Make me think about what? I want to listen to good music and don't give a diddly damn if it came from an X or a Y chromosome.
Is it because there are fewer women songwriters? Is songwriting mostly dominated by a few superstars? Is it because women write specific kinds of songs?
Lots of follow-ups I'm curious about. Just out of idle curiosity, not because of some war waging. Obviously the website does have some strange things like "Women only get to write x% of songs". We're in an incredibly democratized era for music so they can write and have someone perform whatever they want and put it on Spotify.
Discoverability is a problem, and I miss Amie.st that rewarded you for being early to recommend a good song.
I, for one, thought it was interesting. I like listening to good music too, and I wonder if I would be able to listen to more good music if more women were able to break into the professional music-making industry.
Simply informing me that women don’t write many top hits, by itself, is sorta like… “Ight, and?”
But you are correct. Perhaps I’m projecting a bit in my reflection here. I guess I just wanted to article to be more actionable if it was committed to being whiny.
