The new edition of Music Week is out now, and we welcome music business behemoth and YouTube global head of music Lyor Cohen to the cover.
Cohen sat down with us to mark the launch of YouTube Music, and let’s just say the results are explosive. Music Week posed questions covering all corners of the business and Cohen’s industry career, and he answered in inimitable fashion. You won’t want to miss this one.
