Examines how the making, marketing and performance of new Islamic music genres relate to Islamic discourse and thought, through a case study of Awakening, an Islamic media company formed in London.
Awakening an Islamic media company formed in London has created the soundtrack to many Muslim lives during the last two decades. As the company celebrates their first 20 years in the industry, Jonas Otterbeck examines their remarkable rise to success and their established reputation as one of the most important global enterprises producing pop music inspired by Islam. Otterbeck thoroughly describes the history and development of new Islamic popular music genres, in particular pop-nashid and Islamic pop, for the first time. He argues that Awakening a company with the ambition to portray itself as Islamic is best understood in relation to the ethical turn in Islamic thinking. In this way, he explores how the Islamic pop industry is, in effect, altering the very formulations of Islamic thought.
