This might be the most pretentious album I've ever heard in my life
Yes, pretentious. As in so overly concerned with its assumed thematic significance that its creator forgets he's supposed to have, you know, a skill, and instead focuses on his emotions and ideas rather than their expression.
Dean Blunt doesn't ignore the conventions of competent singing and pop music because he's moved past them, because he's in tune with a higher vision. He ignores the conventions of competent singing and pop music because he's too untalented to follow them. He's an incapable and inferior musician, and he knows it.
Right, because there's lots of Top 40 songs where the singer is completely flat and can't carry a note to save his life. There's lots of Top 40 songs with a focus on mood over its lazy, unfocused melody. There's lots of Top 40 songs with excessive sampling (plagiarism)
fuck off

1. Dean Blunt doesn't try to sing. It's like knocking Beyonce for not rapping. 2. Dean writes god tier melodies 3. There are top 40 songs with excessive sampling lmao
go back to listening to anco and death grips user. this is too much for you
Jordan Clark
>excessive sampling (plagiarism) Oh, so this is just a b8 thread
Austin Howard
thats why he's genius self aware god.
Luis Rivera
So you're saying it's bad because Dean can't sing?

>1. Dean Blunt doesn't try to sing. It's like knocking Beyonce for not rapping. What are you talking about? Do you not know what singing is? He's phrasing his voice so that it has a melody, and he's doing it intentionally. Yes he fails to hit the notes he's aiming for and the result is awful and unpleasant, but he's still trying, and he's still singing. If he wasn't trying to sing then he would never put his godawful voice on the track in the first place. I agree that he and Beyonce both fail in their attempts to create music, but that doesn't recuse them from having expended effort in their failure
>2. Dean writes god tier melodies No, they are forgettable, boring, and lazy.
>3. There are top 40 songs with excessive sampling lmao That true, I got carried away when I was trying to draw further attention to his lack of talent.
I'm sorry to put your psudery on full display for everybody to see like this, but you need to learn that it's not okay to treat art like a cute accessory for your personality in front of people who know what they're talking about. Your shallowness and lack of taste WILL get exposed sooner or later by me and others like me
Excessive sampling is plagiarism, especially when its known that the artist in question has no musical ability
Being aware that you're untalented and incapable doesn't give you talent and ability

Every singer without perfect pitch BTFO
David Barnes
listen to more dean blunt and you will get it. it's ok user just let it happen
Jaxson Davis
how does dean make a living? there's no way in hell he could make it with the "profit" from his music and almost no touring. is he on welfare?
Aaron Rogers
again you're pointing out why people love him. It's genius he's pulling this stuff off. nobody sounds like him or even does it better, I've yet to hear an album better or similar black metal or redeemer has brought forward
if anything link me some better artist than dean blunt.
Gabriel Myers
he makes more money than the avg american musician euro/pounds and his equipment is basically macbook+keyboard youtube.com/watch?v=1iOT5OjefWU but yeah he probably has another job
Cooper Gomez
you can get by with like 20k a year in 99% of the world. money is a meme
Cooper Thomas

Jordan Reyes

Kayden Gonzalez

>factitious

Taylor Swift didn't write or produce that song. also didn't direct the video or have any hand in making it. she showed up sang and they pitch corrected it in post. try again
how is it any different from sampling songs in its almost entirety and adding some vocals on top of it? i'm not the dude you're replying to btw
Justin Campbell
im not the dude you're replying to but honestly just sit there and think about that for one second user.
Camden Phillips
i'm not a taylor swift fan but you're being dishonest if you can't see how some of her songs have way more input of hers than some of dean's material features his own input. i know it's part of his charm and his point but it doesn't make it less true
Juan Hughes
>than some of dean's material post it
Brody James
This comes to mind as being particularly egregious and lazy youtu.be/cwBW9E9tnAs
