So who’s your favourite pop star?
Now there’s a shiny new Lemmy group up and running at @popheads (Mastodon users: follow it if you want more discussion of pop music in your Mastodon feed), it’s time to ask who’s your favourite pop star? Do you have a favourite song or album?
My current faves are:
Alessia Cara: Perhaps the most talented and certainly the most underrated of the current crop of pop stars. She’s fallen out of the limelight the past couple of years, which is a pity, because there’s some excellent songs on her recent albums:
Willow Smith: Done some really great songs recently:
And some all-time favourites:
Prince
John Farnham (but only his Whispering Jack/Age of Reason/Chain Reaction '80s to early '90s run)
Janet Jackson, and most of the broader Jackson family. (Jermaine, Rebbie, and TJ in particular have some hidden gems in their discography.)
CRJ mostly, so definitely nice to see one of her songs as the first things posted here lol, and Charli XCX too I’d say
I’ll be honest I forget about CRJ too often, but then I slip into a funk and listen to her non-stop. I’m really digging her latest album right now! (As the post kinda showed…)
Post some XCX stuff for us when you can, I’d be interested!
