Description

Stole The Show drops us into the heart of the music streaming revolution. Our story follows the rise of Kygo, the first star born in this new streaming age. His success across streaming platforms, driven by his invention of the “tropical house” genre, changed the fundamental rules of how an artist succeeds. Stole The Show centers around Kygo's first arena show at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, using it as a lens to examine not only Kygo's journey from his bedroom studio in Bergen, Norway, but also the revolutionary rise of streaming. Before Barclays, Kygo was in an oddly indefinable position. His success felt major, becoming the fastest artist in history to reach one billion streams. However, no one had been in this position before, so there were no common benchmarks to go by. He needed a test to gauge his standing outside of the digital world. Barclays Center was that test, and the sold-out results reflected a resounding success. Stole The Show, featuring Bono, Steve Aoki, Martin Garrix, and Shaggy, examines Kygo's ascent within this brave new world of streaming, following his career from before it could be called a career through the moment he officially broke through the ceiling in Brooklyn, and beyond.

    This was a very interesting documentary about Kygo and his music. There are other artists in this film also. There is some swearing though.
  • Props to Kygo

    Kygo has an amazing unique sound that is truly one of a kind. The depth and thought process he applies to his music is stunning. It makes perfect sense to make a documentary about an artist that is taking radios across the globe by storm. I've been listening to him for years and I can never get enough!
  • Not bad!

    I was impressed with this documentary. It started out a little slow, but Kygo is awesome so I thought it was worth powering through. Glad I did because the ending is great!

    I can't believe the hype around such trash. This is about pretty boys and unimaginative compositions that it's hard to apply the word music to appreciated by individuals without a music education amped up by tech. It reflects the lost world of Justin Bieber and the like whose search for meaning is so much superficiality and sensation and not about the sacrifices to one's craft that are necessary to push the envelop with a message of where civilization needs to go... only how little the masses understand.
