Could crowdfunding sites be the next big way for artists to
get in the studio and get their music heard? Crowdfunding platforms are
typically used by unknown artists to finance their creative projects. Although
it has recently expanded to established stars like Spike Lee, Zach
Braff and one of history’s most successful R&B groups, TLC.
TLC started their campaign on Monday with the crowdfunding
platform Kickstarter and in three days exceeded their goal of $150,000.
One could say who wouldn’t want another TLC album. I know I do. But others have
suggested that the fact TLC isn’t going through a record label for funds may
mean that this album isn’t necessarily something marketable. Then there’s
always the obvious question of what will this album be like without Lisa “Left
Eye” Lopes who tragically died in a car accident.
Do you feel crowdfunding should be left for struggling
unknown artists that have exhausted all means or be used by existing stars with
the clout, connections and a bankroll to do it the traditional way? Will
you help “Kickstart” TLCs next and supposedly last album?
