These are the last new songs I've saved in my bookmarks. I'll go through them one by one, and pretend I'm a record label trying to predict the future, so I can know what to invest in. What will happen to these artists and groups after five and ten years?
Post Malone - Dead At The Honky Tonk
Post Malone shows with his country album that he's NOT a one-hit, or five-hit wonder. He's one of the great artists of our time. He's all about the music.
5 year prediction: He will make whatever music he wants. A couple of different genres. Not too weird, always good songs, probably towards the rock direction, still with some rap influences in it.
10 year prediction: He has made whatever music he wants for a while, and has also gone back to his "roots" and made a hiphop album again. After his experimental phase he just wants to make a really great popular album, in the style he got famous for. He won't disappear from the music scene.
JADE - Angel Of My Dreams
This song is a one hit wonder with some artistical uniqueness to it. It will be remembered as an example of cool & good music people made in the 2020s with all that comes with it. At least when you find it in the archives, because I don't think people will talk about this song very much. I like this song, but it sounds like JADE poured all of her ideas into it.
5 year prediction: This will still be JADE's best song. But she will release a few more songs, and at most one album.
10 year prediction: JADE will be nowhere to be found.
3piece - Summer Feeling
This is a catchy song, but it wouldn't even stand out as something interesting or exceptional in the 2014 music world. And it feels too much like 2014 to be interesting to people today. I would love that sound to come back, but sorry, the 2014 nostalgia will arrive first in the 2030s when the youngsters have figured out a way to make a creative spin on that era's sound. This is just exactly that sound but 10 years too late.
5 year prediction: 3piece is disbanded.
10 year prediction: Still disbanded. These girls probably have too many kids to take care of to make music now.
XG - WOKE UP
Not a super interesting composition, but these girls are cool and all have their own thing going for them. This definitely stands out compared to what other pop music groups do now, so others will want to copy this. But the coolness of this comes from how it differs from the status quo today, and XG won't be able to surprise and shock for more than a few years. It's a right-place-and-time thing that's based on their youthful energy and rebellious energy. The girls have charisma and talent, so at least some of them will go on and do something different on their own (something not as shocking as this) after the group has disbanded, and stay in the entertainment industry for a while.
5 year prediction: XG is going strong but they're not as different and unique anymore. But they're okay.
10 year prediction: XG is disbanded, but 3 of the members have successful solo careers.
Benny The Butcher & Harry Fraud - KITCHEN TABLE
Benny The Butcher is timeless. He's reviving an old-school style in a way that that doesn't rely on the old clichés. As long as the songs are good, the people who like it will like it. They never become embarrassing or old, because they're just about music and not spectacle. And it's unique and interesting enough to sound good for not only hiphop nerds.
5 year prediction: Benny Butcher will continue to release stuff similar to what he does now, still as good.
10 year prediction: Benny Butcher will do whatever he wants.
