Video Summary
AI GeneratedHosts Charles Latibodiere and Eric Colley analyze the dynamics of modern music discovery, contrasting the volatility of viral TikTok success with long-term career sustainability. They examine various artists who have navigated these paths, discussing the roles of social media strategy, synchronization in film, and the psychological connection between listeners and music.
Welcome to Get to the Hook. I am your co-host Charles Latibodiere.
And I am your co-host Eric Colley.
And this week the hook is music. And you go, wait a second.
It always is.
It's always music. No. New music.
Actual, new, and dare I say, good new music.
I'm putting that qualifier on because all too often
I think new music gets a bad rap, at least for me.
Certain people over a certain age.
Over a certain age, I feel like new music doesn't have some
of the things that older music has.
I mean, yes, people are still releasing music, but something's changed.
Even a lot of younger people think that.
That's why you see this surge in older songs.
Like, Gen Z's listening to a lot of 70s, 80s, 90s music now.
Right.
But there are new artists who are putting out some good music,
and they are getting some recognition for it.
They're going viral.
Exactly.
So here's what you're going to get on this episode.
by the end of this episode either you know these songs
and you're going to be like oh cool they're
talking about that artist because they're going like all right
these old guys are going to talk
about some old music no new music today music young artists
or if you don't know this you are
going to learn some of the new artists
and maybe even hear something that you love so you have to
like at least one of these songs there's something
that you'll i think you're going to like multiple
but there's all these artists who are going viral
now we're going to talk about a handful of them
today so you get to know who they are because
when a song is viral sometimes you just you hear it
on a video on TikTok or Instagram
or wherever you're watching it and maybe you look and see
who the song is maybe you shazam it if you hear it out somewhere
but you still don't always know
who the person is why this song is viral what you're listening to right
and not that that makes
the music better or worse
but i think it does help sometimes to associate who's making the music
yeah and why for sure and why are people listening to it
so we're going to start with a big one right
now she's got two songs that have gone viral kind
of like somber did last year where one takes off
then immediately another one takes off
that's how you build a career talking about adela who is
adela and why is she robbing someone else's name well first
her name is her actual name her name
is adela jargova she was born in 2003
and given names yeah back off people stop saying she's just
trying to ride adele's coattails well it's apparently
a fairly common name in her native
slovakia well there you go yeah she's born
in bratislava second did adele rob because adele's
not from slovakia no but adele was born in the 80s
and whatever this adela was born in 2003 so
right adele did have it first
but uh she's did has this song right now you've maybe you've probably
heard this it's actually not just gone viral it
is now top 10 on the hot 100 it is blown up this
is nicole kidman so that song
is already huge probably going
to get bigger as more people
discover this is a thing by the way right
this is figuring out a way you pick someone's name in pop
culture and then build
a song around it it immediately draws some attention always but the
thing is that song is not the one that was meant
to go viral it's the second one we're going to do
this little little reverse here but first
who is Adela where did she come from what how did how did
this pink-haired woman wind up owning the charts here
as i said she was born in Slovakia in 2003
she trained in ballet she was wanted to be a dancer as a child
and then she got into singing
got into music and she discovered her first really big pop star
when she was a child from tv and it
is also how she started to learn english
was from this show all right uh feeling old in three two
Hannah Montana.
She watched Hannah Montana as a child
and just became fascinated by the idea of pop stars.
She loves Miley Cyrus.
I was already old when Hannah Montana actually came out,
so she's learning from, okay, yeah.
You might not know this.
I know this from my nieces.
When that era of Disney Channel, like 2000s,
do you remember they used to have the stars,
had like a magic wand, I think,
and they would make the D logo for Disney?
Was that the bubble?
Yeah, that kind of thing.
She said that in Slovakia,
she would go out in the woods and find sticks
and practice drawing the D
because she's like i'm going
to be a disney pop star like she wanted that so bad as a kid
in 2022 she moved to the u.s moved to los angeles
and within a year was competing on the youtube
show dream academy which was where a bunch
of girls got together to fight to be members of a
group that would be put together at the end
when you say fight well compete all right okay like
american idol right and at the end they became KATSEYE
who are incredibly successful okay
so adela was on the show and could have been in KATSEYE
but she was eliminated in the first
round of eliminations see what do they know what
do they know what do they know so she started
releasing her own songs she put them online she got
the attention of Grimes who was a very avant
garde weird pop artist and of course has kids
with Elon Musk after that she signed with Capitol
Records released her debut EP in 2025 opened
for Demi Lovato old school way of yeah building your
reputation exactly so in September
of this year just very recently she released her debut album
Prima which already debuted in the top five
and the song that was meant to be the big hit single
and took off viral first is a song about
her experience of moving from Slovakia to Los Angeles
failing on Dream Academy and then realizing you don't have
to move to LA to make your dreams come
true you can just go online and do it
so the song is about how i think the chorus is the baddest
bitches ain't in LA and that's
the song this is ain't in LA which
is kind of funny because she
recently performed at the Fonda here in Los Angeles
and when that song she did that song
she had to be like okay guys like i'm sorry
but before we get started it's not personal
it wasn't it wasn't a dig on LA but i get
her point saying that you you can be great wherever
you are you don't have to follow somebody else's pattern
which is oddly funny because that's what
she did, she did move to LA, but she did make
her own thing, nobody in the crowd minded, I don't think
they cared, and also very cool, do you know
who was in the audience at her concert here, uh, would it
be Hannah Montana? It was the members
of Katseye, oh wow, she shouts out her girls and she's like
it's all love, nice, so no resentment between them
and her, which is really cool, so 'Ain't in LA', I like
to see when, uh, people go on these competition shows
and they don't win, but they get enough
exposure that there's something there for them
to show somebody else in the industry, yeah, and then
they get a start, she, I mean, what happened all
the time on American Idol, usually the person who won
was not the breakout star of that season, which is funny, you say
that because we are going to talk about
somebody who got eliminated early on on American Idol in a little bit
and look at them now, and look
at them now, more successful than whoever beat
them, I don't even know who won, I'm being honest
but 'Ain't in LA' was the big song they
were pushing, it did go viral, it took off, people were already
interested in her because of Dream Academy, she had
her fans she'd gotten from that show, and then
from opening for Demi Lovato, from doing performances
from putting her songs online, it's just one of
those perfect storms where she just needed the right song
and that was 'Ain't in LA', it went viral
took off shot into the top 40
and then immediately Nicole Kidman took off and so now she's got two
songs in the top 30 Nicole Kidman's gone top 10
and she explains where that song came from because
like you said you can just name it after celebrity
but there was a specific reason that she had
watched Eyes Wide Shut of all movies oh god
and then she she was invited to a Golden Globes party
and she had this really tight corset
on and she said just walking through there she felt like the
celebrity and maybe the corset
and Eyes Wide Shut she was i just i felt like Nicole Kidman like i
felt like a star that night
and so she just wrote this song about kind of feeling yourself yeah and
Nicole Kidman's the one that she wanted to feel like
and Nicole Kidman was asked if she knew about
this song and she was oh yes i love it
and when Nicole Kidman made her very first TikTok post
recently the song she'd soundtracked it
with was not Nicole Kidman it was Ain't in LA oh so
sort of like uh doing Adela a favor like pumping up kind
of and then she posted a video from Paris
Fashion Week of herself Kristen Wiig Pedro Pascal
and Dua Lipa lip-syncing to the song so Nicole
Kidman is a fan of Adele and Adele is a fan
of Nicole Kidman it was Nicole Kidman's way of
affirming that all the baddest bitches aren't
in LA because Nicole Kidman's not from LA
yeah does she even live here now no she lives in Nashville yeah
so there you go also that I'm sure
Nicole Kidman loves that that elevates her to I mean
not that she's not already iconic of course
I mean she's Nicole Kidman but when you become
a different audience to a person born in Slovakia
in 2003 when your mere name is shorthand for cool right
that's that's pretty cool that no matter how
many Oscars you've got and how many AMC spots you
do that's gonna make you feel and don't forget
Lioness is Nicole Kidman. You watch Lion, don't watch Lioness, oh come
on Eric, you're missing out you
can't watch everything that's true you can't
but you should watch that one Nicole Kidman is badass
all right but Adela I think if anybody can have a viral hit
and it comes and it goes and it's
maybe it's big for a couple weeks and drops off
and then just the person's forgotten but if you're
an artist who has a viral moment you really want
to build your career beyond that moment and I think
Adela by having two songs go viral
and sustain she's breaking out of that now radio starting to
play it people are talking about her they're going
to her shows she's building a career which is great
for her yeah and like I said that's what happened to Sombre last year
because pretty good pretty
good shoes to follow in yeah because Undressed went viral
then back to friends immediately went
viral those two songs were kind of over top of each other
then 12 to 12 and then he was just
off and running yeah Taylor Swift said she loved him
did you see Sombre had two sold-out shows
down in Orange County last weekend no yeah
and apparently he brought out Lindsey Buckingham
oh wow to sing Go Your Own Way
That is so cool yeah see we got some old people in here yeah
we worked in a little old but it was young and old
but i told you i saw Sombre last year in concert
and when i bought the tickets he was at this tiny little venue
and before we could see it they sent
us an email saying you can get a refund if you want
but we've had to move him to a bigger venue
and he was playing in downtown Los Angeles
so we wound up going and it was great yeah well we'll
never see him in this small of a venue again he's
at the Honda Center wow yeah this next artist is
going viral and this one sounds weird
because she's not a new artist she is in her early 30s
she's been around for over a decade she already has
a song with over a billion streams but that
that's over time it's not quite the same as having
a breakout superstar moment sure i'm talking about
the singer Ash A-S-H-E uh she's been like i said
in the industry for over a decade now she was
singing demos in Nashville she wrote a song for Demi Lovato
who keeps coming up today for some
reason um she had some minor viral hits in 2017
and then because of that Vevo you know they used
to post all the artist videos on YouTube in 2018 flagged
her as an artist to watch alongside Lewis
Capaldi and Billie Eilish so she was part of that class of singers
and then 2019 she had a song
called Moral of the Story
and it was featured
in the 2020 Netflix movie
To All the Boys
P.S. I Still Love You
that's why it wasn't
a huge hit in that moment
but as people watched
this movie
they would listen to the song
the song charted
at number 71
and at this point
after seven years
has over a billion streams
so she did have
that hit
but it's not a song
everybody would know
no but that is
that's really impressive
for a song that
is not
like
a super well known
huge whatever
yeah it just
people just listen to it
for a long time
and people who love it
really love it
which is good for her
because that
again, helps you have an audience,
and you can build beyond that.
Then, funny that she was an artist to watch
beside Billie Eilish,
she became pals with Phineas,
Billie's brother, co-writer, co-producer,
and Phineas and Ash started a duo called The Favors,
who, again, not hugely commercially successful,
but the fans of The Favors really loved it
and really loved her.
So now Ash has her fourth solo album coming out
this week, I believe,
and she's been opening for Kelseya Ballerini,
Gracie Abrams, Benson Boone.
So she has been putting the work in. And like I said before,
when you have that opportunity,
when you have enough people's attention, you've got to have
the right song. And she has found that song.
It is blowing up right now. Top 20 on Spotify. I love
this song.
It's called Stop the Wedding.
Also, she's really pretty.
I mean, yeah, it doesn't
hurt. Unrelated, but she's very pretty.
It doesn't hurt. It doesn't help the marketing.
Doesn't hurt the marketing. It's a super catchy song
and it's gone viral because people use it
videos to talk about red flags and relationships
and the song is about literally stopping a wedding
but it's it's literal and metaphorical
because she is you know burning the dress throwing the
shoes away stop the wedding get out of here
but it's also that idea that when you think you're
so deep in something that you're making
a mistake it's never too late to get out of it because how
many people do you know know they shouldn't get married
but they're like well the invitations are
out the venue's booked I have to do it now even
though you know it's a mistake so it's never too
late to fix things and help yourself um she
um yeah she's i hadn't i'd heard the name i'd heard
that song but i hadn't actually seen the video yeah
and you're right now you're in you're right
no no it definitely helps it helps the marketing
the video is really cool too it is a like a real
video with a story and there's
and again like what's it doesn't sound like everything else
like it's its own it is there's something
a little 80s about it there's not it's a little
bit i feel like every once in a while like maybe once
a generation or so you get a song like that
that's kind of bouncy singer-songwriter yeah uh fight song
by Rachel Platten or Chuck's in Love
by Ricky Lee Jones back in the 70s you get
that sort of even kind of like a Vanessa Carlton
thousand miles where it's this yeah piano driven hooky pop song
a little melancholy and it just
you need those sometimes yeah and i think she's got one right now
and it's very catchy and it's
really connecting with people it's got melody it has melody
the thing that's actually missing from
a lot of new music see that's what's
this is great we're all coming together kids are figuring out
how to make better music i mean i've got i've got
a vibey hit coming up for you i know you love i
love vibes yeah i love that but but first i want
to talk about another song that this one i like
the song i'm rooting for this artist it sounds
a little bit too similar to me to a huge hit from
this year talking about a guy named Jamie Miller he's
a welsh singer born in 1997 and another
reality show guy he was on The Voice UK in 2017
and came in third he did pretty well okay so he
got a deal with Atlantic opened for Jesse McCartney kind
of plugged along had some hits in the UK
never quite broke out the way he wanted to right
and so he left Atlantic in 2023 signed with new
management and he was kind of as of last year was like am i done
because it's been it's been almost
10 years since he was on The Voice
and he hasn't really blown up the way he wanted to so he thought
i'm gonna give it one last chance and give up never give up
and he really kind of seeing this
as his last chance has put
so much effort into making this go viral a lot of times the song
goes viral just sort of accidentally somebody
discovers it yeah they put it with the right
video he made this dance challenge video
and he's posting old school like once a day a different
version of this dance sometimes multiple times
a day with different celebrities he did one with
the Dancing with the Stars cast with Derek
and Julianne Hough he's done it with Jennifer
Love Hewitt Lucy Hale Meghan Trainor Jesse
McCartney he's done it uh opening dates for
the Jonas Brothers he is like making this thing go viral
but it's connecting because people are
kind of rooting for him his voice is kind
of a Bruno Marsy sound the song before he played the
song's called Baby Doll, which not similar to the Dominic Fike song
which is also called Baby Doll
right now but it sounds an awful lot to me, not not the exact notes
but just the vibe right to
Olivia Dean's Man I Need, this is Jamie Miller's Baby Doll
you hear it now don't you, i definitely
hear it, it's definitely there kind
of breezy little
british pop song whenever i hear that then i start thinking
is it the same producer, did any of the
same songwriters work on it, i don't know it does
sound like it almost, i'd say it sounds like they
were going for that sound
and knowing that he really like was kind of putting all his eggs in
this basket for this song
because i think if this hadn't taken off at all he might have given up
yeah because he said like he was like calling
his mom kind of crying like, "is my dream dead?"
yeah which is sad, i don't want that for anybody
and he is talented, he has a great voice but he's
very charming, he likes to do his little dances
and does his videos with people, his fans had a
campaign to get that song featured on the show Off Campus
and it never made the soundtrack or
anything but one of the stars
of Off Campus, uh Antonio Cipriano did the viral dance video with
him and then because it's just like it's
a cool little shuffle side step twirly thing a couple
absolutely not um but nick is also
a singer i'm sorry uh antonio uh cipriano is also a singer
so now they've done a duet version
of the song where antonio sings the second verse right get
a little bit more traction get those off-campus fans in there
and it's working for him the song
is debuted on the hot 100 now the virality
is sustaining the dances are still going
jonas brothers fans have now discovered it olivia
dean song has finally kind of faded a bit so he
can swoop in there and take it swoop in and take
this oh here's the here's the dance i mean it's
it seems almost doable all right charles let's
see you try now here we go oh there's a little
drop step no you're you're gonna you're gonna break
a hip you're gonna blow your knee out don't
do it and it's not even that hard yes but yeah
so he's posting is a better part of valor variations
of this oh yeah that's what derek and julian hoff were watching
but almost every day he's posting
some version of this and it's he's willed
this into being a massive hit there's uh when he's
got his shades on there yeah looks um looks
a little robin thicke does look a little robin
thicke kind of got that vibe very much
which i don't know if he wants that no probably not
probably doesn't but i'm sure he wouldn't mind having
a song as big as Blurred Lines, right
or even Man I Need and it looks like it's working
for him it's not often you see people figure out
how to make a song go viral.
Like I said,
it usually happens by accident,
but he wanted this.
He's got,
I would imagine
that's some people
on his team, right?
That what you gotta do
is you gotta go viral somehow.
Yeah.
You gotta dance.
I don't know,
I guess I could just
do some things
and we'll do it.
Hey, let's bring in
some professional dancers
to do it with you.
Yeah.
And make it look cool.
It's working for him.
Hey, it works.
Use Your Illusion, man.
And like I said,
it is a little similar
to Man I Need to me,
but that's a great song
so i'm i can take at least one knock off of that yes so i don't mind
this song quote unquote imitation
is the greatest sincere form of flattery yeah there you go this next
guy is the one i was talking about was on American Idol
in 2022 his name is Cameron Whitcomb and
somehow he's canadian i guess you don't have
to be american for American Idol wait a second we allow
canadians to win American Idol
and even worse is that it's not like he just auditioned for Idol
and got on that would be okay the the producers
for Idol saw him online singing and reached out
to him and said you should audition oh i know they
do that yeah that's the thing they do but
they're not even american that's that's the thing they
do because they're looking for talent they're
stacking the they're stacking the auditions
these canadian artists they'll take anyone you know it's
like american as in north
or south yeah north american western hemisphere really anybody
western hemisphere north american idol south
american idol what it will take yeah he was
born in 2003 in british columbia was on idol in 2022
and made it to the top 20 so he got fairly
far but he got eliminated before getting
into the top 20 he's good top 20s um definitely long
enough to get some attention but again as you
were saying earlier i didn't even bother to look up who
won american idol that year because i don't think
it matters i don't know it doesn't if if we needed
to know we would know yeah i'm pretty sure cameron
whitcomb's already doing better so he signed a
deal with atlantic records after
that and in canada had a huge hit with a song called
quitter and then that song
was about addiction issues he had since he was 12 wow i think he was
working on a pipeline in canada again he's only 23
at 12 no but in his later teens he'd already
he'd already lived a lot of life
and what are they doing up in alaska they're working
in canada i don't i think it's whatever runs
through right some some something no i don't
know what Canadian labor laws well i don't think he was 12
but probably in his late teens maybe 20
okay well there's a big difference
but if he had a you have a rough life if you have addiction
issues by 12 and then you're working a job
a very demanding physical job yeah by your late teens
so this guy knows he's had kind of a rough life
and that song connected with people he became
the very first ever American Idol contestant to win a Juno Award
which is like the Canadian
Grammys and before you think like how did Kelly Clarkson
not win because the Junos are for
Canadian artists and i don't know oh i see how it
is Canada now i know why we have this trade war
i think they do have international artists oh
so our our artists can't come over the border and
and and win a Juno but you want
to have Canadians winning American Idol oh and and Grammys give me
a tariff right now all right Celine Dion
and Alanis Morissette and Bryan Adams give back those
Grammys Nickelback i don't think they ever got
a Grammy it's fine it's fine i don't we complain
enough about the Grammys do we need another award show
not at all not at all i don't i don't damn
these Junos hey no no no that was your Canadian accent oh sure
was putting on Canadian face over
here that's offensive love you canada um but so he he made
a name for himself in his native Canada
and then this song that's gone viral in the U.S. now
was huge there went top five in Canada and
now people are really connecting with it
because this guy as i said with the song Quitter about his
addiction issues he writes about things that are personal to him
but he found a way to make this
one more universal and it's about having like being
in a really dark place with your mental
health but just pretending that you're fine
and just acting like everything's okay when you're
absolutely not at all which i think is relatable
to a lot of people most people yeah so this song
has really caught on and this is
called Kingdom of Fear what you
seem you're making you're making a
weird face not my not my favorite it is the the it's
a little derivative of what do they call
that stomp clap hey yes exactly that is what
a lot of people have said and that's partly why
maybe it's taken off is one the people relating to the lyrics
but now you have this nostalgia
for the early 2010s and that era of Mumford
and Sons and the Lumineers and all that and that has
already come back because of Noah Kahan
and he's a huge huge star right now so i think that helps
that people who love Noah Kahan didn't hear
this song like hey that's more of that stuff i like
i don't know why we're getting a revival of stomp clap hey
but but we are that stompy folk music
Stomp, clap, hey
Stomp your feet, clap your hands, hey
Remember all the Hey Ho by the Lumineers
All those songs were somehow yelling
Stomp, clap, hey
Whatever, it's working for him
And this song is really catching on
And people are connecting to it
More stomp, clap, hey
Alright, we're probably gonna be done without it
But that's alright, good for him
Listen, unless every song is gonna be that
I don't think that's where we're going
I don't think so
Nah
you wouldn't
no
you gotta switch it up
yeah
you gotta switch it up a bit
this last one I'm gonna talk about
I love this one
it's fascinating to me
because the song
has gone viral
and like we said
with Jamie Miller
he just put his face
out there
everywhere on social media
posting videos
constantly to be seen
people know everything
about him
Cameron Whitcomb
he was on American Idol
Adela was on this
YouTube show
Ash was with Phineas
they're very
public faces
is how they go viral
people know everything
about them
that's how you do
social media
right
This next guy is so private,
I don't even know his real name
or exactly how old he is.
So you're not, listen very carefully
and then you're going to have to go to AI
and describe the song, I guess, to get this.
We know his artist name.
His real name is maybe William or Bill.
We don't know.
He's 19 or 20.
He's from Ohio.
He goes by the name.
Is he out of witness protection?
I don't know.
And you can see his face.
I'm sure there are people who know he is,
but he's very private.
And it's really weird to see that.
But I think that might help with this is good old fashioned mystery.
People loved artists who were enigmas
when you didn't know everything about them, when
they didn't do interviews all the time, when they weren't everywhere.
The more you didn't know, the more you wanted to know.
And I think that's maybe helped this a bit.
His nickname is Gutta, G-H-U-T-T-A, but his rap name is Come Help Glow.
All one word, all lowercase.
Okay, what's the explanation for that?
I don't know.
the song is called
Ansra
O-N-S-R-A
but it is really
taken off on TikTok
and it's sort of like
emo
SoundCloud
throwback rap
but I do like it
this is Ansra
maybe a
little
Mac Miller-y
vibes-ish
a little bit
it's also weird
that was decent
I like that
I like that song
There's something to it
And it is really
Catching on with people
It's gone viral
Just because people
Like the song
Where is this one
Getting its from
Where is it
It's virality
Coming from
Is it
Is it on a show
Or
I think people
Just put it in videos
On TikTok
And other people
Heard it and like
Hey what is this
I like it
It's completely
Just like organically
Happened
YouTube has now
Highlighted him
As a trending artist
On the rise
The song recently
Debuted on the Hot 100
At 92
As of now
It's gotten up
To number 68
Wow
It's quite a leap
Yeah it's a song catching on with people and and i've
also this make again to feel really old as
Cameron Whitcomb is nostalgia for 2010s stomp clap hey
this is a little bit of nostalgia for
that mid 2010s SoundCloud rap era yeah i'm like oh god it's
so old you're right the rap sounds
like that but it's not a trap beat
so it's a little bit it's got some trappy elements but
there's it's working in that emo kind of angle to it
but so i was working for him but does he do
interviews now do we find out
who he is i'm sure i'm sure there are people who know but it's not
yeah if you google him it doesn't just come up
right away everything about him like it does
almost every other person on the planet maybe he just wants
to be low-key and then you wondered
for people like that where the song sort
of incidentally goes viral do they want to be
famous and want to be pop stars in that sense
because you have some like these other people
who went on reality shows they they open
for other artists they tour with
these big people yeah it's clear what their there's
a desire to get their agenda is yes if
you just make music in your bedroom
because you like doing it maybe play some shows for some
friends locally or something
and then suddenly millions of people are listening to you it is
like winning a lottery where suddenly all
this yeah has come on to you that you were not prepared
for for him yeah really good you know
and especially to have a song go viral when you
don't have a big like we were saying before like a dance right
or a good tv show or something that
it's on it like that for a while was how i discovered
a lot of whatever new music i did
discover is like if it played even just in the credits
of a tv show oh i'm shazamming shows all
the time now like oh what is this what is this what
is this most often what i use shazam for
yeah tv show there's a song playing like what
is that or sometimes in our bathroom um yeah music
pumping in there and i don't know what
the hell Tony's playing today, our music guy, yeah um but
yeah that's that's that's great that he's without
that push it's still going viral so and that
happens sometimes, you these songs will just pop out
because people hear it and just go oh i like
that because that's i think the equivalent
of what radio used to be or MTV where you could reach a
lot of people with a song you discover it
that way i mean think of how many songs you first heard on
the radio or saw the video on MTV or something
and now you're just watching a TikTok video and
there's a song playing in the background
and you're like wait what was that it'll catch your
attention that's what's different to me i've
been was thinking about as we were looking at the
clips of the new artists that we were going to play
and i do like the majority of those songs
and i think there's some really talented artists there
so this is not a slight to them it's more
of an explanation as to why, think about why i don't listen
to as much new music and i think
a lot of people are fall in this category i can listen
to like i could go to a uh a playlist that
says like new music like here are some new artists
or i can listen to on SiriusXM like
the station that plays current top 40 right
the reason i don't is because i stopped living it's
true like the songs that i'm attached to now the songs
that i that i play over and over the artists
because i was doing things in life i was going out to parties
and i would hear these songs and so
you attach those songs to experiences to memories to good
and bad it's easy to go back to those
songs so they remind you of something
that is remarkable in your life for whatever reason and
a good song can enhance a moment yes
and the moment can enhance the song and it's just you
bond with it that way but when it's just next song
on a playlist in your car when you're sitting
you know in your commute in the morning it's right it's harder
so if i were out doing things
and people were playing these new songs i would attach that new music
and i guess that's really
what i'm saying is that the new music i
do discover it is because i'm it's on a show or a
movie that i watched that i probably like
and i go like all right so now i've attached it to that
and because whatever the moment in the show
is if it's an emotional moment or whatever
now the song is oh this is like triumphant oh
this is sad this is whatever you feel the emotion
you have some emotion to attach to it right
and i guess it's so it's not about the music it's me
you gotta live music it's me i gotta live gotta get out
and do more and it's real easy just to
put on the songs you know you already have
a relationship with when you do go out so no
listen to some new stuff you'll connect
with it i'll try i'll try i'm not gonna make any
promise all right i was gonna make a promise i'm gonna
be like all right i'm gonna do it and i
realize i'm probably not and i'm not gonna
but you know listen i like i like this i get bits and
pieces some new music here occasionally go
to a music festival you run into a usually what happens
is i'll go to a festival for an older artist that i know
and that i really wanted but there are
people lower on the bill that i'll listen
to and go like oh they were pretty good yeah yeah so again
that was me getting out and living right i
do that but a lot of people don't admit i stopped living
so they just want to be like music sucks i mean some
of it does i'm willing some of it always has
i've stopped or i've slowed down
my living i wouldn't say stopped all completely but
definitely slowed down oh it's all right
but you find some music to slow down with well listen we
brought you some new music here
and uh we should you know i'm glad we do this every now and then
because it's a good reminder there's some quality music out there
and some interesting artists
people you know that's the the method
of it changes like there wasn't viral tiktok stuff
and youtube shows decades ago
but it's still young people with talent and drive and ambition
and desire
and they just
want to be heard
so listen to them
give them a listen
that is going to
do it for us
we'll see you next
time on Get to the Hook
