Music videos represent a very important part of the music industry. There are even artists that owe their careers to their music videos. Music videos have become a venue where a musician is given a chance to impress the public not just with their singing but also with their looks or moves. There are people who become an instant fan because of the music videos they see on TV.
Music video aims to deliver the song or give meaning to the song. People can easily relate to the song once they see and know the intention of it. It can help listeners relate to the song and somehow feel that the song was written for them. But some people feel that music videos have disadvantages because now people focus on the looks and ignore the singing talent the singer has to offer. This goes to show that sex sells and they are making a huge profit by portraying it. Musicians become more appreciated if they have good looks and the sex appeal.
Looking on the brighter side though, music videos have already proven how essential it is to an artist success. Music videos are now considered as important as the song itself. There are artists and songs that have become so popular and well known because of their music videos. Mostly listeners get to know the artist through the use of videos and this help boost the album sales of the artist. The creation of DVDs and video tapes has also helped the artist generate more income because their live performances are been recorded and sold as well.
Record companies should make it a priority to create a budget for their artists’ music videos in order to be successful in generating more album sales.
True to that. Music videos leads artist to be reckoned. They also provide platform for them to sell more and make more money for themselves. It essentially leads artists to be successful.

Deleteyes music video do play a role bt some nice songs hve boring music videos which is kind of a ironic cause we expect that when a song is nice then the music video should also be like that
ReplyDeleteYou actually do find contradicting ideas between a music video and the song because the artist does not understand the concept of the music video.
