Love it. Totally agree about lazy promoters basing their decisions on social media presence rather than musical merit.

How many ‘likes’ does your Facebook page have? What about Instagram?... Twitter?
It seems that for music, content has taken second place over how well a band or musician can market themselves. This suffocates creativity, creates lazy promoters and forces artists to focus on quantity, not quality. If you don’t play the game, there will always be something else…SOMETHING YOUNG at their disposal. This track questions how much listeners are prepared to hear beyond what is presented to them.

Peace & Loving

Something Young
