One reason this happens is because artists also make the "I'm in Love" album, which is often just as bad as the divorce album as a symbolic gesture. That's what was remarkable about Beyonce/Lemonade: they both gave as much as they hid, and also the music was incredible. For our girl Miranda, she almost completely avoided the IIL album with "Platinum," but fell into the divorce album trap on about the entire second half of "Weight of these Wings" (the first half is still a fucking great album that rivals her best work at its high points).
It is obviously very bad that women are the ones who are somehow always responsible for explaining about how they are in love or getting divorced in pop music.
The irony here for me is that I’m pretty high, right now, which is causing me to say, Yes, he’s so right about divorce albums. God, is he right about it. So right. Only in my mind it’s all caps.
