So who’s your favourite pop star?
Now there’s a shiny new Lemmy group up and running at @popheads (Mastodon users: follow it if you want more discussion of pop music in your Mastodon feed), it’s time to ask who’s your favourite pop star? Do you have a favourite song or album?
My current faves are:
Alessia Cara: Perhaps the most talented and certainly the most underrated of the current crop of pop stars. She’s fallen out of the limelight the past couple of years, which is a pity, because there’s some excellent songs on her recent albums:
Willow Smith: Done some really great songs recently:
And some all-time favourites:
Prince
John Farnham (but only his Whispering Jack/Age of Reason/Chain Reaction '80s to early '90s run)
Janet Jackson, and most of the broader Jackson family. (Jermaine, Rebbie, and TJ in particular have some hidden gems in their discography.)
Alessia Cara is great, I agree!
@Theroddd She’s incredibly talented, yet (aside from Here/Scars to your beautiful/Stay) completely underrated.
Which is a huge shame, because IMHO her best work is what she’s released after the Know-it-all album.
There’s also some real hidden gems in her discography, including tracks like Seven Days.
Hopefully, her next era (which is hopefully on the way) performs better.
I admit I haven’t listened to too much of her less popular stuff. I will check it out when I have time. Thank you.
