All albums should be completely solo, no features/collaborations
''Solo" also applying to groups and bands. I simply did not sign up hear anyone else sing.
I do think there is value in duets and collabs, many of them are beautiful and vital to music history. But they're being done totally wrong. They should be tacked on as a bonus or released as a seperate single. Albums need to stay pure and clean, make a new version to have the artist hop on! I want to be able to hear just you if I want to. What if I think their voice is unlistenable? There are many songs that interrupt the flow on a record because they have a feature on them. I really hate how normalised this has become. It is NOT that hard to make a solo version available...
I'm not only an albums purist, I'm a songs purist too. No song with a feature should exist without a solo version to go with it. Simple as. I should have the option to listen to the person/band I came here specifically to listen to, not whoever they think complements the song (It's a 50/50 on whether I think they do, which is why they should play it safe)
