Lauren Babic & Red Handed Denial Tackle Tik Tok & Internet's Current Impact on Music in New Album

Technology has massively changed how musicians operate. Long gone are the days of just making the best music. Musicians need to have a brand, create music that is going to have a viral moment, ensure they have popularity on social media, and up to date on the latest trends.

But is that new relationship with technology hurting musicians creatively going forward? One band explored that frustration on their brand new album, and it comes from someone who has always been on the forefront of the social media landscape for music.

The one and only Lauren Babic of Red Handed Denial joins the Chord Progression Podcast to dive deep into the themes and sounds on the new album A Journey Through Virtual Dystopia (May 24th). On this episode, we get into it conversing about:

– How technology’s evolution and the prominence of Tik Tok have changed music creation, focusing on viral moments and what is popular.

– Why so many musicians are feeling burnt out thanks to reels, trying to stay on top of trends, and dealing with an identity crisis as they now have to do everything.

– A dive into A Journey Through Virtual Dystopia, and how Red Handed Denial took a lot of chances to rediscover their identity in the Tik Tok age.
