Does your perception of the song change depending on who the artist is?
What would you think of the piece if the artist was a young girl? A grown Turkish man? Someone who is deaf? A neo-Nazi Holocaust denier? A rich businessman using AI and just looking to make more money? A poor teenager using a computer at their library?
I think most people’s like/dislike/perception of the song would be colored by who made it and how it was made.
You can’t always separate the art from the artist.
I see the point here, but I don't know the backstories of the vast majority of artists I listen to. In most of the cases, I just really enjoy the music. For instance, I found a playlist of R&B jams on Apple music the other day, and just kept shuffling through the playlist and it was a great experience. I have no idea who the people behind the music are, but I loved the songs
