Kinda Wish We Would Stop Doing Covers.

It seems like every Khmer song now a days is a cover to a chinese song, or something else. I wish we would make our own music. I'm sure there are some but the majority of what being released is like covers.

I was just thinking about this earlier. Rock Production tried but didn't garner enough support. Heard they went bankrupt. Sad because I actually liked some of their songs.

Edit to add: Another thing, I hate reading the youtube comments and the Thais, Koreans, Chinese, etc. dissing Khmers for copying their songs.

I think all Asian music/video copy from each other. Viet copy from chinese, chinese copy from korea, and vice verse.

Even during Sin Sisamout. He also copy some of American songs
 
Well is has to do with demographics. I guess all the hundreds of thousands of young Khmer people don't have access to the same stuff here in the states, so these really bad covers are popular to them because they don't know better. That's why they keep doing it, cause it profitable? Just thinking.

Our people need to do something drastic to get their creative juices flowing. C'mon guys, we can really do better! We have the talent, I'm sure. We just need to keep raising the bar for ourselves, keep being competitive in music. Preap Sovat is doing it big man, yall need to try as hard as he does. Lay off the crack helps a lot too.

That's true, but nowadays there are hardly any original songs.

Kinda like what you said last night, we need talented people who are good with words to write nice flowing lyrics. Some of the covers I heard are pretty good, but some of the lyrics sound kinda choppy.

lol, well, we were talking about different kinds of smart. and you mentioned how rappers are so good with lyrics... heh

I listened to Khmer oldies last night and noticed that most of the words used are so simple but the way the lyrics are arranged make the songs sound phenomenal.

maybe i'm a bit bias, but i feel like sin samouth added his own flair while the current generation simply copies and paste.

Typically I don't listen to Khmer music, but I do love me some old Sin Sisamouth. I don't care too much about K-Pop and all that, and I'd love to see some more rock-influenced genre Khmer music.
