I’m listening to “Retrospect” by Ari Herstand.

Ari’s a friend, and it’s wonderful seeing him share art again.

Ari is, quite literally, the man with the plan. Many of you have read How To Make It In The New Music Business, his fantastic book, or subscribe to Ari’s Take, his fantastic blog, or signed up for his (again) fantastic academy. If you haven’t, you should check out all three.

Creativity is a deeply personal thing, and within his success lending perspective to others and sharing his mind so generously, it’s about goddamn time his heart takes center stage.

Congrats on a stellar release, brother.
