Great video. Leon has been around for a few years now and I am waiting for the breakthrough. That is, many people have simply not heard of him. He reminds me of a modern day Sam Cooke. I saw him about 5 years ago at the Beacon Theater in NY. When he puts the guitar down, he is a very dynamic performer. Check out his latest EP with Khraungbin --Texas Moon.
Is Old Music Killing New Music?
I ran across this Atlantic magazine article on another music forum. It asks the question if old music is killing new music. I didn't realize that older music represents 70% of the music market according to this article. I know I use Qobuz and Tidal to find new music and new artists for my collection, but I don't know how common that actually is for most people. I think that a lot of people that listen to services like Spotify and Apple Music probably don't keep track of what the algorithms are queuing up in their playlists. Perhaps it's all becoming elevator music.
