shyboi Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 we know there's lots out there that sell their soul and try to become something different with every new trend that arises just to sell more, so... which artists have been authentic to their brands since day one?

chaklux Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Growth/Evolving doesn't make you inauthentic as long as it feels genuine and not just chasing trend. Beyoncé did evolve but if one been following her from day one, it makes sense and is authentic. Adele is authentic too 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alyssa Edwards Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 51 minutes ago, TitanicSurvivor said: Ariana Her second album was full of pop hits she didn't care for that were written for her in order to make her a huge star. Y'all just be saying the names of your faves and don't think further. Pop stars are out. Even Björk doesn't fit the definition of the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruel Summer Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Björk is the most incredibly consistent persona in the pop and pop-adjacent sphere despite her clear musical growth and evolution. Always weird, always bringing the talent, always good, never the same thing twice but never selling out 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
