I appreciate your thinking on this. For me, at the end of the day, it is all about the songs and how they make me feel. I don't care if it was done on a computer. And any connection to Eno is a positive. Thanks for the feedback!

I had a mixed reaction. Her moving, poetic music got my attention and gave me a nice groove for an hour or so of bike riding. I’ve been having this thought lately about artists that essentially produce music from software in their bedrooms. The band and “real” instruments lacking, the music itself sometimes seems repetitive and superficial. But her voice and especially her poetic lyrics seal the deal. I don’t know if this is good or bad, just the observation of an older music listener. Sometimes it feels like the trend is towards AI generated music. As opposed to four blokes on a stage jamming away at their physical instruments. Then again, I am a lifelong Brian Eno fan, so I contradict myself. AI could definitely extrapolate from Eno and keep it going forever.
