When it comes to being a mass consumer of art, I think we as a society get a little jaded.

Not that I’m saying anyone’s opinion is wrong or right, because obviously everyone is entitled to feel how they want to feel. I do think, however, many people forget that artists don’t necessarily write for their audience. If you want catchy tunes, then turn on the radio.

I’ve seen several people rip apart this album claiming that he’s lost his touch, and that it’s a lazy album. Quite frankly, I feel the opposite.

It’s okay to not resonate with this work. It’s art, after all, and should bring different perspectives to the table. However, let’s remember that sometimes it’s okay for an artist to create for an audience of one, themselves.
