From music’s long and complex history, was can gather an idea as to where the business of music is heading towards. ‘The Suits’ are always working diligently to garner large market shares in the industry, done by seeking target genres so as to accommodate a particular audience. Due to the amount of companies in the industry, heightened competition has stressed the importance of music research and targeted marketing so that a company may gain a competitive advantage over its competitors. This in turn places great importance on who makes the key decisions for recording, distributing, and promoting the music: In essence, the music industry has become and most definitely is a big business-Even if it is all about entertainment.
Music is also progressing in artistic and even political statements, though it doesn’t quite occur often… Artists have taken political stands and shown their personal views and beliefs in their music, spanning many various topics and issues. Artists illustrate their positions regarding from a presidential administration’s actions/visions, laws or regulations, to current trends or concerns such as violent influences from media forms or inhumane acts committed by a particular group. In general, artists are able to literally express and relay onto others what they feel through the very lyrics in their music-almost like a personal insight into the artist.
Mike Good JOB on the blog, I definatly agree when you say music is progressing in political statements. Just this prior election i could name 10 songs off the top of my head that talks about the new president. I could only imagine what will be coming out in 2012. Keep up the good work mike, like what you got going on. :)
