DESERT SONG

UMG’s global confab of top-level players convenes in the oasis of La Quinta, California, as our new print issue lands on desks and doorsteps, with the industry’s evolving ecosystem very much under the microscope. Sir Grainge and Team Uni will assess the changing nature of A&R, the perils and possibilities of AI, the economics of the current streaming model and more. They’re just glad we’re not there to use up all the sunscreen.
