She moulded as an anti-popstar in the mainstream as others in the industry won't

Can we talk about how she disappeared so quickly? Feel like I couldn't escape her at one point but now she's an afterthought

That Barbie song "What was I made for?" is fantastic and makes me cry.

She literally has a hit song right now

It's lowkey cause of her older boyfriend.

When she got in a relationship with that older guy. It kilt her youthful fantasy madonna s***appeal and her momentum.

Boomer ass thread

She even tried going back to her goth emo aesthetic after the basic blonde era flopped but it was too late

Fire music

I don't think the stylistic switch up music-wise on her sophomore album did her any favours either

Her first ep and the album afterwards are 10/10

She has a bond song

Crazy

crazy how long ago her peak feels now

Fr? thats dope

What do you mean it was too late?

The only song she’s released since then is a track on the Barbie album and outside of the Dua Lipa single it’s the best performing song on the album.

She just finished a very successful arena tour that even had a couple stadium dates in it.

Y’all are so weird

I swear, every artist who blew up before the blog era wad a "plant" the way people use that term today. Lol

oddly enough, i rarely see industry plant be used for hip hop artists last time i seen it used for someone it was for Chance The Rapper

we had another guy on here who said Kendrick’s style aged bad and no one wanted to listen to it, after he just came off a very successful tour

they live in different realities on this site

Didn’t she get an X co-sign?

once ur signed, obviously ur gonna get a push

it's what leads to someone getting signed that makes them an industry plant. did the label pick them up bc they were generating a buzz on their own, or did they get signed bc their uncle is some big exec. or worst case, did they get signed as a cheap attempt to piggyback off some other artist's popularity.

she’s talented. Billie & her brother worked really hard to get heard by a massive audience?

younger talents are in prized among
entertainment industry (sometimes for nefarious purposes & mostly marketable potential)

i’ll give you 5 examples

jackson 5
stevie
hanson brothers
aaliyah (that’s 1 who was used for both)
kate bush

there you go, 5 groups or artists that worked really hard to get to tour and record. although kate was lucky - her records sold well enough she didn’t have to go on the road and could raise her family

😎

do u write this s*** in ur notes app

nobody doubts that white ppl love kendrick, ok. his music still has aged poorly tf are u gonna do, play that sht at a party? are u crazy?

if they arent aware of them before they start making noise, they gotta be getting shilled

she'd been popping since 2015/16, her soundcloud was playing at a lot of parties early on

she used to make pretty good music
