Madonna, while one of the most involved, also leaned heavily on collaborators at various points. You also have Mariah - who is the sole lyric and melodic credit on most songs aside from samples or guest features - who also had periods during which she enjoyed collaborating as a team to try out new things. The Memoirs era is a good example - she allowed The Dream much more creative control when they were in the studio together. Now, as I said, I would have a hard time stanning someone who truly just goes in the studio to record vocals over a completed track, but if the music is great then I guess it doesn't matter? Anti is one of my favorite pop albums of the 2010s despite clearly being a writing camp project.

This has to be up there

I loved some of her deep cuts

I love when Dolly was full-on camp. This cover kinda eats

@conatus nnn

Bop. I had it downloaded even though I was in an anti-pop phase

The one time we needed a Taylor release

Classic

Our minds. It deserved so much more.

The way I wore that Ashanti CD out as an elementary or middle school kid. My catholic school boy self was so ahead of the times

Who is willingly streaming Beautiful Things

I've never understood the point of full-on stanning a karaoke singer (unless they're a master interpreter like Whitney or had quite a bit of uncredited creative involvement like Aaliyah). I mean, I guess if the music slaps.

Didn't RideorDie already confirm that the songs were either already finished or completed in hired writing camps

I feel like Miley just cosplays as whoever is producing each album. I like the new song, but seems like it would work better if she implemented more of her own identity?
