The magic of music is that it can always stick with the artist even after death. With ever-changing trends, we can see music returning as much as years after the artist’s unfortunate passing.
Jeff Buckley is an artist who made a huge impact after his death. He is known for making heart-wrenching music that never made huge numbers until the past few years.
His first and last album, Grace, has hit songs like “Lover, Will You Come Over,” and “Hallelujah.” His songs got a good amount of attention and he made a name for himself early on, but the shift in his music around 2020 was substantial to his name as a musician.
His music started circulating on TikTok around 2022 and became extremely popular. New fans became saddened to know that an artist they recently discovered tragically passed. Buckley died in the Mississippi River in 1997 by drowning.
His reasoning for swimming in the river is still unknown and to this day, fans question his death. Although his death is a mystery, he still lives on through his music touching many hearts.
Another artist who continued releasing music by his label following his death is Mac Miller. Miller is a rapper who made a huge impact on the music industry by creating upbeat songs that are unique but emotional.
His music is well known for talking about relationships and mental health, creating a community for fans. His music about his discovery of love and journey through depression is still being released.
Miller’s death was a tragedy caused by accidentally taking laced drugs, which left fans heartbroken. His legacy and impact continue to stand strong, honoring his name in many ways.
Music is a permanent piece of art that encapsulates different eras flawlessly. Fans of artists who have died never have to worry about losing that piece of the artist they love.
