I mean some of them don't even write their own lyrics. Would that not suggest that the particular track has no meaning to that specific artist? I thought music is about putting your feelings, opinions and thoughts into music, not singing someone else's lyrics. For me, that's not enjoyable and in a way faking the way you actually are. You're not a good artist if you can only sing a song but fail with imagery and creativity.
it's always been a consumable device ever since Motown happened, and i mean stuff like The Supremes, which are "products"

i don't mean Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye or Smokey Robinson
