nope, i can honestly report that i have never heard anything by this artist, and don't plan to
as one gets older, and closer to death, one quite naturally starts to jettison things that are not worth the time or effort
listening to pop music bit the dust for me many years ago already

You don't need to listen to the music to like a meat dress.
It's a dress...made of meat. A dress fashioned from meat. Meat shaped like a dress.
A meat dress.

Heh - And Mcrowly said "backhand style". As long as I'm involved, style becomes less meaningful!! It's all about substance - IMO.

Very little in this world is original; that doesn't mean the second, third or Nth time something is done it is boring.
