The 100 Best Songs of 2025, with a short word on each and a much longer word on the state of the industry.
"The best music of 2025 didn’t just sound good, it sounded present, corporal, made by hands and breath and bodies in rooms... the unmistakable texture of human intention, choices made and revised in real time and music that could not have been made otherwise.
...
This is artistry that is less about fighting AI and more about ignoring it entirely by making music so particular and so human that the question of mechanical reproduction becomes irrelevant."
