Mun G has voiced his concerns about the rapid pace of music production in today’s industry, drawing unfavourable comparisons to the well-crafted approach that characterised the music scene in the past.
According to Mun G, the quality of music is being sacrificed in favour of quick releases, a trend he attributes to the rise of internet-based music distribution.
In his critique, Mun G points out that the ease with which music can now be distributed online has fostered a culture of rushed production.
He argues that many artists today spend just a few minutes in the studio, making songs that are immediately released to the public. This rush to release music, Mun G believes, has led to a decline in the depth and longevity of modern music.
This trend isn’t just a local issue, but a global one, where artists are more focused on achieving instant success than on creating music that stands the test of time.
Mun G likened the process of creating music to that of making art, stressing that the time and effort invested in crafting a piece are evident in its quality and lasting impact.
Artists these days take the shortest time in the studio. Studios are so accessible; songwriters think one word is enough. Generally, the music is rushed.
They think that if you decide to sing funny songs, they have to be simple musically. But music is supposed to have that aroma; that’s why they stay for a long time.
