Heard all of those songs already and a handful of others, she's one Pop artist I think is pretty talented and don't turn my nose up to if I hear a song of hers, however when you talk about her new stuff...wtf happened?
Can I just say that I don't think that there's no talent in the Pop industry, because there is and I've heard it, I still hear it now and then these days too. I'm just so tired of Pop artist these days playing it safe, putting out albums they know will sell because it markets a sound that's ridiculously popular, but they're albums that are so contrived or mundane, and that's two big issues for me with Pop in general.
You know those bands I listen to Batty that you detest? I listen to them because I hear things from them that I can appreciate, like honest music, or music that has something to say, rather than music that talks at you because people want to hear a song that is upbeat or bubbly, or talks about nothing really meaningful, and you know I've always had a pet peeve with any song from any nameable genre that really has nothing to say, it's just words with no particular meaning with backing music that's just there to well, be there. I haven't been able to move passed that fact in regard to Pop, the music says nothing to me, how many songs do I have to hear that talks about nail polish, hair, women being empowered, so on and so forth before a Pop artist finally comes along and has things to say and doesn't pander to the popular crowd to play it safe?
Give me someone new, not Ke$ha, that you think I could get in to Batty. I don't care if it's bubbly, materialistic sh*t, just hit me with some Pop recs from this current generation, I've heard a lot of the old stuff already.
