Adele’s manager recently spoke out in defense of controversial music streaming services. Jonathan Dickins spoke in favor of the music application. On the final day of the Web Summit tech conference, which took place in Dublin, Ireland, Dickins said that streaming is the future…
Services like Spotify or Pandora may need to change some of their approaches to maintaining good relationships with artists. Though musicians will have to find ways to collaborate with the biggest streaming services.
