🎼 OPENING SALVO From the get go, the album format was a given. Love its freedom, limitations & scope.
All 12 songs, 45min 11sec of it... 💫 *
Synchronicity zips by this article (1) reminding us that popularity is relevant to business, not always to music.
Drum roll, circus money... Listen to ‘these guys’ (pronounced as Christopher Walken) in the first tune of their album ‘Another Better’. EAR it 4... ‘With All Due Respect’ !!!

(1) Iconic music albums are remembered as immersive Hero’s Journeys, taking you away from your daily life onto an uncertain path of discovery. You crossed foreign lands, confronted strange new customs and questioned your beliefs. Masterful albums landed you back home an enlighten and well-traveled listener.
Of course, few albums achieved this height. Admittedly many were simply bundles enabling the sale of lesser songs with the help of a hit or two.
In the streaming age the concept of albums and EPs truly seem like relics of the past.
Since albums don’t sell much anymore there seems to be little sense in making them.
The usage statistics are clear, virtually no one sits down and streams whole albums of unknown artists. You will get only a few seconds of attention from listeners, so make them count on your best song.
If you have a great song that captures the zeitgeist of the summer, why not publish it now for streaming? This way you will get the precious feedback you need to develop your art. You will also learn the difficult business of getting listened to. A success will invigorate you and fire up your creativity. Most importantly, you will wisely take advantage of an opportunity that may not present itself again.
Can you really demand that serendipity accommodate your future plans? Publish now and create fans.
