Enough of Singer-Led Songs

Here's what I mean. Too much music, especially American music has nothing at all interesting about it, because it is all about the singer's personality.

It's Taylor Swift or Katy Perry's costume and stage persona, and she is effectively a shill for lackluster music. She needs to sing on key and over the uninspired music. But if you remove the vocals... there is nothing there.

Now, this is a song from 90s or so anime Mokke.

Okay, now, let's listen to it with no singer.


She adds the passion of her voice to enhance the song. But the tune is perfectly fine.

You should be able to hear the song through the singer without them feeling drowned out by the music either.

More examples:




Meanwhile in America... we get The Beatles and their bland ripoffs of black songs.

After a while of not listening to the radio, when I tune in I found too many unfamiliar, yet similar songs. Not sure what makes the quality drop a bit (imo)

Watching Key the Metal Idol. They're making a commentary on how soulless modern music is when this guy employs robotic dolls to sing for him.  They control these using psychic headgear, so it's alot of behind-the-scenes puppetry. Similar to how most singers have their words written for them,

Meanwhile, the main girl is convinced she is just a robot, but she's just shy.

Didn't consider headgear based robots can even be used in music video production. Not sure why they get creative with the visuals yet sometimes fail to apply all that creativity into the song too. Eg: wayyy too many love songs, yet not enough flat earth music

Eric Dubay basically corners the market on flat Earth rap. I don't see him becoming a millionaire on record deals tho.



Anyway, rap is one of my problems. I'm more concerned with good chord progression.
