THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN' ... WHERE ARE THE SONGS?

After the carnage in Charlottesville and amid nuclear jitters, climate concerns, rampant inequality and myriad other issues dividing and frightening the populace, wonderers are wondering where the next great political voice in pop will come from.

Who will write the songs that not only capture the current mood but provide something hopeful to unite around—and maybe even become a way of defining a new movement?

How will this music reach critical mass in this niche-marketed, highly dispersed cultural marketplace? Could Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, SoundCloud and other streaming platforms become the means for the new protest music to reach full flower despite broadcast radio’s traditional resistance to controversy?

Is this new music already rising? You tell us.
