People don't make albums anymore- Beyonce

Beyonce Beyonce

American singer, songwriter, Beyonce has highlighted the ills in the music industry.

In a flashback interview, the multiple-award winner said people do not make albums anymore, what they do is sell singles and burn out.

"People don't make albums anymore. They just try to sell a bunch of quick singles and burn out and put out a new one. They do not try to listen to a body of work anymore, they are all just brainwashed," she said

Comparing the contemporary artistes to the ones of the old, she said modern-day artistes use pictures on their social media to distort their personality. She added that modern-day artistes do not know how to keep their personal life out of their art.

"You get up in the morning, click on a computer and all you see are pictures. That is all you think of- the picture and the image you see every day. You do not see the human form and when Nina Simone put out the music, you loved her voice. That was what she wanted you to love- that was her instrument.

"You were not brainwashed by her day-to-day life, what her child is wearing, who she is dating and all that things that really is not your business," the record producer explained.
