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.
Simpson’s gridiron legacy was forever overshadowed by the 1994 knife slayings of Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. A criminal court jury found him not guilty of murder, but a separate civil trial jury found him liable.
Hollywood closed out an up and down 2023 with “Wonka” regaining No. 1 at the box office, strong sales for “The Color Purple” and an overall $9 billion in ticket sales that improved on 2022’s grosses but fell about $2 billion shy of pre-pandemic norms.
