Girl Groups: Can they survive?

June 10, 2010 2 Comments

Girl groups are going extinct — for now.

Remember groups like Brownstone, Blaque, Cheetah Girls, even hitmakers like Envogue, how about Destiny’s Child?

But as the music business continues to die, we’re about to see an unprecedented effort by music companies to compile artists, basically ask soloists to join forces to become groups.

Solo artists are finding it more difficult to hold on to recording deals, especially after their sophomore albums fail to take off. The remedy? Supergroups.

Imagine, someone like Ciara joining forces with Amerie, who’s album sales have tanked. Then they could join a third star, Sunshine Anderson, or Monique, or Monica, or Monifa, anybody.

The question, though, is would you buy it?

Before, it was “Hip Hop is dead” so I guess now the latest trend is “Girl Groups are dead.” Part of the problem with new girl groups is that half the listeners hate on them for being like older groups in the past, ie ghetto version of TLC, or wanna-be Destiny’s Child. The other half of listeners hate on them for NOT being like girl groups in the past. Same group, but listeners won’t let new groups be “new” groups. Girl groups are not dead; Sophia Fresh and Richgirl are working hard to keep it alive. Great music if people would try listening first.
