In this episode, we dive deep into the tension between artistic integrity and commercial success in the digital age. With the rise of social media and streaming platforms, artists today face the challenge of balancing their creative vision with industry expectations. We explore how platforms like TikTok and Instagram influence music production, and how the pressure to stay relevant in an ever-changing landscape often leads to an illusion of authenticity.
We’ll also examine the real cost of success—how industry pressures, from public scrutiny to constant content creation, impact artists’ mental health and creative processes. From major stars like Billie Eilish and FKA twigs, to indie icons like Tame Impala and Mac DeMarco, we’ll discuss how different artists navigate the fine line between staying true to their artistry and achieving commercial success.
