Steven Patrick Morrissey, the man, the myth, the maladjusted has once more spoke out regarding a world he sees in dire creative turmoil.
For the man who once asked the world, how could anybody possible know how he fells; he’s quite fond of telling us at-large.
In a recent interview the crooning singer lamented that marketing is the force which drives music nowadays.
In speaking with Boulder Weekly, Morrissey condemned the likes of Sam Smith and Ed Sheeran as his golden calves for this generation of pop music.
He added, “things can’t possibly get any worse…there are no bands or singers who become successful without overwhelming marketing.”
The 56-year-old singer concluded that today is an era of marketed pop stars where labels fully control the charts.
