Looking back at Tina Turner's big hits so many of them are Bruce Springsteen-esk. Where are the music makers who actually speak about ordinary working class lives and hopes and dreams now?

They are on the underground scene in every city, and pushing their music directly to online channels.

You don't find new, undiscovered talent by looking at streams of established artists

Where are you looking? Music publishing has never been more egalitarian. I have my own tracks on every major streaming platform just by paying a $15 annual fee
