So, I have heard some of the songs in Owl City's new album the Midsummer Station, and they are really 'poppy' sounding - one of the songs (dunno what it's called) reminded me of Katy Perry! I am pretty shocked because usually his songs are so much better than that, i.e actually mean something, and have verses with actual lyrics rather than just repeating the same thing. I mean, listen to Lonely Lullaby, Fireflies, Peppermint Winter, Vanilla Sunset... they bear little resemblence to the morden disco-pap. But now he even has a stupid Justin Bieber haircut!
I'm pretty sure that this is happening to other artists, too, as they are forced to write songs that will be played in nightclubs in order to actually sell. JLS were pretty awesome while still on the X Factor, but now all their songs sound exactly the same. And not just the same as their own songs - that I can kind of understand - but the same as everyone else.
Hopefully there's only a couple of songs like that on Owl City's new album, so that he can sell singles. But what do you think? Will all artists eventually sound the same, to appeal to the masses?
