For those of you who might not be familiar with the term FRINGE it is the antonym of mainstream. I feel that todays artist whom might be talented are going away from their roots and their influences and trying to create music that is very popish, due to producers force feeding them into it, and to me the music comes off very lame. I am a music lover that is obsessed with finding artists whom stick with what they know best... and that my friends is MUSIC. Music that you can feel...Feel their pain, their love, heart ache, and joyfulness. For instance the artist Marc Broussard, a young man from Louisiana who grew up listening to the blues and soul music, and a son of a hall of fame guitar player. Blessed with musical genes He has developed what I believe as the best vocals in the industry and has not hit it what we call "Big".... yet he is very popular in the industry due to his incredible voice range and pure soul. Dont get me wrong he is popular with fans as well, but you will not hear him in the mainstream of music. I am not blaming these new age artist for changing to sell more records I am merely hoping that artists with this much talent are able to get their music herd at a mainstream level so that we as listeners can hear these great artist and listen to actual music. Check Marc Broussard and let us know what you think.
