In this list, we’ll be drawing out the best top 10 debut hits from new generation artistes in Nigeria
Live shows and concerts have always been a mainstay in the local music scene and for many Nigerian musicians, it is their bread and butter.
Most times these live shows are concerts brought to life by guest performers and a DJ playback so as a nation, we’ve become used to being entertained by pumped-up performances as our favourite musicians take the stage, hopping and dancing from one end to the other while yelling the lyrics to elicit a response from the excited crowd, all the while with their records playing from the deck.
In more recent times, these concerts are being upped to live shows complete with live instrumentalisation from a band and the artiste’s records, rearranged and differently rendered to give new life to their music and by so doing, the audience.
For many, live shows are preferred to concerts for the elevated level of curation they have while countless others find fresh energy in the ecstatic heights of DJ-supported concert shows.
It however takes a master artist to nail either of the two and give the people a great show that infuses new life into their music and endears the artiste further to them.
Over time, props have been given to the songs of artists who have made a name for themselves over the past decade and beyond, therefore to appreciate the new generation of musicians owning the scene, in this list, we’ll be drawing out new age musicians with the top 10 debut hits from new generation artistes in Nigeria with the uncanny ability to sing as freely as if they were in their home studio.
