There are actually very few main female artist in today;s industry vs. how many men there are. ]]> 2018-04-06 03:02:32 UTC https://padlet.com/taylorbrookins1/z29x6oka22sn/wish/249099919 taylorbrookins1 https://padlet.com/taylorbrookins1/z29x6oka22sn/wish/249100446 Gender has actually biased the different artist that I listen to. After thinking about it, most of the artist I listen to are females. There are very few male artists that I listen to. I think this is because they are singing about things that I can relate to. Typically, the artist are singing about some boy, a breakup, or just girl empowerment in general.  Some of the artist I listen to are Beyonce, Demi Lovato, Camilla Cabello, Jhene Aiko, as well as, Frank Ocean, Chance the Rapper, The Weeknd, and Bruno Mars.  I guess the main way I see gender intersecting with each other through music, is when the female artist sings about males and their actions or male artist sing about females and make love songs or sing about breakups as well. I think the music industry is operating this way, because they believe that's the only way they can connect to their audience/fans and keep them listening. In some ways that can be true, because people are going to listen to what they can relate to. I think this is also why we don’t have a lot of female rappers in the industry today, because rap has always been seen as a “male” genre of music. I definitely believe that no specific genre is for any specific gender. I think that artist should be able sing and produce whatever music they want no matter their gender. ]]> 2018-04-06 03:07:06 UTC https://padlet.com/taylorbrookins1/z29x6oka22sn/wish/249100446 taylorbrookins1 https://padlet.com/taylorbrookins1/z29x6oka22sn/wish/249107152 This song by beyonce relates to so many women out in the world that are doing everything to make themselves "pretty" and fit in. This is definitely a girl/ women empowerment song that is very inspirational. ]]> 2018-04-06 04:13:47 UTC https://padlet.com/taylorbrookins1/z29x6oka22sn/wish/249107152 taylorbrookins1 https://padlet.com/taylorbrookins1/z29x6oka22sn/wish/249108145 In this song you can definitely notice all of the masculinity in his voice as well as the language he is using.He also has a lot of males featuring on the song which a lot more masculinity. ]]> 2018-04-06 04:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/taylorbrookins1/z29x6oka22sn/wish/249108145 taylorbrookins1 https://padlet.com/taylorbrookins1/z29x6oka22sn/wish/249108809 This fierce photo of Beyonce gives a confidence boost to woman and lets them know that they can be a queen to.
