But we shall discuss.I've heard this a lot and find it weird. genuine question: what genres that were album-based are less so now? pop music has almost never been an album-based genre, and under the mainstream surface there are as many album-crafting auteurs in rock/hip-hop/jazz/etc as ever. You make a fair point. But I suppose my thesis really applies mostly to the artists that were so fundamental to the 2000s--the producers (particularly hip-hop producers). I can't prove this objectively, but 15 years ago you had the smartest music minds in the industry (imo) working behind the scenes with artists to produce really cohesive sounding LPs. But now due to streaming, the money is in these one-off hits. So you have these ultra-talented producers making radio songs instead of crafting more comprehensive records. I blame Pharrell Williams. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso ... Copied to Clipboard! |
