bujibu 462 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 1 hour ago, Debithius said: Pop stars – and their massive teams – are masters of seamless reinvention. Over the course of a single career, a pop artist takes on numerous personas, each being a reflection of the elements most relevant in culture. Today, young people are less interested in engaging with an artistic chameleon and more interested in personalties that feel real and authentic. The evidence of this can be found in the response to Katy Perry’s recent musical efforts. Perry, who is one of the best-selling artists of all time and the third best-selling singles artist in the United States, has rarely run afoul of her fans. However, the road to her forthcoming album, Witness, has been full of uncharacteristic missteps and an “urban-leaning” direction that is at odds with the image she crafted around 2013’s Prism. Perry’s lead single, the Skip Marley featured “Chained to the Rhythm,” debuted at number four on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart before backsliding to number eight the following week, and then dropping out of the top 10 all together. Despite that, it is still the highest debuting single by a female artist since Adele released the powerhouse that was “Hello.” The lukewarm reception is also a bit surprising considering Perry described the attempt at a politically-informed dance track as “purposeful pop,” an angle that artists like Beyonce, Solange and Lady Gaga have proven can be quite successful when well-executed. “Bon Appétit,” the follow up to “Chained to the Rhythm,” failed to hit the mark as well. These atypically skeptical reactions indicate that in our current climate, if a pop artist wants to be perceived as a creator of more than catchy but meaningless music, it is essential that the performer and real personality genuinely align, and that they both consistently stand for (or against) the same things.

Just look at the popular songs right now like Bad & Boujee and other rap songs. Those songs are popular with the general public right now because it's trendy to like hip hop culture right now and pop girls are taking a back seat for the most part. You're not wrong, it's just the pairing with KP makes no sense and the GP kind of has this reaction like "Why?" Bone Apple Tit would sound perfectly fine without Migos. Personally the collab is what kind of tanks it. Now Liam Payne is collabing with Quavo? It's making everyone seem so desperate in the music industry.

Slayer 9,227 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Have to say I agree with the article. Even since the release of Katy's last album, there has been a huge shift in the pop music climate. A lot of pop artists have had to adapt. Most have become more 'authentic', but I think Katy has struggled with her reinvention because she simply doesn't have the talent. She belongs to an era of very superficial, electronic dance pop and she just hasn't got what it takes to transition into something more relatable... so she just cuts off her hair and adds a bunch of on-trend rappers to some on-trend urban-sounding songs. It's really no wonder she is experiencing so much backlash. The sad thing is I think she could have had a successful reinvention if she had continued with the direction of CTTR. Unfortunately she just had to go back to trashy and kitsch and "sex sells", because evidently CTTR under-performed by her standards. But clearly everybody's over her old shtick as well. So she's got nowhere left to go. I just don't think she will last. I love judas SO MUCH but I canʹt look like a copycat of JLO!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SychosSoChic 9,995 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 This is what I said months ago. Katy can serve mature political pop. I don't doubt that she'd be good at it.CTTR was good! But she has to be consistent, or she'll get dragged for not committing. But here we are, 3 singles in with nothing sticking, only one truly political song, and all that has happened is that people take her less seriously now than they did before. Life ain't Hollywood for any one of us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I truly don't think it's about quality anymore; just numbers being pushed by labels. Although it's nice to see people like Harry Styles, Gaga and Miley put out new music they want to put out and having it do well on its own (I think Malibu is perfect dreamy pop for an oversaturated pop market and Million Reasons slayed as a ballad on the charts, which isn't too common as of late).
