I'm trying to learn to listen more consciously to albums and not just individual songs that get recommended by the Spotify algorithm. Unfortunately, I'm at a point where I struggle with appreciating good music as I'm mainly used to just use it as background noise.

Can anyone recommend good channels that dive deeper into songs and talk about the individual instruments? I'm also interested in artist showcases that explain what it took to create the song, their inspiration and reasoning behind it.

I think I just want to be able to appreciate music more and be able to understand whats going on.

My favorite genres are Rock, Hard Rock, Metal, and Rock and Roll type of things.

I've been watching a bunch of

and found it really interesting.

Any input is greatly appreciated :)

I don't know if this ~~fort~~ sort of thing will float your boat, https://www.youtube.com/@TheCharismaticVoice, Beth is an Opera singer and she does deep dives on firstly songs then continues to dive deeper into artists/bands

Seconding this. I'm generally not a fan of reaction videos but Charismatic Voice is amazing at picking out vocal techniques and explaining them. There's genuine joy in what she does and it shows. It's also been fun watching her get acclimated to metal over the years... pretty sure she has more tolerance for screaming than I do lol.
