Mirrion Rizzons 12,580 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I understand her point about how releases aren’t ubiquitous anymore and that artists have to rely on social media. BUT what I don’t agree on is that her fans are unaware of her album release. The algorithm is smart and tailored for people - her fans will know the album is coming. The problem is, she probably thinks she has more fans than she actually does 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She'll always have industry connections even as an independent entity. Raye, Tinashe, Jessie J, Alicia Keys are just a few who are independent, however they still have opportunities for festivals, touring, collabs and such.

ThisGuyTony 34,293 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 All her songs sound like they came off the same album tho. No artistic growth the past decade. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tylerjs 6,074 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Well yea I mean nothing she’s released lately is very good, eventually the label is gonna say f*ck it 🇨🇺🇧🇸 “It’s one banana, how much could it cost? $10?” Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanishIntoMe 3,948 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 The algorithm can indeed make or break an album, but SO CAN THE MUSIC. If the music is amazing, it's gonna break through if you're as established as Lizzo. Look at smaller artists like Olivia Dean and Raye who have really broken through in the past years; it's because of the art, not the marketing. Amazing art will finds it's way to people. 3 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatfoxyfeeling 13,380 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Offtt her lead single Don't Make Me Love U was released a month ago and it hasn't cracked a million views on YouTube. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borislshere 53,663 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 The digital world has gotten so ****ed up, the algorithm changes far more rapidly than it used to. It’s constantly trying to figure out what we like while not allowing us time to start to like anything. It’s a fight against the current so I can’t imagine how helpless she feels. Her label lowkey shelving her is nasty work but 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 30,609 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I can't name a single song from her. I know she has at least 1 hit song, but can the algorithm and label really be blamed for people not buying her music? Maybe she just doesn't have a dedicated fanbase who'll buy everything she puts out 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
