Music News, Music Business News, Music Industry News

The latest episode of Music Biz News tackles rebranding, apps aligning themselves with music, and the continuing success of music’s new star.

The music business is a fast-moving train that never stops. Each week, hundreds of new developments occur throughout the industry that drastically reshapes the business of music as we know it. Sometimes these events result from months or even years of careful planning, but other times, it feels as if fate herself is forcing change.

We realize no one is able to keep up with every development in music week to week, which is why we decided to create a new web series called Music Biz News. Every Friday, host James Shotwell breaks down the biggest stories from the world of music in a matter of minutes. Our goal is to provide you with everything you need to know about emerging trends and popular topics, along with just enough commentary to help you discuss the week’s biggest headlines with your friends and coworkers.

On this week’s episode of Music Biz News, host James Shotwell explains the recent rebranding of Warner Bros. Records to Warner Records, examines Tinder’s new approach to aligning itself with the music business, and take an in-depth look at the continuing success of “Old Town Road” hitmaker Lil Nas X.
