#MUNMUS2011 Canadian superstars who are already established such as Drake or The Weeknd will succeed without their content being pushed. However, we should route for other Canadians struggling to break into the industry and listen to their music!

@SarahLander16 #MUNMUS2011 I agree, with certain songs, stripping the music down to an acoustic cover can bring a whole new life to a song!

#MUNMUS2011 Wald’s assessment applies to some music but not all. A live cover is as good as the musician covering it. Sometimes the cover can be highly enjoyable and comparable to the original. Other times the original is more enjoyable and can’t matched.

#MUNMUS2011 When music is covered properly, the original intention of the track remains. But to sacrifice the artist's intention to appeal to a particular audience and claim ownership over something that doesn't belong to you, that is cultural theft.

#MUNMUS2011 The rise of streaming platforms has made music more accessible. New technology helps shape individual music tastes by collecting data based on what you like and creating custom playlists introducing listeners to music they may not have discovered on their own.

#MUNMUS2011
The media industry has created a "false need" to fill music with lyrics that will appeal to a large audience and a sound that is familiar. Artists who follow a formula to sell keeps listeners passive to marketing ploys that make hit records.
