WHY Pop Singers are Going Back to their Roots

[@LowkeyGivingUp]

I truly think Demi belongs in pop rock for her main genre. But Demi’s voice is so versatile they could do side projects with really any sound as well as the rock stuff.

[@theofficialVEVOformu]

Demi’s r&b and soul songs are fantastic as well.

[@davidsteffan9301]

i feel like katy’s vegas shows are very teenage dream aesthetic

[@jakey_playz]

But her staff came up with the play idea

[@mynameisreallycool1]

Avril Lavigne and Haley Williams are two other female singers who are returning to their pop rock roots. I'm very happy about this trend.

[@Ho3e]

Avril originally has that post grunge vibes during her earlier years which is completely different to pop punk

[@mynameisreallycool1]

@@Ho3e Her earlier stuff from Let Go seems more pop rock to me.

[@WingStorm]

*It's also interesting how Katy Perry has managed to get over 48+ Monthly listeners without releasing a solo single since 2020's Smile, I feel like her reputation is in a much better place so for this next album I want her label to be able to give her everything and I hope the material is there with Katy*

[@folklore9062]

If her label doesn't ignore it like last time ,it will be a hit

[@Zzz2x]

she’s trash tho she’s racist

[@tyshuon8786]

The shade when you said over 48+ monthly listeners 😂😂

[@WingStorm]

@Tys Huon I'm a Katy Cat so I promise I wasn't trying to shade her, I just find it weird how naturally over time Katy has managed to increase her listeners even hitting new peaks that she couldn't even hit during Smile, like did the black hair really have that much of an effect

[@oswiroa4973]

@@WingStorm yeah her streams in 2022 have improved quite a lot compared to a year ago

[@nickgarciacrawford]

tbh I think Demi was more inspired by Miley releasing Plastic Hearts than Olivia Rodrigo

[@mynameisreallycool1]

Probably. That would make a lot more sense. Plus Olivia's Sour is definitely more pop leaning than Demi's Holy Fvck.

[@NischalD17]

Demi said they went to a dead Sara concert and that made them want to go back to rock. Demi went to a kacey musgraves concert which is what made D7

[@GenHelium1]

Capital has been treating our girl Katy Soo bad!!! They didn't even try to make Smile at least a hit with Never Really Over debuted at #15 and didn't even try to promote:( alongside with Harleys In Hawaii releasing it in the middle months as a Summer song, but hey we got Daisy Love and the Smile album so I'm happy for her

[@gx1tar1er]

I think it had to do with Katy Perry was having a baby so she just dropped it without promotion. Also another thing is most of her fans & a lot of causal fans had moved on from her after Witness (that album flopped) & it turn a lot of her fans off as well.

[@RhapsodyHC]

Katy could also make a house/dance album with When I’m Gone already teasing it + other artists like Lady Gaga & Beyoncé recently dropped house inspired albums too.

[@oswiroa4973]

I really hope Katy does another teenage dream like album, I hate how she's struggling to chart now I need her to stop fooling around and focus on music again 😑 And I loved that meghan trainor song 😅

[@victoriarooks784]

Bruh it's not her fault! Look at capital records execs for that!

[@oswiroa4973]

@@victoriarooks784 oh yeah it's their fault too they don't promote her that much anymore. But Katy needs something better than "smile" if she wants a chance to make a comeback. Also, she not choosing cry about it later as a single is crazy

Xtina went back to Latin music and she just won a Latin Grammy for her album Aguilera 🦅 so your theory is holding up.

[@fabianvera3634]

I hope katy comes back with a pop rock album

[@caitlinthompson7540]

Madonna's best album is based on listener's age. There's a spectrum.

[@filipmarinkovic6281]

While everybody wants Katy Teenage Dream 2.0 BUT I want Witness 2.0 Witness is my very very very close 2nd (Prism is my all time fav), but it's production is easily Katy's best. Lyrics are also her best and themes as well. The whole aesthetic is amazing bc it is darker than usual and very futuristic. Witness feels like Katy the most and i want even more experimental Witness, but this time to be a huge success. Katy didn't realise an album in 2.5 years so im expecting lead single in the next few months Also 10:55 it's 6, Part Of Me DOES count

[@mynameisreallycool1]

Prism is my favorite album from her too. While Witness isn't my personal favorite, I definitely think it's over hated and that it has some great songs in there. I think the music videos for songs like Swish Swish and Bon Appetit sort of ruined the album for a lot of people, since they were kind of cringy, as well as the SNL performance with the backpack kid.

[@IamRocque]

Well you weren’t wrong Taylor sure did revisit 1989 basically. I kept saying this is giving 2014 but modern.

[@yeokussy]

i think maybe they wanna sell as they used to using nostalgia but im here for it 😩

[@kingstyn]

I doubt it because taylor is selling way more than she used to.

[@yeokussy]

[@robertobarcellos7348]

I don't think P!nk will really get back to pop rock with her next album. She just released the lead single from it and it's super pop-ish. I think we're going to get something like "The Truth About Love".

[@Douglas-Vaca]

this. couldn’t have said it better omg. literally slay you hit this out of the park ✨🫃🏽💅🏼

[@dagjohan3066]

You made such a good point! didn't even notice it before

[@RuuBjAh1]

11:08 No I highly doubt Katy will release a Teenage Dream 2.0... Mainly because it was so clear that's what she was trying to do with Smile and while I am one of the biggest fans of Smile, the GP wasn't liking it all that much and Katy does seem like someone who would definitely abort all future missions if something fails. However, the OOTB route is definitely possible - and I hope she does that actually...

[@ice_king_15]

Also Ellie Goulding, she is going back to Halcyon and Halcyon Days kind of sounds with the singles of her new album that comes in 2023
