Spotlight: Streaming, Generative AI, and Market Concentration
On June 24, Pascal Bittard (IDOL) participated in a roundtable organized by La FELIN (Merlin), moderated by Philippe Astor (Music Zone). He was joined by key industry figures: Ludovic Pouilly (Deezer), Aurélie Hannedouche (SMA), Pierre-Alexandre Gauthier (Inouïe Distribution), and Xavier Tumminello (CNM).
Together, they explored the future of independent music, tackling crucial questions on streaming revenue, the impact of AI, and sector concentration.

We thank La FELIN for the invitation and all the speakers for their valuable insights. It was a rich and thought-provoking discussion that continues to fuel our collective reflection on the future of the independent music sector—balancing innovation, regulation, and fairness.

What’s your perspective on these challenges? Let’s discuss in the comments!

Back to that special evening at IDOL..Here’s another moment from Lea Maria Fries’ intimate showcase at IDOL. This time with a glimpse of Just Passing, a track from her beautifully singular debut album, Cleo. Between elegance and edge, pop clarity and jazz subtlety, her music defies categories with style.

A stripped-back performance carried by Lea’s (Heavenly Sweetness) expressive voice and a deep sense of emotion and nuance.
