Not sure if I totally agree with this. My thought is there will always be a demand for passionate, honest music played with soul and emotion, and packed with intelligent sonic language.

Want some examples of such great human-made music played with passion and skill?
Jump over to the Snarky Puppy thread.

"My thought is there will always be a demand for passionate, honest music played with soul and emotion, and packed with intelligent sonic language."

Indeed.

Demand is certainly relative. We love Americana, blues, blues rock, old school country, bluegrass, classic rock, folk rock, some jazz and more. Almost every day we are exposed via Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube to artists we had never listened to but very much like. And most often these are newer artists. So they survive by being "in demand" albeit it on a lesser scale. I won't go on a "soul and emotion" rant but, yes, that is the key. And frankly one either gets that or they don't. And, no, I am not anti-tech when it comes to music. Heck were it not for well designed algorithms used by the afore mentioned sources we listen to we would not be exposed to these artists. smile FWIW Spotify’s “DJ” absolutely nails the music we enjoy.

BTW Kudos to those who do such amazing work with synth vocals. But to our ears they typically sound like modern pop singers. And if that’s the goal then job well done.
