Massive Attack seemed to change a lot with 2010 Heligoland.  Supposedly, they were going back to working with Tricky and recorded some tracks which leaves me really hopeful.  This year, it came up that they were now working with Run the Jewels...so all promising.

Taylor Swift

Then - Pop country targeted towards upper-middle class tween girls

Now - Pop targeted towards upper-middle class girls in their late teens/entering college

She lost her way.

Thankfully the goat remixes with Dubstep are still hilarious though. Otherwise her acoustic performances are your only consolation.

Talk Talk changed styles starting from spirit of eden

LOL, this could not be more understated, they veered from off the shelf New Wave/Romantic shit to what can possibly only be labeled as 'Later stages Talk Talk'. 'Post-Rock' doesn't really say much.

I have to say that most of the responses have people who changed styles to further their career.

My original question was (to summarize now) - artists who have changed style for artistic reasons.

Miles Davis, The Beatles, Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell were long past worrying about their careers - the world followed them.

Yes, there are plenty of Alanis Morrisette's who made career moves by changing genres, but there is no point to making a list of those.

( But all the posts are interesting anyway! )
