I don't know. Because people buy their product? Why? Beats me. Why do people eat the junk from McDonalds? Why is Britney Spears in the position she is? I sure don't enjoy or buy whatever BS she (and her team) is outputting.
I do know it is not really about her music. Like with any bubble gum pop act. Or other music that is conceived as a product and not from an artistic vision/drive. Nothing wrong with that. It doesn't hurt anybody. I am just not the least bit interested in working on that type of material or collaborating with the people who produce it.

Believe me, there are so many authentic, original, true artists out here (artists, as opposed to people trying to make it in the entertainment biz) to collaborate with and work for - I really don't mind at all if the people next door cranking out their loopz and beatz in ableton and fruityloops take their stuff elsewhere.

There's not enough time to work on all of it. I'd rather work on what I like with people who inspire me. Want to call that trolling? Fine with me.

With kind regards,
Klaas-Jan Govaart
