MAJEK'S PRODUCER TAKES IT PERSONAL ON TONTO DIKE'S SINGLE, SAYS ITS BETTER FOR HORROR MOVIES
At first I thought Charles Novia had a personal beef with Tonto Dikeh, so I personally made efforts and got the two songs (Get high and itz ova) and listened to them, well, am not a Judge but lets's just say Tonto is a better actress than a singer but the November Records Producer won't even have any of that, as far as he knows, Tonto Dike needs to train more to be able to be a good actress and as for singing, he says she should just forget it; "If Omotola got away with her last two terrible attempts at singing, it was because Omotola is a fantastic actress and her fans could forgive her musical failings after backtracking her body of work in Nollywood. With Tonto, I can't say much either for her acting depth. She's a one-dimensional actress in my opinion, who mistakes notoriety for fame. She needs more training in acting and this I say with all sense of professionalism as a movie Director..." Quite okay, but that was not the part that stunned me, Charles spoke about her song; "She seems to have joined the actors of her like who have the moonlighting itch to delve into singing. While no one can stop such an ambition by those artistes, I do think those who surround such artiste are their worst enemies if they can't tell them the truth about leaving their sometimes doubtful day job. I listened to Miss Dike's two singles and my initial speechlessness morphed to a nagging laughter and then subsided into a befuddled anguish. I'm a music label owner (November Records) and have produced and Executive Produced acts like Majek Fashek, Terry tha Rapman, Zubby Enebeli etc, Ah-ah! Whoever produced her knew she has a bad voice for singing and masked our listening torture with the Autotune effect. But even the Autotune rejected any attempt to make a bad voice worse and Miss Dike came out sounding like she was in mid-stream orgasm instead of singing! Her anguished tremolos would have been better reserved for a horror movie sound effect than an attempt at joining the revered profession of music.." Wow! but if you think he is saying this for personal reasons, the Producer said he managed to voice this out after he had decided to be mute on Tonto Dike's issues; "I have restrained myself for a couple of years from commenting on Tonto Dike's career after my last comments about her role in the soft porn movie she acted in two years back were badly taken by her and she went on twitter to hurl infantile insults on my person with expletives and uncomplimentary remarks." Mr Novia, thanks for your observation but in the actual sense what are singles meant for? I guess to create awareness about a song, artiste or album, and Tonto Dike seems to have achieved this, even if negatively. So let's just say the whole idea isn't wasted.
