In her discussion with Hannah Moore, Liz Pelly, the author of "Mood Machine," reflects on how music consumption has transformed over the past decade. She emphasizes Spotify's tailored playlists, which accommodate various emotional states, thereby promoting a 'lean back' listening experience. This method, while convenient, raises concerns about the potential loss of personalized music exploration as algorithms dictate choices. Pelly also addresses the growing influence of artificial intelligence in music creation and the pushback from artists who feel the impact of these technology trends.
