Electronic indie-pop outfit Hot Chip have told of their unhappiness with how 'conservative' today's music scene has become – and used Tulisa Contostavlos (a.k.a 'the lady from N-Dubz') as an example.
The London-based outfit have complained that the music that comes out nowadays has been mixed, mastered, and messed-with so much that the 'flaws that make everything really loveable' are no longer present – something which Hot Chip's Joe Goddard isn't at all happy about.
Goddard told The Guardian: “They take out all the flaws that make everything really loveable for me. Pop music's become quite conservative in a lot of ways. There's quite a lot of cynicism now about how to make pop records and what the point of it is.”
He continued: “I saw the lady from N-Dubz on a chatshow and they were asking how she felt about the band splitting up. She just talked about having to pay her mortgage as being the main issue.”
