That's why a lot of artists go to hit-making machinery. They go to people who are songwriters, to other songwriters, other teams, and other producers, to try to make their record so that they do have their best foot forward when they come out. It doesn't necessarily make for an individual's artistic stamp. It takes time to develop things.
In the beginning, you have to be grateful for the opportunity that you can pay your rent and that you can get to the point where you are in control of what you're doing, but at that point you need to be able to take over and let your artistry do the talking.
