Nigerian singer Oludipe David, popularly known as Spyro, has claimed that music has lost its intrinsic value.
The singer, who is an advocate for conscious music, claimed that the loss of valuable music contributed significantly to the moral decline in society.
Speaking on the Adesope Live show, Spyro said, “In the past, artists were passing meaningful messages regardless of whatever genre they were doing. But now, music is just vibes. We are just vibing.
“Inasmuch as vibes are cool, I feel like music has lost its intrinsic value. Back then, you would get goosebumps listening to music. Vibes are cool. But how can we infuse messages, values into vibes?
“A lot of the decadence that we have in society today can be traced to the fact that music has lost its value. We are now just singing for money. A lot of us are into the business for money, not to make an impact.”
