in terms of image, the label could have a hand in the art direction. however, in terms of sound, its more than evident that she wears her influences on her sleeve. to say that this is a reach is cap but the music still fye so idrc

Wake up. That’s how pop music works. You let your team work do the work and you put your name on it. Did you hear Lorde’s latest song? It sounds a lot like “Loaded” by Primal Scream. Lorde claims she’s never heard of the song before making “Solar Power”. That’s maybe true. But what about Antonoff who co-wrote the song? You think he didn’t know about this song? He most certainly did. He saw a formula and watered it down to make it more digestible to wider audiences. That’s it. That’s pop music. A copy of a copy of a copy. A simulacra.

Objectively wrong

Carti?

if you a starving rapper and a label offers you a deal and then your creative team steal some s*** from somebody behind your back how is that your fault

Niggas will throw they whole genre of music under the bus to defend a artist they like

No comment

It's like the Panini part that sounds like In Bloom

Need CLB to drop so the Olivia slander will calm down

you should do proper research before agreeing to something (this includes watching every music video and listening to every artist/band that exists)

See the difference is you’re equating that with a bad thing. How is acknowledging that pop music is fundamentally unoriginal ‘throwing it under the bus’ ?

I mean isnt she like 16 and an industry plant it's not like she not a puppet to a label responsible for everything she does says wears and puts out

I don’t even like her music. I think it’s bland as f***. Hell I’ve already argued with people here because they were denying the fact that she’s an industry plant. What I’m saying is that it’s literally how pop music (and mainstream music in general) work.

white people stealing from white people now

The only thing in the vid with any credence is the photos/art direction looking like the other band.

But I also feel like the teen, prom, indie movie aesthetic is a creative destination that is so easily arrived at. I’m sure she didn’t come up with every single shot, image, costume, set designing. But whoever did, I wouldn’t even assume they stole all those pics. It seems like such an obvious style

This but unironically

not true yb better out now

that's sad

Cringe-worthy post.

I feel like a girl pretending to be a cheerleader in high school was an idea used before either of these people and at this point nobody can "claim it"

It’s his entire shtick lol

He’s straight up saying all this s*** is unoriginal and it’s just one office room of suits taking from the next. S*** makes the whole genre seem kinda lame tbh

theres karaoke mode on apple music?? :word:

dam

Don't they know that all pop music is made with the same 4 chords?
