The boys dream of becoming a rapper and trapper: that’s why the Pop stars are (almost) all women
Nothing is forever in pop musicnot even a stratospheric success like that of Taylor Swift. Just a moment and you become obsolete, overcome in freshness by some colleague who has insinuated in the ears of the entire world with a tune that likes to go crazy without a reason. AND The case of Espresso, Sabrina Carpenter’s world hit, who barely stalled the compass and eternally politically correct taylor from the first place in the standings. Three minutes and broken music disco repainted with plenty of use of digital sounds that hooked young and old bewitched by the new blonde pop doll of Quarkertown, Pennsylvania. A mix between past and present that also characterizes the atmosphere of the patinated video clip irradiated by the sun, partly turned in black and white and with a bizarre atmosphere for sixties the carpenter on the rear -dressed beach on the retro beach and accompanied by fascinating boys with the surfboard.
Sabrina alternates songs for broken hearts and teen in love with hot curtainssimulating three -way sex with two dancers on stage or speaking in concert of four -legged moments and pink handcuffs for prohibited games. All in a riot of sexy outfits, fire red lingerie and promotional campaigns with the clothes of a Kim Kardashian brand. In short, there is no lack of the stereotypes of the pop stars of the last decades, including debut, like Britney Spears, in a Disney series (Girl Meets World).
In pop business, nothing is thrown away everything is recycled and what goes out of fashion today becomes the trend of tomorrow. Madonna invented everything or almost at the time of autoeroticism on live TV with Like a Virgin and all the others have adapted from decade in the decade. Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Katy Perry … With a couple of exceptions: Lady Gaga, who with the foresight of the strategist alternates torrid disco songs with jazz swing moments (see the repertoire with Tony Bennett), soundtracks, duets (die with a smile with Bruno Mars and Sweet Sounds of Heaven with Rolling Stones) and a discreet film career. And Billie Eilish, who from the sound and image point of view, overturned the conventions and who above all managed, very young to spot a piece that is worth the whole career: what I was made for?, Present in the soundtrack of Barbie and winner of an Oscar for best original song.
One in a million makes it, for all the others there is anonymity or almost. We speak to female, because never like today the throne of pop music is firmly in the hands of girls. Except for Harry Stylesmen prefer a career, or presumed such, as a rapper or trapper: there are no more charismatic characters around the Elton John O Robbie Williams, but almost exclusively a multitude of clones in hip hop sauce that sing (so to speak) and attract to hard in the neighborhood by mimicking a street life without art or part. And so the pop highway is all girls like the Canadian Tate McRae (in concert in Bologna on June 13) Which today is 21 years old and who brought out his first single when he was fifteen. Former classic ballerina went to the first place in the world thanks to the album So Close So What. Faithful to the line, inspired without if and without but by the Spears of the late nineties, alternates love songs to others who deal with love, but in a slightly less demanded version: like Purple Lace Bra: «I listen to me only when I’m undressed. Feel what you like and nothing else, I’m losing your head because making you enjoy is the only moment you think I have depth feel what you like and nothing else ».
The narration of one’s life and the road that led to success is very important in the pop universe. That of Chappell Roan (winner this year of the Grammy for best debutant artist) It is a classic: the girl in the province raised in a campsite for caravan, but educated to the more traditional values of the American family, who dreams of Los Angeles and the Star System to give vent to his creative personality. And so Kayleigh Rose Amstutz from Willard, Missouri, Thanks to a phenomenal single, Good Luck, Babe! He made his dream come truethe one he had worked hard as a fast food order to be able to allow himself to escape to California. And now, his style, antithetical to sobriety, from clown with his face always hyper -made has become a trademark that accompanies her in all its performances. Idol of the Queer community, Chappell masterfully shuffled the best of the dance of the eighties and nineties. A piece is hardly wrong but a gaffe has done it in recent days: «All my friends who have young children are experiencing hell. I don’t know anyone who is happy ». In a few hours thousands of mothers explained to her on social media that instead being parents is also the most exciting and excited adventure of life ».
