At this point in history there’s been a billion songs from female singers about relationships. Nearly every song revolves around that topic.
Where are the songs like:
Blue Öyster Cult - Don’t Fear The Reaper
The Charlie Daniels Band - The Devil Went Down to Georgia
Even great songs like Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac though about a witch is still about a witch & unrequited love.
One reason why I like Trip Hop is because there’s some great female voices but the lyrics aren’t always themed towards relationships. I suspect though that many of those songs are written by the guys in the band.
Everything I have stated above about female singers applies to female comedians too. They primarily joke about relationship stuff. There are no female Mitch Hedbergs joking about silly shit.
I just want to hear Shakira or Jewel or Norah Jones sing a song about mudwrestling Satan in a dive bar in 1970s Louisiana. Ladies, where is your imagination?
Cindy Lou Who has a death metal band that’s relatively famous.
The music is out there, it’s just never gonna pop level huge.
I always forget about her band. They are really good. ETA: the band is called The Pretty Reckless
