One single, one album, one look BTS | 6.18.21

June 18, 2021

đŸ“»  Hi, thanks for tuning in.

The focus of Arpeggio is to provide fresh, curated music as well as data & analysis of the music biz. Curated music is important because, in a world increasingly dominated by streaming companies, there are artists who deserve the spotlight.

In this curated series, Friday Roundup, I’m sharing one single, one album, and one behind the scenes look into a recording artist's creative process to listen to at your leisure over the weekend. The behind the scenes of an artist’s creative process is storytelling with both artists and music enthusiasts in mind.
