With EDM on the forefront of the music industry, it has garnered all kinds of attention and been blessed with the proverbial bullseye on its back. From mainstream media to celebrities, people can no longer help but to voice their opinion on the genre to stay in the limelight. For example, take a listen to what Santigold had to say about about our beloved EDM:
New York (AP) — "You may love dance and electronic music, but Santigold hates it.
The singer-rapper, who has collaborated with Jay-Z, the Beastie Boys and Mark Ronson, says she wishes the sound wasn’t so popular.
“I really don’t like that music, that sort of Euro-dance music, Ibiza-style. I’ve never liked it, even when it was kind of new and underground,” she said.
The electronic and dance genre has taken over U.S. radio in the last few years, with acts from Rihanna to Britney Spears to Usher to Katy Perry adopting the sound, and churning out No. 1 hits.
Santigold says today’s pop hits are formulaic, where artists “hire one of three producers, one of a couple songwriters, and you pretty much get the exact same song every time.”
