I'm hoping you were just playing "Devil's Advocate" with me , but in case you were'nt I guess a short explanation for what I meant is in order.
Hmm, where to start.... This was a serious question ? Ok , I'll stop stalling !
There appear to be a lot of persons recording music who are more interested in showing off
a particular "style" , & that "style" seems to "pop up" (in varying degrees) in all the music they
play. I don't know but that could mean their "musical chops" may not be strong enough to move beyond what they try stylistically. To move outside of this comfort zone takes an understanding of what an instrument (or voice) can do.
There are many "musicians' who can be stylistically strong in anything they do. The same can't be said for a lot of "entertainers" (be they recording artists or not). I'm not a fan of those
who use music as a "personal,vehicle" to show us "how good they are".
Music is greater than we'll ever be. I don't understand people who don't think this. I don't know if this actually explains "the craft of becoming a Musician" other than the old
song lyric "you gotta suffer if you wanna sing the blues" (I really can't relate to the Blues genre ,but I understand this particular sentiment ! He,he,he)
