It takes a regular recording session to get there - AKSTREETZ
In a chat with Legit.ng, AKSTREETZ, a Nigerian Entertainment Consultant, Used the Essence hitmaker to highlight the role of consistent creative procedures in making several club bangers at a go.
Furthermore, AK acknowledged the role of a great team and an effective marketing strategy in solidifying the success of a presumed hit song.
"Spending over a decade in the music arts and business. Sound creation is an art that comes with a consistent creative process; thus, the more the talent creates and produces a new sound, the better he gets.
"In the case of WIZKID, with a steady recording session and producer camping that (WIZKID) does, he must have grown to the point where his MUSE tells him when a banger is made. Very few gifted talents can decipher this, and like I said, it takes a regular recording session to get there.
"Like they say, “practice makes perfect, " saying “he is bragging” is like saying that Ronaldo or Messi are bragging about their skills at free kicks or dribbles. More so, when a talent creates a hit sound, there is an atmosphere and aura that come with it.
"Nevertheless, having a great team and marketing strategy seals an assumed hit sound."
