Yeah.. sounds too whiney. I don't like the real-time story-
telling of her lyrics either.

That sounds pretty good. Will consider an audition.

I went down a little rabbit hole of paino-related videos that
very quickly led me to Rick Beato's stuff. One of the first
one's I watched was "Almost Famous - Why Record Labels Suck-
6oWsgTAXc8U.mp4". It was an example how a big label can ruin
everything.
If you like Taylor S, you may like the lead singer in "I Nine -
Seven Days Of Lonely" There is a similarity.
Another vid entitled "How KATY PERRY 'Was Inspired By' I Mean
COPIED This Song" intrigued me. He's quite a versatile fellow,
operating mixing boards, plays guitar, piano, etc.. I'm going
to check that channel for sure.

Someone made a joke about those kinds of collections, that it
was peculiar that a fan of a particular band or artist who
already has all the material in various separate original CDs or
LPs from over the years, would buy the "complete" set re-issues
decades later.
