Jasmine Sandlas' post on why artists should take risks
In the above post, she mentions that she has written and released so many songs about her love for Punjab and the Punjabi language but unfortunately the only ones that made it “big” were all about liquor, brands and vanity. She adds that this is why artists like her drop superficial music to entertain their specific fan bases. She believes, however, when artists create a powerful platform supported by millions of followers, “important” music should be released - music that helps to evolve a culture and art and bring people together.
She further mentions that as she is also a student of psychology, she has always been doing subliminal experiments through her music albums just to see how the world responds. She further said that she always knew what would bring her millions of views and money but her quest was never that. In the caption, she urges artists to create the most authentic music so that the audience and fans can at least have an option. Many of her friends in the music industry are holding back their best lyrics because they don’t think the audience will “understand”. She has also heard some songs from her colleagues that will transform the industry for the better.
She added that the reason one should take the risk of not being understood immediately is that it’s better for the bigger picture in the long run. She also urged other artists to try out new music now. In conclusion, she also announced the release of her next album.
