Sometime a record company or a manager will mold a recording artist into what they want to sell. Pebbles was her own creation. Her "brand" came from her, based on interviews I've seen.

You don't get it. Music today is so technically advanced that you don't understand it. Technically music of today is so far advanced to this. Sonically maybe it's not that great. If you actually listen to music of today it's way way more technically advance music can't stay in the same medium It's growing every year. listen to any song that came out today and don't just listen to it but try and listen to it even deeper. than just lyrics and beats. You'll understand then. This music is simple the way it's arranged.
