'I feel like I'm at war': are we losing the battle against machine-made music?

'I feel like I'm at war': are we losing the battle against machine-made music? This year, the battle for song of the summer has been eclipsed by a much more complicated - some would even say disturbing - debate. That's because we find ourselves asking not "What's the song of the summer?" but rather "Is the song of the summer even?" Among the top contenders for the title is Fenix Flexin's Rubberz, a single released in June that has ascended to No 58 on the Billboard Hot 100 and racked up more than 35m Spotify streams. The artist is known for his trap music as part of the rap duo Shoreline Mafia, but Rubberz is a mildly noirish, 80s-inspired synth-pop track featuring a voice nothing like his.
