I have to confess, I am really not that crazy about music labels. Especially, in this current age where so many diverse sounds, textures, and cultures can be woven into any one composition, labeling can become a fool’s game trying to dissect and tease out an array of singular terms that are meaningless individually and confusing as a collection. Too often, I find they get in the way of appreciating music for what it is. I often remind myself to just listen and hold off on the labels.
