I can’t even blame artists who are trying to go #1 that bloat their albums. but if you’re not, then why bother?

do you guys think a short, cohesive and filler-less project makes you a bigger fan of an artist? or is it just me

streaming

thats def the short answer but artists barely get paid from streaming especially if theyre signed to a major so why not make that shorter album and tour it to a more dedicated group

Some artists can be exception to the rule but in general I do prefer it when an album is 13-14 tracks at most.

hadji quit music to be a youtuber

streamer era next

I personally don’t care. There’s prob songs on a bloated project that I don’t like that someone else does.

If you are a music fan who really puts the “album” on a pedestal, then you will care. And I understand that.

Some long albums do be snapping though

cuz people rather throw s*** at the wall to see what sticks

they act like two careers that make me no money cannot coexist

scared fw numbers will be triple tin foil

definitely. but takes a certain caliber of artist. sza SOS good example to me

ladies and gents

hadji is

Unemployed 😎

Drake’s fault

this is informative as f***

its crazy to see an artist I listen to making youtube videos about stuff like this

keep going crazy on both fronts!

Waiting for one of their half baked demos to hit tiktok is probably why

I think in 2023, there's artists who can drop a 30 minute album that sucks and I'll never listen to it again. meanwhile an album like Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme by Simon & Garfunkle can really capture my brain & attention for its 30 minute runtime because its creators are that dope. and if their label dropped a 50 minute deluxe version tomorrow with demos from the original sessions for that album, I would probably love it.

I don't think a long album is bad by default, its that music itself is a less skilled trade & less labor intensive than it has been in previous generations. so you have a chance to make more duds with every song that you slap onto an album. like you said, the best artists are deliberate and pay attention to details. too many people today are lazy with their work

would making shorter albums really make it so you have a more dedicated fan base though?

Streaming. a.k.a money at all costs, tale as old as the existence of money

u 100% right. its the last point im rly tryna make too so im glad u picked up on that. fans are attracted to deliberate artists. but its just not something that can easily be quantified

hell yea thank u!!!! my goal is to be transparent about stuff but also hopefully reach new people. so many youtubers start making music when they have that fanbase. im tryna see what happens when i come in with the music already lmao

im legit at work as we speak editing videos lmao

yea. its just f***ed up cause a lot of these artists dont even make any money on streaming lmao

because if its shorter then you get even less

the one sub everyone like who dont be doing s***
