Lol. The guys in Daughtry's own band can't even get songs on the record. The record company dictates everything. Daughtry travels around writing with songwriting team after songwriting team. And guys scramble to be in that list selected by the record company. All of the writing of course is done for free hoping to land a track. And RCA was super specific on how they wanted him to change direction on this last album. I know guys in the band and I couldn't even understand what his new sound or format was, that's the problem when you start getting too formulaic and are "trying" to sound like "something".
I always liked the original Chris, even if it was a little over the top, he epitomized that genre well and you couldn't help singing along to some of those ballads. Most guys in record companies are the same idiots who own nightclubs, or boutique vodkas, or marketing companies, or some sort of silly startup, or fashion line. They are your local hustlers and entrepreneurs who know what jeans people in the neighborhood are wearing, what music kids are dancing to, what people will spend their money on. Russell Simmons to Clive Davis have this simple skill. Once you try to add too much science over the top of it, the whole thing veers off course like a bad IPO.

"This is how it works: these are the chords you can use in the summer, these are the chords you can use in the winter, here are the topics that sell…"
"Really?"
"Oh my God, dude, it’s a formula."
"I’m sure it is, I just didn’t realize it was that rigid."
"Neither did I."
Insert vulgar rant here.
