About this event

55. Rollie Pemberton: Ways of Listening

The internet has made music simultaneously omnipresent and disposable. There is more music being produced now than at any point in human history, and streaming platforms are the ultimate distribution model—yet algorithms and social media platforms have reduced music to background noise, dissuading listeners from developing their own taste, all while artist royalties plummet. In Ways of Listening: Building a Deeper Relationship with Music in the Streaming Era, acclaimed author Rollie Pemberton—AKA Cadence Weapon, Polaris Prize-winning rapper and producer—outlines a path forward for the contemporary music lover. In a lively conversation with Elamin Abdelmahmoud, he’ll dissect our current musical landscape, from Charli xcx’s groundbreaking Brat album rollout to AI’s struggle to understand what makes a song popular.
