Don’t want to sound rude but I don’t care to imagine or speculate about what Moz1983 would think of Moz2018 or Low In Highschool.
Moz1983 doesn’t exist anymore. I am glad that music is still there and available for me anytime I want to listen to it.
But why should I try to imagine and speculate about the opinion of someone that doesn’t exist anymore?
He moved on. Maybe not in the directions many fans would like but
he developed. Artistically and personally cause you can’t separate the two. As he rightfully stated himself.
In his career he undoubtedly, (for me) has been striving for a wide variety of ideas and new directions.
Some may be considered as failed but at least he tried. He dared.
He was never boringly stuck to tbe same old success formula that many people wanted him to stick to.
I love Low In Highschool.
This is Moz of NOW.
There is still so much of worth in it for me and it is, again, a very different and new approach.
If there is going to be a new album in the forecast, I bet it will be very different again and therefore interesting and a tbrill to listen to.
There are very, very few artists that have a back catalogue with that many influences and different angles as interesting as MoZ.
I also always liked the covers, songs and artists that inspired him and he never tried to hide it but was very open and honest about it and instead used them for his own artistic goals.
Always interesting and great to find out about it.
