On the heels of the "teen" years, we're literally & figuratively becoming of age as we arrive on the heels of 2022. No more rookie status. We're supposed to be passed the age of reason.

These tags also serve as artist provenance and act as an important function to an essential, but often overlooked, contributor to the finished song.
Not just another venue for voice-overs but a whole new world. What's the buzzword in the textile industry - Micro Fiber'ing.
