    A single hyper-produced song from an artist with, it looks like, just two pop-metal singles and no other presence? boo.

      Everyone starts somewhere. The fact that those two singles are from the past couple months is why I’m so interested. It seems that she’s putting in effort to be outrageous while still demonstrating her skills to gain a following. It’s a smart strategy and I hope it works. If she just made pop-metal singles of a similar quality, she wouldn’t be as interesting. Being bold in some way is the right move. Doja Cat and Billie Eilish didn’t get popular by being normal. Belle Delphine went viral by being a cringe lord, not in spite of it.

      It all depends on how else she chooses to stand out and how she builds upon this theme. There’s more to build on from here, refining it or branching out in new directions. I think it’s a good start for a non pretentious career.

        I think the aesthetic is fine. But having one song with a music video that had to cost well over 10k to produce just reeks of some sort of pushed agenda to make money. Either some forced industry plant or very little talent with rich parents and ghost writers.

        Dont get me wrong. I did some digging cause I liked the song and wanted to see what else the artist had done. But I would probably be better off finding the writer of the song and checking out what other talent they’ve worked for.

          She definitely had resources, but that doesn’t mean she didn’t make it herself or not have talent. I posted somewhere else about this, but many people are skilled BECAUSE their parents are wealthy. That’s why the rich spend so much on private schools and tutors. Rich kids do better on tests and college entrance exams, not because they’re born smarter, but because they get training paid for by their parents. A ton of artists get good because wealth allowed them to.

          Plenty of people born with the talent for music of Mozart never get the training young Mozart got. He was a prodigy as a kid. How many parents had the money to give their kid piano lessons back then?

          I also doubt there’s some agenda being pushed directly outside of what the creators of this have. They chose to make an intentionally cringe hyperpop video with gore and violence. Even if they’re born wealthy, it probably wasn’t easy to get money and support for something like this.
