The ‘Trampoline’ rapper insists he’s
not retiring but he’s bored of putting out albums and thinks there are better
ways to let fans hear his music using digital platforms and streaming services.
According to the Sun newspaper, he said: ‘This is a Spotify/iTunes/shuffle
generation.’ ‘I don’t think people really listen to albums completely from
track one to 12.’ ‘People now curate their own playlists so I think it’s clever
to beat them to it and say, ‘Here it is, done for you.’ ‘A third album will
emerge some time but I think another after that is uncertain.’
Tinie Tempah who last released ‘Demonstration‘in
2013, wants to release a series of EPs for fans and claims the rise of
celebrity producers and DJs is killing the careers of singers. He told the
Daily Star newspaper: ‘Producers are the new rock stars but they aren’t the
artists. It’s killing the opportunity for any real solid artists to have
well-rounded careers.’ ‘The charts are so producer-driven these days.
Even though there’s a vocal on the
song, it’s all about the beat and who made it.’ The 26-year-old star, who is
performing at Wireless Festival in London and Birmingham this weekend, thinks
there isn’t many ‘album level artists emerging’ because it’s all about tracks.
He said: ‘For example, Jess Glynne is an amazing new singer and I hope people
don’t ignore her solo stuff just because it’s not with Clean Bandit.’...
