Mydilemma2.0 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Britney / Selena / Ari / Dua / Justin T - Served us with the worst comeback singles. Beyonce lost any direction of music at this point. Nicki's album is forgettable at this point. all eyes are towards Rihanna to save us from this.... mess.. HISS was the only good song coming nowadays. Even in the g listers: Kim Petras **** Pop Miami sounds like a recycled version of Ayesha (dumpster version of H4U). And Im saying it a stan of all of them, Its just sad seeing how bad pop music spiral. I just don't get what happened tbh 1 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska. Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Houdini and Training Season are excellent singles for people with good ears. Beyoncé is trying to do something different, and it's funny seeing people complaining about it when they also complain if an artist is stuck doing the same thing over and over again. And most of the other artists you mentioned have over 10 or 20 years in the industry, so it's normal for them to feel artistically stuck since the passion for their work isn't as strong as it was during their rookie years 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaSpring Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Not true, all covid post years have been excellent for music, Mabye your the issue is with your taste and less with the quality of music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariananext Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Actually Dua's songs are amazing and they're performing better than Future Nostalgia singles would've performed with the same amount of promo. The thing is most of her listeners are gays who can only appreciate one (1) type of pop music. Ariana's usually the type that just produces songs and releases when she feels like she has a decent amount of tracks for an album, she never thinks about concepts and "directions", this seems to be the first time she's putting effort so I wouldn't write her off based on one song - which isn't even bad just not everyone's cup of tea, her fanbase is split into two so it's hard to please everybody.

Big Bad Wolf Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 "Beyonce lacks direction" While having 3 albums prepared for years I can't. The others I see a point. Ariana will be fine though. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Mendes Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 How on earth has Beyonce lost musical direction when she's in the middle of one of the most conceptual and planned out eras of her entire career? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NostalgiawithDua Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 There’s nothing wrong with Houdini and TS, the only thing DL3 is lacking in are visuals, they can make or break your era, so far it’s been boring minimalism concept with low budget mvs…. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotunda Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) It’s 100% fine if you don’t like the direction Bey is going in, but she clearly has a direction. The Act 1/Act 2 album concepts are arguably the clearest direction of any Bey project. Edited February 24 by Rotunda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I guess you are right. Everything sounds recycled at this point. 2 hours ago, John Slayne said: calling Nicki's album 'forgettable' while praising Hiss in the same breath... didn't the song freefall as soon as Nicki stopped talking about it? How are even the sales relevant to the topic? It's not like HISS is phenomenal but for real Pink Friday 2 is meh, HISS has actual rap in it... And saying that PF2 if something comparable to any other Nicki album she has ever released (excluding Queen tbh) is just being delulu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houdini is mediocre at best, and the production sounds like a scraped song from FN.. for real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Releasing a country album out of Blue Sky without releasing even the visuals for her ACT I is a lack of direction, she skipped the whole ACT I era to go on tour. Again you compare mediocrity to mediocrity compare current Bey to Self titled / Lemonade/bday... She HAD VISION SHE SHOWED HER UNIQNESS. now you can give any of her recent material to any other pop star and it will sound the same (maybe a bit off vocals) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m confused so it’s not about Bey’s music lacking direction, but now about the era rollouts? 2. Who would you give Heated, Pure/Honey, Plastic Off The Sofa, Texas Hold ‘Em, and 16 Carriages to?

Era rollout is part of a whole vision about music I guess in my perspective. compare 10 years ago when a pop star would release an album - fully commit to it and put her heart out. (Gaga eras are an excellent example) Maybe today artists aim towards the TikTok hits and less about their artistic vision. And I didn't say her ACT I was bad, but I am saying that he was messy, and IMO Taxes Hold 'em and 16 carriages sound like any other country song only with a more soprano voice.

I mean, yes the era was messy. There was clearly something going on with the visuals (which we presume still exist and may be revealed eventually given Nadia Lee Cohen also worked on the Act II visuals). I will say that having specific eras geared towards exploring different genres seems on paper more coherent than what Lemonade was (a dabbling in a bunch of different genres at once, in an album primarily about infidelity and rebuilding, but also having some allusions to Black Empowerment). I’m not saying you thought Act I/II were/will be bad, but if you think these songs could easily go to different artists, I’m curious who you’d assign those tracks.
