Redefining Music

How Artists Continually Change the Musical Landscape

About this book

What do legendary blues musician Robert Johnson, Black Sabbath, and Billie Eilish have in common? Much more than you might think.

Redefining Music: How Artists Continually Change the Musical Landscape will not only change how you view influential artists but reframe the way you view the evolution of music in general. Through painstaking research and a profound thirst for musical discovery across genres, author Jacob Pellegrino began exploring subtle similarities between some of the world's most influential musicians.

Tracing direct lines from Nina Simone to Jay-Z and from Bob Dylan to Kanye West, Pellegrino discovered direct evidence that the changes happening throughout music over time were not dictated by the consumer but by a handful of musical icons whose innovations shaped an entire industry.

With Redefining Music, Pellegrino not only hopes to change how the history of music is viewed but to shed light on a few of those revolutionary artists who truly redefined music for generations to come.
