Reviews

“Streaming Music, Streaming Capital is terrific. Synthesizing an impressive wealth of literature and materials, Eric Drott offers us an assured and learned guide to understanding recorded music in the present conjuncture and likely for years to come. As a study of the political and psychic economies of music streaming, it is unparalleled and will be a must-read for those who care about the subject.” -- Sumanth Gopinath, author of * The Ringtone Dialectic: Economy and Cultural Form * “Eric Drott offers a much-needed analysis of recorded music, online streaming, and their mutual mediation. With its incorporation into digital platforms, music’s oft-celebrated power to connect takes on new significance as it becomes, simultaneously, a lucrative asset, a service to rent, a means of data accumulation, and an extra-economic resource. Drott’s fascinating examination of this new music economy’s coherences and contradictions deserves to be widely read.” -- Marie Thompson, Senior Lecturer in Popular Music, The Open University “For those awaiting the definitive critical interrogation of the global music streaming economy, Eric Drott has provided a consummate account. Refusing the fallacy of music’s exceptionalism, in this skilled reading music portends many of the wider crises characterizing our world.” -- Georgina Born, Professor of Anthropology and Music, University College London
