This one is annoying because there is something there in terms of general concept which may be worth exploring, by somebody else.

How did he write this entire thing and not notice that his entire thesis boils down to "for every artist from this time period with multiple hits that people remember, there are one- or no-hit wonders that everyone has forgotten"?

I thought it would be about indie/blog-era gems that are lost because you only had the mp3, post-cd and pre-streaming.

Ah yes, a charming evening of career-spanning ragtime
While her dress positioned her somewhere between the angelic nymph persona she’s come to occupy over the years and Greco-Roman goddess of warfare, her sincerity in the face of noticeable nervousness revealed Newsom to be less of the stately elvish Homer of my generation’s dreams and more a spellbindingly human artist who proved the City of Brotherly Love to be true to its name.

The use of "ragtime" (and "rococo ragtime" in the review itself! though that seems ever so slightly more accurate tbh) almost made me wonder if there was a bot-generated component to this review. But googling around finds that a number of reviews of Divers include it on a list of styles that inform the album, presumably referring to Sapokanikan. Which, I guess. but pretty random for that descriptor to get linked to that song, let alone artist.
Highly recommend dipping into that reviewer's oeuvre. She has a similarly florid review of Roskilde 2019, rife with pull-quotes for this thread.

i may be just tired of the del rey overhype moment but something about this one really bugged mehttps://hyperallergic.com/515894/lana-del-rey-norman-fucking-rockwell/
Internet phenomenon turned Saturday Night Live laughing stock, her sustained popularity has perplexed those who would prefer to see brilliant women fail... based on her new album, she deserves comparison to the heavyweights of American mythology like Joni Mitchell and Joan Didion, Ernest Hemingway and Bob Dylan, Silvia Plath and Carole King.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Wednesday, 11 September 2019 18:00 (four years ago) link
I mean, in the context of "I am profoundly uninterested in what this person has to say with their art" I am pretty okay with comparing LDR to Hemingway and Dylan

Del Rey’s latest album is a culmination of the artist’s last four records, a singularity that allows her various personae to converge into higher form
not just one persona but personae

That same year, Del Rey stopped performing in front of the American flag, viewing it as “inappropriate” for the Trump era. She changed her backdrop to a screen of static instead, a multifaceted commentary on the “white noise” of American politics and the dissociative phenomenon of living in the world’s wealthiest country, which also happens to jail children.
