I disagree. This was just an example, forget Rhianna for the moment. New songwriter's as talented as Adele, all the way to Pink, Avril Lavigne, Taylor Swift and even Madonna and many many more, all heavily rely on this song-mill method, some to lesser degree than others. But it
is a prominent method for old and new promising songwriters today. The fact that Stevie has not lowered herself to this is a TRUTH worth praising and acknowledging.
Stevie old songs seem to come out when she wants them to.
Unless we get a full blow-out official bootleg release from Stevie, she will never put out an entire record full of her old gems. Stevie albums are her journals, as such, they are relevant to what she is feeling and going through at the time. Cheaper Than Free obviously has sentimental pull and is relevant for her today. And as much as I LOVE the old demos/outtakes, I'm firstly curious what Stevie has to say at this time in place in her life, as opposed to a
whole album filled with a bunch of old songs derived from another place another time.
