A introspective and spiritual album that marked a shift on the sound that the singer had used to by the public and the GP… experimental, ambitious, a personal and artistic growth and also a commercial and critical success which also kind of saved the career of the singer after some polemic stuff (deserved or undeserved) Edited July 27, 2022 by Julia Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tshwark Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 A pop girl who can team with a pioneer producer, modernize her sound, Britney doesn't care, Katy is not versatil enough, bayonce is all over the place with her writing camps. maybe Gaga when she turns 40, I guess she tried with cromatica but it was a dated mess, but she is the closest., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildcat Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Taylor's folklore kinda fits the bill. Released 15 years into her career, universally acclaimed and a decisive turning point sonically / aesthetically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you really comparing album 90s sales to 2010s And after 4 Bey did risk loosing relevance and it was a commercial underperformance which she later doubled. ST was kind of her awakening era but in her own way. She discovered the producer BOOTS, went dark, more experimental and became way more political. Her single choices however paints a less revolutionary picture but the project is still her reinvention. And if she promoted it with the below, it'd clear Its a close example but not sonically/thematically/visually distinct as ROL Edited July 27, 2022 by Otter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homebrand Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Rihanna is realistically the only one with enough cultural significance, public interest and versality/uniqueness to her to have a ROL type era. I just don't see it for the other girls (with exception for the new girls its too early to tell) Beyonce kinda already had her moment with ST though (in her own way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent W Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 (edited) Britney could easily pull it off with the right direction and making a whole new sound she likes. A new spiritual album after all the personal **** she went through would be perfect and she would have a lot of public interest with the right team. But then again I doubt she wants that kind of attention again. Other than her Rihanna can, and Beyonce already did. Taylor had a little with Folklore but I think in her late 30s or early 40s she will go deeper. Edited July 27, 2022 by Trent W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFFFFFF Technically any of them could if they were set up with the right producers and writers. Now if you were to ask who would make their own ROL themselves then pretty much only Gaga . Taylor couldn’t take the risks and lacks the creativity for that. Could you imagine Taylor singing some ethnic, foreign language song seriously?! She doesn’t even have a Spanish song which pretty much 90% of the girls in the industry have. Beyonce came close with ST but still lacked the whole use of live instruments which ROL sports a lot of and is one of the more distinct features of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phaunzie Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 (edited) Here the thing, Ray of Light is an album mainly about being a mother, maturing and finding spirituality. It is also an album about finding meaning in her life. Despite all the shortcomings, Katy could be a candicate for a type of Ray of Light as she seems to be keen on reconnecting to spirituality. Rihanna is the only other candidate as like Katy, she is a recent mother and might want an album dedicated to her recent borned child and who knows becoming a parent may have changed her priorities away from pop sensibilities to a more introspective direction.
