Djinee confronts the pre-album jinx
Unlike the American, Asian and European music industries where musicians release singles commercially, the Nigerian music industry is presently not conducive to the commercial release of just one song.
It encourages the release of just albums.
The only artiste presently who has come close to doing something other than a commercial album release is 2face Idibia.
Banking on his massive fame, he released two pre-albums, discs that contained about five songs that would be on the eventual album.
The two releases, Enter The Place and Chemical Reaction, cannot be said to have been well received.
Though their presence was felt in the market, they did not record the success the albums they preceded did.
One artiste who is now set to tread the path of 2face is Ego singer, Djinee.
His 5-track pre-album is ready to be released and he released two songs off it, Wonder and Alright, during the week.
Will he be able to break the jinx against non-album releases? Time will tell.
