People these days accept gosple music by its WORDS AND FORGET THE SPIRITUAL ASPECT OF IT.Gosple music has lost its SPIRITUALITY because the focus now is making money,and so all the secular rhythms has been attached to draw attention. If gosple music and secular music play the same tunes where is the difference?
Now-a-days, you watch gospel music videos with lots of ladies not properly dressed singing "Jesus is real"
Do we still want to genuinely pass the message, or sing so that circular record labels can sign us on? Come on! I still feel strongly that if we don't watch it, gospel musicians will never be heard. Gospel artists should watch how they dress (I'm sure we know that we'll be addressed by the way we dress).
I know that most marketers and record labels, even video directors want the best for the general public/pockets too, but there should be a great difference between a circular artist and a gospel artist. NEVER allow your producer to misinterprete your song by adding a popular circular beat beacause it's in vogue. NEVER allow your video director to misinterprete your song by making your video nothing different from a circular music videos because " let's make it marketable". Even if record labells don't sign you on because its not hip-hop, you don't wear dark glasses like them, you cant sing like Rihana or whoever, as long as you've given it your BEST, and its who you are, God will make a way for you.
Don't forget, his grace is surficient, annointing makes the difference, and it is not of him that willeth nor of him that runneth it is of God that showeth mercy.
Remain blessed!!
Don't forget, its not all about the message, Let's not allow THE IN THING to take us away from our calling. I watched a gospel music video from a nigerian gospel artist (music title-if God is dead), the back up singers were dressed in short tube gowns. I just lowered the volume of the song. Because i bought the VCD myself, and i know who sang the song, i wouldn't have known that the song i was watching was a gospel song. No wonder why people buy gospel music cds and don't feel anything reminding them about Heaven. God help us!!
