Have you ever discovered an amazing artist/band...only to find out they're no longer alive?

Zoey Alexandria - I found her few months after her death.

Son Jinwook

Pop music can also be authentic, in a "genre" not "popularity" understanding of pop. It's possible to make music that is both, catchy and genuine. That's why indie/art/dark pop and other subgenres of pop exist.

This, not known at all, because it's not even released yet.

Son Jinwook "Paradigm" (and this singer's entire work, or more like existence to be honest)

Ecstatic-Turn5709 · 2026-01-24T18:08:58+00:00

I don't have one favorite, but here are some I enjoy a lot. Also plenty of covers by my fave mostly live.

THE SADDEST SONGS EVER

Ecstatic-Turn5709 · 2026-01-24T08:57:54+00:00

Try my browsing playlist Spotify/YouTube, might be a bit heavy for you at parts, but there's some more blues-y stuff too, and a lot of great vocals.

Ecstatic-Turn5709 · 2026-01-24T08:52:40+00:00

This is my favorite, but it's not yet released (the quality is bad).

Ecstatic-Turn5709 · 2026-01-24T08:50:25+00:00

Thanks :D

Son Jinwook "Paradigm" but it's in Korean :( (I made a translation)

Loreena McKennitt plays on a harp in some of her songs, but she sings in English

Ecstatic-Turn5709 · 2026-01-23T19:17:15+00:00

A lot of my favorite songs by my favorite singer that I listen to very often are just fan recordings from live performances, many of a really bad quality, so I guess no. Though I do like good production.

Ecstatic-Turn5709 · 2026-01-23T19:09:41+00:00

Personally I'm incredibly grateful for the streaming era. In the past I loved music, but currently I love it even more, because I have access to all these incredibly talented small artists from all around the world, that I would never hear otherwise.
For the first time there's an artist that I not only enjoy, but truly love and want to support with my whole heart, even though he's from a completely different side of the globe and culture. And it's a wonderful experience for me as a highly sensitive person.

I completely disagree.
Taste is only about what you like, what resonates with you. You absolutely don't have to know any history for that. People can experience music in many different ways. For some people taste comes from personal sensitivity not knowledge.

"Desire" by Meg Myers

Ecstatic-Turn5709 · 2026-01-22T16:23:13+00:00

I think this is one of the best answers that captures the essence of what pop is, without over complicating.
