Now, I’m not suggesting that you listen only to brand new music. What goes in must come out! Your music might be perfect for those albums, but not today�’s albums.
Simply put, if you spend ALL your time listening to music that is 10,15,or 20 years old, then that is what you will write. When examining the music they love, it becomes apparent that the goal (getting their songs cut) does not match up to their musical diet. Many songwriters write emails to Marty Dodson and me each week asking what they can do to become better writers and have artists to record their songs.
And if we eat healthier food, we will have healthier bodies! But what about your musical diet?
