For generations, the value of music has been rooted not just in melody, but in the genuine human experience and emotion that a songwriter or performer pours into their art. This authenticity forms the foundational bond between an artist and their audience.

Are listeners beginning to favor the technically perfect, instantly customized creations of a machine over the raw, sometimes flawed, but deeply personal work of a human being?

The answer will redefine what “authenticity” means in the digital age.
