Sobre este título
Ways of Listening is a love letter to music, a sharp analysis of our current cultural reality, and a joyful celebration of the artists who keep creating against all odds.
Music occupies a curious place in modern life, somehow omnipresent and disposable at the same time. Computers have democratized song creation. There is more music being produced now than at any point in human history and streaming platforms are the ultimate distribution model for this vast bounty.
But streaming relies on an algorithmic discovery system that guides the user’s choices and encourages them to listen passively to the company’s curation, while also dissuading the listener from searching for music and developing their own taste. Streamers offer meagre royalties to artists on their platforms, largely devaluing music in the public sphere. As Chappell Roan said at the 2025 Grammys, artists can barely afford to live, let alone create. And social media companies have made a whole generation of young listeners perceive music as merely background noise for content.
It all adds up to a bleak landscape for the true fan, but there’s another way. Pemberton delves deep into his own discovery process to present a gentle reminder of another path for the contemporary music lover. He interrogates the obsession with the “mysterious artist” archetype, the magic of demo recordings, the racial disparity in the remastering of music, AI’s struggle to understand Italo disco’s strange balance of classic and cringe, what someone really means when they say they don’t like the Beatles, and more.
