Kelly's "Ignition"-I know, I think back about jamming out to this one and.. it's weird). Then the whole world changed. There's no doubt we're in a different era now post-COVID.

Throw-back party albums just won't pack the same punch. Plus, if WEF (the World Economic Forum) is any example, music will be turned into a tool for reaching the goals of the Great Reset. ..If this goal sounds too lofty and ominous, let's break down the steps of how a cultural tool such as music can be leveraged to reshape your mind.
