Laura Mulvey

I think what Laura mulvey was trying to say is that we live in a world were there is sexual imbalance between male and female. the pleasure of looking at the physical body has been split between men and woman, the male gaze creates fanatises on the female figure which was styled for that purpose. the female's sexiness may have nothing to do with the product/song but draws attention from both sex.

There are some particular genres of music that this may be specific to, for example hip hop, R&B and pop

 

 

However there are some artists that challenge Mulveys theory
