Best and worst 'evolvers' in music?


Chic

Who, out of all musicians and singers, have been the best at evolving their music in great ways at the right time? Who has remained stagnant and done nothing with their sound? And who has tried to evolve but just...failed terribly?

Off the top of my head I think the greatest evolvers include Gaga, Kylie, Cher and MJ. Also Taylor even though I'm not a big fan of hers. 

The worst, sadly, probably includes Britney (and I really wish she would shake it up a bit and show everyone what she's got), though she did show evolution in the first half of her career. I'd like to hear a different sound from Ari too, I find her music a little too samey. Katy is probably the biggest example of a change in style not going to plan, and it wasn't even that big of a change.

Britney has been in a conservatorship for the past 12 years, she can’t even drive on her own, what would make you think she has any say in her career?

I wasn't trying to diss her, I'm a big fan, I know she has limited control. All I'm trying to say is that she has way more potential than the quality of her last few albums.

Best:

gaga-always changes her look and sound, shows variety

rihanna-constantly reinventing her look and image as well as her sound, which is distinct in every album

miley-i mean, come on. in one decade we got dance pop, hip hop, psychedelic rock, country, and trap pop

taylor-makes the right career choices at the right time. the 1989 switch to pop was perfect, and then she switched to alternative when pop became boring. she knows how to keep people interested.

Yes she has though? How can you not hear any difference between Born To Die to NFR? She has definitely evolved, and based on how she keeps on getting more acclaim with each album, she’s done it very well. NFR was at the top of almost every other decade end list.

Exactly, every lana album has had a very distinct vibe so far.
