Music industry is getting very scared. They never adapted to the changing market and now that moves like this are happening it’s taking the power away from them. Now more then ever artist don’t need record labels and the shift in power is IMO sensational. Power to the artist.
'the music industry' like they are God... fuck the music industry!
