did you read the quotes in the article?
Zachary Foster
He's probably more relevant right now than Lady Gaga so if anything he's just doing her a favor.
Nathaniel White
dave longstreth from dirty projectors wrote some shit for kanye west and rihanna, does that make him a sell out?
Brody Carter
Let's be real, guys. After Currents, we all kind of saw this coming.
Tame Impala had a good run, now I guess it's time to cash in. I'll always respect him for getting this far as an actually good rock band in this generation. What other contemporary ock bands are currently enjoying his level of mainstream success? The 1975? Imagine fucking Dragons? He got popular by being good. That's fucking difficult to do nowadays, being a rock artist doesn't pay like it used to. I guess he's tired of it though.
Who can really blame him? If you knew you could make critically acclaimed rock music and be moderately rich or critically acclaimed pop music and be fabulously rich, which would you go with? I also don't think he's lying about thinking the "corporate music world" had more passion than he thought. He probably does genuinely enjoy it.
It just kind of sucks to see him go this route anyway. Ah well, that's reality.
Brayden Sanchez
Maybe he implied that he was able to write a song for what he described as a "musical genius" and that led him to conclude that it was a life defining time for him
Jaxson Johnson
Eh, Currents was pretty much total pop though. Parker's entire band went pop, now he's producing for pop artists. It's a worrying trend.
Aaron Sanders
Gaga described HIM as a musical genius.
David Turner
currents>lonerism

>waaah why are rock artists not getting noticed in the mainstream
>*gets noticed*
>waaah fucking sellout, why does he want to make money off of his music??? stay true to the ideals man, fuk the system
Rock fans are truly pathetic
Maybe rock would still be alive is rock artists bothered to write good songs instead of letting the reverb and echo do all the work
Jose Bennett
look, lonerism and innerspeaker are still psych pop records. let's not pretend those albums aren't pop music to at least some degree, even if currents and it's synth-y disco sound is a straight pop album.
Sebastian Torres
Either way it's nothing really to get up at arms. Kevin will still do what Tame Impala does best and still do Psych with more experimentation as they go by. I could be wrong, but it's not like they'll go Maroon 5 on us
Wyatt Jenkins
are yall really picking on my nigga kev? Hes like the chillest dude ever. Just minds his own and makes music. Theres plenty worse people that you should be hating on
Matthew Cox
Or you could look at in the non pleb contrarian way and see that its a great opportunity for new sounds to leak into the mainstream and make the radio listenable again
