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.)
@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.
