Moby: Ke$ha and Britney Spears Songs Shouldn't Be Called 'Music'
Quote:
Moby may have become a bona fide pop star when his landmark album 'Play' sold over 10 million copies back in 2000, but when it comes to the music of current chart-toppers like Ke$ha, Rihanna, Britney Spears and the Black Eyed Peas, he just can't relate. In fact, he thinks "music" is the wrong word for what they're putting out.
Well, he begged to work with Britney for Blackout again after he worked with her in In The Zone. HE produced Myléne's latest album which is quite similar to Ke$ha's and Britney's
Just because he doesn't like their "music" it doesnt mean it shouldn't be called "music". Cause if that's the case then what he does shouldn't be called "music" also.
Play is the fifth studio album by the music artist Moby, released on May 17, 1999 on V2 Records. While some of Moby's earlier work garnered critical and commercial success within the electronic dance music scene, Play was both a critical success and a commercial phenomenon. The album introduced Moby to a worldwide mainstream audience, not only through a large number of hit singles (that helped the album to dominate worldwide charts for two years), but also through unprecedented licensing of his music in films, television and commercial advertisements. It eventually became the biggest-selling album of its genre, with over 10 million copies sold worldwide. According to Rolling Stone, "Play wasn't the first album to make a rock star out of an insular techno nerdnik, but it was the first to make one a pop sensation. (...) Play made post-modernism cuddly, slowly but surely striking a chord with critics and record-buyers alike."
