Highlight Of The Decade

Mostly I've just loved watching artists, especially young artists, come into their own and develop their personas. Harry Styles going from cute boy band member to arty-farty prog-rock icon has been a highlight. Sam Smith opening up has been great. Lady Gaga's ongoing evolution is still helping me figure out what it means to be a woman. There's been a lot of stripping back this decade and showing 'the real artist' (behind a managed layer of sheen, of course).

Prediction For Next Decade

Country music is going to triumph (am I ready? I don't know).
