There was a time where people would get signed based off of their talent before there was a fanbase β¦ and the team label would develop the artist and build the fanbase from the start.
A&R used to actually mean something
this is so interesting. i have NEVER seen this in my life. a brand new artist never been heard of. being surprised announced by a label while also simultaneously dropping their debut album with ZERO promo at the same time. like this is NEW NEW.
