piece of garbage. Fortunately for them and unfortunately for us, they are swimming in money for singing garbage 2 Likes |

Dunno what y'all are bytchin' about here. Different songs for different folks. That you don't like a song or think it's stewpid doesn't mean your opinion is superior or it means squat Songs like Bandz a make her dance, Turn Down For What and Anaconda seem stewpid to millions (and they truly are), but they appeal to a target audience. If everyone did 'meaningful' songs we'd all get bored eventually. I thought Oliver Twist was dumb, but look where it took D'banj. Learn to appreciate music, no music is bad, they all have their purposes and you (@OP) being a song writer ain't shiit. I write songs too, but I don't start up threads to criticise someone's hard work especially when nothing of mine is in the market PS: Godwin is a feel good song just like Pharrel's Happy....but since it's Nigerian, you feel the need to trash it. If Happy was a Naija song, y'all would trash it too 1 Like |

Respect your view. Im an ardent music listener from pangolo music to country to pentatonix. To b sincere im still trying to understand dat song- Godwin. I think it was jus a crowd mentality song. Pls understand i commented because u sound lyk sm1 who listens to music. I think Korede is d best act after don jazzy in mavin who does songs dat i lyk but this song was jus dere. Not jus because it wasnt a party track but it was jus plain. Nd about happy be careful oo dat song changed his career. Google his networth after and before happy. Happy wasnt much of a party track but everyone could relatea theme to it. The theme was -joy. As much as the theme of Godwin is -victory i'd say d tune is not in coherence at all with it d song. wat annoyed me d most about d song was dat i was listening to d song one day and one guy was explaining d lyrics to me. I mean a toddler can even decipher dat no effort was put into that song considering the standard mavin is on at the moment.dat song jus changes my mood everytym i hear it.and about oliver twist. I hate dbanj because he was just a victim of circumstance in d whole mohits saga but oliver twist was d last best song d banj had done i must confess.i prefer k switch jus that he is easily influenced and overshadowed. He should go back to garage style. Bands a make her dance and tuen down for what are not even songs. I can only hear them when im tipsy but bcuz i cant rememba d lyrics after hearing them. my 2 cents tho safarigirl: |

suwailad:There's nothing wrong with digital music as long as the underlying chord progression is logical. You need to enter the world of sound synthesis/design to really understand how creative one has to be to make good digital music. The song has a kind of highlife feel, hence the repetition. I agree that the melody could have been stronger had he employed binary response or call and response to give some phrase coherence. What were you expecting for the rythm part asides some simple polyrythm and syncopation here and there? We're talking about West African music here. About the bridge, who says every song must have a bridge? There are tonnes of ways to arrange a song...one should only use an arrangement that works for one's idea. Many people know their music, but you'll find out that adhering to rules all the time can make you sound boring. Nigerians are already used to this kind of rythm-driven music...it will take a while before they can appreciate higher quality music. I don't understand what you meant by too stereo-like though. Do some instruments sound isolated? I would need to listen on headphones to check that. What if I needed you to write a song for me? |
Re: Why Godwin Is A Boring Song by safarigirl(f): 8:58am On Mar 24, 2015 |
jemype:if you could understand that the theme of Godwin was victory, then that's all you really need to know about the song. Doesn't require anymore explanations and analysis. It wasn't targeted at people with an in-depth knowledge of music, it was targeted at those who only know afro pop and such and it reached them, they get it. I prefer Cold Outside due to it's dexterity and the ability to mix up different dance styles with it, but that takes nothing away from Godwin The key word there is 'target audience'....and I repeat, Happy and Godwin are on the same page as far as outreach and messages go...just that Happy has more of an exposure due to Pharrel's country and his background. If Happy was a naija song, it would've been dunked for being too 'copy copy' and all that shiit they nuked Ejeajo for, so Godwin was done with an African flavour It may not be worthy of a Grammy, but it deserves an award of some sort and will most likely get lots |
Re: Why Godwin Is A Boring Song by jemype(m): 9:14am On Mar 24, 2015 |
Well u r right there "target audience" and "award". I guess the song is ok. Maybe the problem of d song was Anticipation. People expect a lot from don jazzy. No matter how i hate the song i cant dispute the fact that it was well recieved by nigerians and is a feel good song. I guess its jus one of dosee nigerian songs people lyk me are jus forced to lyk by listening to it everywhere. Nigeria has to b one of d most unpredictable industry and i think don jazzy has to b d only producer that has really understood it if u check consistency of hits compared to other producers. Tho he may not have many legacy songs but he definitely knows how to stay abreast in the industry. safarigirl: |

RickRichards: ok what about steeping the game to the high quality kind of music but still retain it's afrobeat rhythm? it does not mean because it's naija song it must be noise, it can actually be a good written song on chords and notes not on some gathered patterns and then they say it's music. |
Re: Why Godwin Is A Boring Song by suwailad(f): 8:09pm On Mar 24, 2015 |
safarigirl: the song was too bland and boring. i would have preferred he stayed away from high notes in the chorus |
Re: Why Godwin Is A Boring Song by safarigirl(f): 8:27pm On Mar 24, 2015 |
suwailad:that's your opinion. Lucky for Korede, majority don't share your opinion |
Re: Why Godwin Is A Boring Song by Nobody: 9:04pm On Mar 24, 2015 |
suwailad:Plausible. That's where knowledge comes in. I'm a big fan of not only logical chord progressions, but also logical arrangements. Nigerians will have to demand higher quality music for that to happen though, or probably if a gifted artist emerges and blows the competition out of water, high quality music will then hopefully become the norm. But for now, many Nigerians still like the 'noise'. |
