Tori Boltwood - Fame
Release Date: April 23, 2021
Length: 03:44
Genre: Indie Pop
Origin: Fort Worth, Texas, USA
The single "Fame" is Texan artist Tori Boltwood's take on the music industry. The song is a call for artists to act in solidarity with each other, instead of playing the big players' game and concurring against each other for a place in the sun.
The scholars amongst the readers might think of two things here:
1) according to Adorno, is it possible to criticize the music industry by producing a song?
(I say, yes! Tori Boltwood is an autochthonous Indie artist, Theodor!)
2) is that a Marxist idea?
(well, if you really want to, you can interpret "Fame" in a Marxist discourse, but solidarity and unity work without Marx, too, don't they?).
Enough with the theory... let's talk about music!
Tori Boltwood's "Fame" is a powerful Indie Pop song. Atmospheric soundscapes carry the verses, while bridge and chorus are emphasized via an intense brass section, and catchy backing vocals furtherly empower the chorus.
Tori Boltwood masterfully mixes contemporary pop music with opulent Soul. Her take against the harmful mechanisms of the music industry, and her call for solidarity amongst musicians and artists is a gorgeous anthem inviting the audience to bouyant dance moves.
