Many artists have horror stories about lack of creative freedom. A label might force an artist to work with certain producers or songwriters that the artist doesn't like or doesn't fit with their style. This can be really frustrating for the artist as their music is a form of self - expression. If they can't create the way they want, it can lead to a breakdown in their relationship with the label and a decline in their career satisfaction.
One major label horror story is when a band was signed and the label promised a lot of promotion but ended up doing very little. The band's album got buried and they lost a great opportunity to reach a wider audience.
To some extent. While not every artist will experience it, it's a real problem. Bjork's fame and her creative output put her in the spotlight. Stalkers are often attracted to that spotlight. They may be drawn to her music, her image, or her public persona. The horror stories that come from this can range from mild harassment to full - on threats and attempts to invade her personal space.
One horror story is about artists getting ripped off by their managers. For example, some managers take a huge percentage of the artist's earnings, leaving the artist with very little to live on. They might also make bad deals without the artist's full understanding.
The story of Kurt Cobain is also quite tragic. He was constantly hounded by the music industry and the press. He struggled with drug addiction and mental health issues. The music industry's intense pressure and the public's scrutiny took a toll on him. Eventually, he committed suicide, which was a huge shock to the music world.
Taylor Swift has won numerous Grammy Awards. Her songwriting skills are highly praised, and she has been able to tell stories through her lyrics in a very engaging way. For example, her album '1989' was a huge success both critically and commercially.
One horror story is when a record label signed an artist and promised a big promotion campaign but then did almost nothing. The artist was left with high hopes and no real exposure. Another is when a label took most of the royalties, leaving the artist struggling to make a living. And some labels have been known to hold artists in unfair contracts, preventing them from leaving even when the situation is bad.
Coco Chanel is a big success story. Her brand Chanel became a symbol of elegance. Her little black dress and Chanel No. 5 are iconic. Another is Gucci. It has managed to reinvent itself over the years and stay relevant in the highly competitive fashion market.
One common theme is the mismanagement of projects. For example, poor planning can lead to unrealistic deadlines, which then force developers to rush and make mistakes. Another theme is the issue of plagiarism, like when big companies steal ideas from smaller ones. Also, there are often problems with over - promising and under - delivering. A developer or a company might promise a game with amazing features, but in the end, due to various reasons like lack of resources or technical difficulties, they can't deliver what was promised.
A common one is over - processing. If too much keratin is applied or left on for too long, it can make the hair look dull and lifeless instead of shiny and smooth. For example, I know someone who left the keratin treatment on for a bit longer than recommended, and her hair ended up looking flat and greasy for weeks.
Late or no - show vendors are quite common. For example, the DJ not showing up means no music for the party. It ruins the whole mood of the reception.
