Daniel Ek, CEO of music streaming giant Spotify, opened up a can of worms last weekend when he said that musicians these days need to churn out regular material if they want to get by. A few artistes felt that his comment was fair do's. But others were fuming from the ears.

And one person who Ek has rubbed the wrong way is Rudy Wallang, the front man of Soulmate, arguably the country's most prominent blues outfit, which has released a new album called Give Love, after a gap of seven long years.
