The 64 million dollars that Taylor Swift won in 2014, ranking second in the list of female artists who entered the year (behind the insatiable Beyoncé, 115 million), not console the pop star. What good is money when one gets the glory? Maybe his face Paper magazines and his voice has become a music without borders, but as everyone thinks, "There goes another puppet, another product of marketing." You can not deny that Taylor Swift is a lucrative business candy, the successful formula of the young + beautiful + good girl (rebellious child tired of being good is also accepted); but apart from all those profitable attributes, and although some may seem a detail not to be taken into account, the singer also has talent. Swift began singing at age five, at 12 wrote country wedding songs in Nashville and at 16 published his first album. However, the general public perceives it as the pretty face after a good strategy and automatically attributed to men creativity of their work. In this connection, the artist said in an interview with Time.. "No wonder if my friend Ed write katrina kaif hindi movies songs.At first I liked to think that all played in the grounds But then there's the people who questions the validity of a female composer ... it is disappointing that women have to work harder to prove that we are authors of something. "
Unfortunately, these sexist accusations also sprout among women themselves. Such is the case of the English artist Imogen Heap, who acknowledged on his blog that he thought Taylor Swift "would not write too much of their music and that would be managed by a group of executives gentlemen surrounded by formulas and spreadsheets," until in late October last year was able to work closely with the US, who was declared a big fan of Imogen and asked for a collaboration. In the same blog post, Heap recounts the day he worked in the studio and recognize how wrong I was about Swift: "It has motivated and working hard is a charming, genuine and talented spirit.".

English has never been outspoken, and after a break of five years in which he had two children, returned, as expected, making noise. Two months before the album's release, Allen showed his lack of understanding about the workings of the music industry in an interview with Radio 2: "It is interesting that some of the greatest artists, if not most, are women will also notice that. behind these large and successful female artists, there is always a man. Jay-Z to Beyoncé, Paul Epworth for Adele and Mark Ronson for me, like it was for Amy Winehouse. and never happens something with men. you do not think a man behind the production of another man because it is not a subject that has never spoken. "And the experimental electronic pop. No musical genre more or less commercial or alternatively, can resist this sad phenomenon.
well-established artists continue to suffer this contempt as Björk, who in an interview with Pitchfork on its eighth album Vulnicura (which was forced to publish online two months before because of a leak), responded to the statements claimed that Ark, Venezuelan producer, was solely responsible behind the disc, although later clarified that the Ark itself was a co-production. "It's not just a journalist is wrong, but everyone does it. He made music for what, 30 years? I've been to a study from 11. Arca had never made a record when I worked with him. He wanted write something on Twitter, just to say that it was a co-production. `Never will he win this battle. Déjalo' I said. But he insisted." Icelandic illustrated this citing discrimination Kanye West, who has worked on this album with several producers (Arca included), but no one would dare to doubt him as the main brain in their albums.

"Disappointing Meeting when presented me as the face of my music, or as a vocal muse, when I write or coescribo each of the songs," Solange Knowles complained via Twitter following a review that made Pitchfork on its EP True (2012). The journalist described it as "the ideal muse voice" to the co-producer Dev Hynes, who Pitchfork also credited as sole producer. Meanwhile, that same week Grimes wrote on Tumblr: "I'm tired of men who are not even professional musicians stop not offer his help (without having asked anything), as if I did this by accident and out bumping without them, or as if being a woman is unable to use technology. I have never seen something like this happen with my male colleagues. " MINE. I was also fed up with criticism from some journalists, to which Björk advised: "Take a picture in front of the mixer in the studio, and people will say,` Ah, well, a woman with a tool, like a man a guitarra'. " The rapper Missy Elliott, who took the stage with Katy Perry at the last show of the Super Bowl and that holds five Grammy awards for Best Artist, tweeted three weeks before the celebration of the great event: "There are not many women who are credited as producers and composers ". Then he was publishing the titles of some of the hits that bore his signature, as Signs Beyonce, the Butterfly album Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston Just Whitney, or your own hit, Get Ur Freak On.
