foreveryoung Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Do artists release new material when they are older i.e Shania Twain just released a new album, because there bank balance is running a bit low, or is it genuinely for the love of music and what they do. It's to idealistic to think it's to please there fans one last time, like Shania claims. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very competitive league, fine margins. Momentum of wins/losses. Psychology. Take your pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that they want to top up the bank balance,one last time before people stop buying their stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a mix of creative people wanting to get something out there, a cash grab and potentially public need. Shania Twain‘s album after listening to it is probably a mix of all 3. She still is quite a draw live and that where her money comes from. You have someone like Johnny Cash who some say put out some of his strongest material at the end of his career at a point where the label, his previous label had turned its back on him. I would argue that the American albums, initially were a cash grab but equally an outlet for his creativity. Tom T Hall had pretty much retired, had penned some fairly big songs so in the last 24 years of his life he released one album and that was a labour of love. I think those respected country singers that are older so slow down, they don’t have the need to put out sub par material, versus those that perhaps have lost respect by needlessly releasing horse shit like Giddy up.

villa4europe Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Maybe a 4th factor in the states - the taxman You see it all the time in the acting world, they need a quick book balancer Also what some of them do is thrash out an album or release a live album or greatest hits to try and get out of a record deal by fulfilling an obligation, I'm sure one of the oasis albums was for that reason, maybe stop the clocks and then that's why time flies followed it afterwards, it was to get out of the contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She got lyme disease at the height of her career and couldn't sing for a long time. Even now she doesn't have the power she used to have. I suspect she feels she has unfinished business.

Mark Albrighton Posted February 16, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 16, 2023 Just how much was Captain Edward Smith (of Titanic fame) an influence on the design of Captain Birdseye. I’ve never been able to shake the suspicion that Smith was in the minds of the marketing team but whenever I look into the matter I struggle to find any acknowledgment from Birds Eye. Or any commentary anywhere about the similarities between the two. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted February 20, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 20, 2023 Do English people like to beat up on their idols, watch them break to pieces, and then welcome them back with warmth the next year -- before moving on to the next? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
