Artist Sophie Simmons is out with a new single "Black Mirror." She explains what inspired her to write this song, and dishes on the music streaming space.
"Black Mirror is kind of a modern love story between us and our phones," says Simmons. "I thought it would be interesting to analyze relationships with technology."
Simmons estimates she'll make about $20 off of 200,000 streams of her new single, so she says that recording artists need to be focused on tours and merchandise as the main revenue source for their music.
