For quite some time, record execs have taken a lot away from the artist. It as never seemed to be ‘about the music.’
They require the artist to produce a set number of albums under their contract before they will let them out. And forget about actually wanting to write music that means a lot to you, the artist! Instead, you basically produce records under guidance from the record execs as to the type of sound they want to market. Once you’re done, all the hard work that went into producing their record (I mean your record) isn’t yours.
Definitely doesn’t sound like they are in it ‘for the music.’ Luckily though, there’s a better way!
Conquer the record labels and free your music!
