Bedroom Artists/producers unite!

[@ninevehguitar]

Bernard Finucane Yes, and it has been for some time now. Indie artists now days have the ability to make their own music at home for not much money, and self-release everything. In fact, many pro mixers, producers, etc. are even shifting to home studios because of this. The old model of paying tens of thousands of dollars for studio time is basically on the verge of obsolete, so studio owners have to be creative and have more to offer now if they’re gonna her work. My band HUE(s) produces and records all of our stuff in a garage home studio. Dumped a bit of money into sound treatment, good monitors, good preamps, etc... We’re totally self-sufficient. The only thing record labels and studios have now that indie artists don’t, is contacts. But that’s changing too.

Yeah, it seems they are good at stealing lesser known artists' work. Check out the track "Sexual Vocation", from Harlots season 1 OST by Rael Jones, and compare it to last final section of Bad Guy. But hey, they now even dare making videos about how "creative" they are. Shameless.

[@lively7128]

@@robertovazquez2342 more like a sample, its definitively not a copy whatsoever (I've heard it). It can be an inspiration as it can be nothing like that but that's how musician and artist works, with the inspiration from others. Don't be salty, they've worked hard to make good music.

[@robertovazquez2342]

@@lively7128 Man I like them too, so I know it's hard to criticize someone you idolize. But still, listen to this: open.spotify.com/track/4ZD67ewOThAt7A2QV9xLIe?si=SmZatjF1QOy4zFt43_NNLA Just compare it to the very last bit of Bad Guy... They just should't plagiarize like that. Honestly they have enough talent, support and resources to have the chance to put in the work and just create, without ilegally using lesser known artist's work. It's an ugly thing to do, and It's unfortunately not the first time they are accused of plagiarism. www.popbuzz.com/music/artists/billie-eilish/news/bad-guy-video-dave-meyers-plagiarism/ How can we trust now that anything in this song, or their overall work, is actually theirs?

@@HughJorgan1 I mean, that doesn't really mean anything though... I'm not saying Billie's songs are bad and I'm not saying Elvis's or Whitney's songs are good (I haven't listened to many of them so Idk), but quality and quantity are two different things. So having more songs doesn't mean much.

[@HughJorgan1]

Trey Atkins...Good points. What I mean is that Elvis and Whitney wrote hardly any of their songs. The fact Billie has more...already...is amazing. For Elvis, he wrote only about half a dozen (out of the hundreds he put on albums) and I don’t think Whitney wrote a single one. They were both essentially singing karaoke their whole career. I have far more respect for artists that write their own music. That said, I’d like to hear Billie do some covers in the future. Her voice is phenomenal.
