Useni, The Music Mogul (Part 4) How far does prejudice affect one’s opinion, and to what extent does physical impression re-enforce or debunk our mental representation of a person, object, topic or situation? How come Useni suddenly distastes the same music he admired? For this and more short comics, visit:[https://lnkd.in/dZ4iM__3)

Latest song review from Spotlight Music Review Blog

My favorite Michael Jackson song and music video, since I was very young, has always been Thriller. Since completing this caricature, it has become one of the most recognized caricatures in my portfolio thanks to my tent banners. This was such a fun piece to complete.

Why It Matters

More artists should lean in to creating multiple versions and remixes of songs they believe in. Every time you release a new version or remix, you give your single a new opportunity to reach new listeners and bring awareness to the original song. For example, “FOREVER” by the rotating collective I founded, Vince & The Valholla Empire featuring ADN Lewis has over 10 versions (not including instrumentals) has over 400K on demand streams and a number of versions have been featured on editorial playlists. Every time we release a new version it gets new life. This strategy might not be a fit for every song but you should implement it in one way or another. What is the highest number of versions you’ve released for a song you believed in? #musinbusiness #recordingartists

As promised, this is the full title of the album shown in the video. "The Boy Bands Have Won, and All the Copyists and the Tribute Bands and the TV Talent Show Producers Have Won, If We Allow Our Culture to Be Shaped by Mimicry, Whether from Lack of Ideas or from Exaggerated Respect. You Should Never Try to Freeze Culture. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your Older Brother's Hand-Me-Down Jacket and Re-Style It, Re-Fashion It to the Point Where It Becomes Your Own. But Don't Just Regurgitate Creative History, or Hold Art and Music and Literature as Fixed, Untouchable and Kept Under Glass. The People Who Try to 'Guard* Any Particular Form of Music Are, Like the Copyists and Manufactured Bands, Doing It the Worst Disservice, Because the Only Thing That You Can Do to Music That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own. Because Then It Dies, Then It's Over, Then It's Done, and the Boy Bands Have Won." Safe to say, Silviu was 100% correct when he said it'd take him more than a minute to read it for you.
