The music industry needs a revolution. Streaming is not the problem but these record labels.

Are we just gonna ignore how awesome that guy's voice is? It's the first time in my life I wanted the music to stop playing so I could just hear him sing. He's got some amazing pipes!

This is why I don't stop at just listening to the artist on Spotify. If I genuinely like what they do, of course I'd want to own their music in some capacity. I buy the vinyls, I go to the shows, I buy merch, all of that. I'm glad for services like Spotify that allow me to know whether I like an artist or not before I go spending my hardearned money.

I have over 6,000 songs on Apple Music, and I'm proud to say about 96% of them came off CDs.

I’m a musician and songwriter. Thank you so much Trevor for being light to this extremely important issue. Streaming platform is devastating for creators while the executives running the company take the money. And if an artist doesn’t play the Spotify game they suffer in other ways for it. I pray there is an equitable solution in the near future.

Aloe is so talented that he jokingly made a song that could be a hit if he was serious.
