Urban Lane Struggle

[Blind Gossip] This very hot music duo is a big success.

In the past five years, they have scored several Top 10 hits and a lot of nominations and wins at the big music awards. If you watch the Grammys, The Billboard Music Awards, The American Music Awards, etc., you definitely know them.

Everyone is clamoring to get closer to them and to collaborate with them.

There’s a female singer who was part of a music group. She even did a network TV show to showcase her star talent. As a solo artist, she is actively looking for opportunities to collaborate with some big names.

She was so excited to find out that the big-name duo wanted to work with her! She was waiting for something just like this to happen, and it finally did!

Except… her label had other ideas.

She was offered a chance to work with [The Duo] on a track but her label said NO! She is really struggling to get urban music attention but her label doesn’t think that working with [The Duo] will grab her that urban audience.

She was crushed. Here she is, looking for opportunities, excited to work with a couple of the hottest performers in music today… and her label nixes the deal.

There are so few chances to make it in the music business that it is genuinely puzzling that her label would rather have her stay in the lane they have picked for her and let her struggle rather than collaborate with creative and successful artists.

The urban lane struggle is real!

    Duo: I don’t know

    Solo Artist: Camila Cabello

    Her Former Group and/or TV Show: Fifth Harmony / X Factor

  6. buythestars says

    Normani and The Chainsmokers. Normani was part of fifth harmony who were formed on the X Factor. Clues: closer, and “urban” music because Normani is black. This is a big mistake- she should be going after every opportunity, especially because The Chainsmokers are really famous. They are making a huge mistake…

    • buythestars says

      Normani is also doing lots of collaborations, like with Sam Smith and Khalid, to get her name out there

  10. hushedtones says

    Sounds like Normani of Fifth Harmony (did DWTS, collabs with Sam Smith & Khalid) and The Chainsmokers (something just like this, closer).

    I think she’ll struggle to drop the pop girl group image, she should be allowed to milk it for what it’s worth. Great voice, I hope she makes it .

  11. Realistic says

    The Chainsmokers
    Normani
    Fifth Harmony/X Factor
    Clues: closer, something just like this (both songs from the Chainsmokers)

  13. PatioPrincess says

    Don’t know who the girl is, but the group is the little gay Korean boys…k-pop or some such. I personally don’t get them, but the industry is fickle so whatever.

    Is this The Chainsmokers? I don’t think of them as Urban but the “closer” part made me think of them

  28. xxNYGirl says

    Duo: The Chainsmokers

    Solo Artist: Camila Cabello

    Her Former Group and/or TV Show: Fifth Harmony

    Clues: get “closer” (song with Halsey)

    [Optional] Is her label doing the right thing by trying to force her into the urban lane?: Nope! This could’ve been a great collab

  30. Sun in Libra says

    The chainsmokers. Clue is closer. Camilla Cabello. Old group was Fifth Harmony. Record label is making a mistake. She needs to collaborate because honestly she’s pretty bland and I can see her fading away quickly. She did Rent on tv I think. This is why the music industry is over. Imagine being owned in this way by a label and not being able to make music when you want.

  31. justwondering says

    Duo: The Chainsmokers

    Solo artist: Normani

    Group: Fifth Harmony

    Clues: “….closer to them…” they have a song that says “baby pull me closer”

    Optional: her label should let her do it.. staying in one genre is so boring and I think if artists don’t experiment or try music outside of the genre they are doing how can they learn to improve and get better in their craft or learn to incorporate different music genres in their main genre.

  32. Camila says

    “She was waiting for something just like this to happen” = The Chainsmokers for the duo.
