This is a question i have been longing to ask. Because some
people find it difficult to rate an artist without being sentimental. To write
a single aren’t easy, to write a full album aren’t easy also, but when it comes
to rating an artist base on “Single” or “Album”. There is no doubt that writing
an album really show how good, talented, unique an artists can be. While
writing a single can’t really show how promising or good an artist can be or
last in the industry.
No doubt about it, when you write a single and you find it
in any top10 list, don’t get too excited or start beating your chest claiming
the best. Most people don’t believe a hit single show how good you are. But
what makes an artist good and respected is the content in his or her album. An
Album show how versatile and unique you are, it prove to people your pattern of
song and crew you work with.
Dropping a single doesn’t mean you can’t sing, rap or not
talented. But it put your fans and your rival on their toes with what to expect
next. But most artists fails to catch up with this idea, so they neglect
writing an album which really show they aren’t good but just fortunate to win
their fans heart with just one singles. While some artist who drop an album
after some single, most times fails to their fans expectations. This means they
are not good but just fortunate.
Everybody can’t like your single, but everybody can like
your album. Because it consists of different tracks and different artist you
featured or collaborate with to make up the album. Your album put your music
career to the spotlight because different people will love different tracks in
your album. So try and focus your energy in writing a good and well inspired
album.
Featuring an artist in your single can be a good step in
promoting your name and song among the fan base of the featured artists. But
having about five (5) to ten (10) different artist on your album will help you
win more fan base due to the fact that you are working with their favorite
artist. The progress of an artist starts when creating a good and trusted fan
base which will help in promoting your song, voting or nominating of awards,
population in shows and events, growth in record sales and many more.
Starting your music career with some few singles can boost
your brand and name quickly but don’t dwell on it too long. Great artist focus
on album because it really shows who they are, how they think and what they
foreseen. Try and build your career with the mind of working on your album and
your fan base.
