Let's be real for a second. In the current landscape of music, it feels like being a "trendsetter" and maintaining a perfect visual brand is 90% of the battle. If an artist isn't making headlines for their fashion or their "icon" status, the music itself barely seems to register on the charts. Has the industry reached a point where the sonic quality is just an afterthought to the visual marketing? I’m curious if anyone else feels that the essence of a true artist is being lost to the "diva" machine. Is the music still the main event for you, or are we all just here for the lifestyle and the aesthetics?
