AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Grammy Drama: The Recording Academy says it will revisit its new Asian pop performance category, but the BTS submission deadline is days away—so a boycott reversal looks unlikely. Tour Buzz: Ariana Grande brought Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo onstage for “For Good,” despite months of feud rumours. Live Music: Weezer fans packed Ignition Music Garage for a preview of the band’s “Gold Album” ahead of its Aug. 21 release. AI in Music: New tools are pushing faster, more “professional” song and music-video creation, while Spotify moves to label AI personas and limit AI music in recommendations. Community & Culture: A Belfast craft pop-up called Rhythm explores how music inspires jewellery, ceramics, textiles and more. Local Spotlight: A Georgia artist known as “Lil Toonk” faces a court hearing after a homicide-warrant arrest. Classical/Vocals: Adelaide Chamber Singers’ Stellar heads to Macau for a major choral symposium.
