Chic 20,830 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 She is not the first to do acoustic albums OR theater shows even in the pop realm. Her being the massive pop star she is, the caricature of what a pop star should be, doing something such as making an acoustic album or a theatre show while the public's eye is on here may serve to change what other pop stars are doing at the current time. Rather than full on pop music, they may start to follow in her footsteps. That's pushing boundaries by inciting a movement for others to follow, I would assume.

Stefan 0 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I feel weird because I slightly dislike Katy for how cookie cutter pop she is and I know she wants to do more serious music and be taken as a more serious artist but her "serious" music is just.... no. Her more mature songs on PRISM are an admirable effort but to me it just all falls flat. It feels sincere but still cheesey and sloppy so I'd rather her do cookie cutter pop. Songs like Teenage Dream, Walking On Air, Legendary Lovers, LFN mop the floor with Choose Your Battles, It Takes Two & whatever. I think her issue is that her idea of mature and experimentation is acoustic, down tempo music when she can still do upbeat pop music that has experimental elements.

What do you call Gaga making a Jazz album 6 years into her career? Hell, Ke$ha made an acoustic album within 3 Pushing boundaries my ass.

Perhaps Katy feels her ability to change pop culture is above your two examples. :shrug: Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essence 148 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Perhaps Katy feels her ability to change pop culture is above your two examples. Acoustic albums are nothing new. She would not remotely be pushing boundaries. And Katy isn't a trailblazer in that sense, at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but in the sense that she's not pioneering acoustic albums by pop stars in general, but pioneering it for the latest and future pop scenes. Whether it's true or not that she's a trailblazer, she may see it that way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just happen to disagree with her, but each to their own. :shrug: Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to advocate for Katy but that quote makes it so hard to. She should have specified that she's deviating from a typical pop star acoustic album by doing something new. Heavy metal albums by pop stars aren't exactly common, that would work to pioneer the genre. Something not totally out of the realm though, perhaps industrial pop along the lines of Porcelain Black, or perhaps just metal like a milder In This Moment.

Acoustic albums are actually very common in the pop scene. Almost as much as Christmas albums. By no means would it be pioneering. It would only be pushing boundaries for her herself.

If you're just using for example then YES, of course, that would be innovative for a pop star. Quite the stretch from Katy with an acoustic guitar and a mic.

degenerate 443 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I love a lot of different things, and I like to try things, and I'm inspired by a lot of different things, and I feel like I don't ever want to be just one genre, you know?
