i'm old school, analogue in a digital world, back in my day, i could go to a newsagents, and lift a magazine of the shelf and have a flick through, if i liked and was interested, i could buy it, if not back on the shelf it went.
as a car guy, i would want a full in depth test drive to get to know the product before i hand over hard earned cash, that might be influenced by product reviews and knowledge of the manufacturers previous models.
then we had songs on radio, and performances on tv, all great samples as such, to hook a listener.
but with a new performer to the market, i think it may be madness to rely on the tried and tested methods of 20 or 30 years ago, the ed sheerans and biebers of this world would have got nowhere without the exposure of the internet
and for the record, i haven't heard any of tyce's album
i don't do long posts, i do random drunk thoughts, and that post took a longgggggg time to piece together lol

CD stores used to have listening stations. Bookstores now are coffee shops where you can actually sit and read printed material offered for sale. If you buy a book it is practically a used book. It is what it is. I shouldn't have listened to it and I didn't keep it. Had I wanted to keep it I would have purchased it. I wanted to purchase 2 tracks as a legal sample but I don't have an Apple phone any more (
see my earlier posts). I'm not sure how an unknown artist is going to ever be known today, I just won't buy anything by anyone I don't know and have not heard in the future.
Listening to it online was wrong.
