   A legendary record producer-turned-brain scientist explains why you fall in   
   love with music.   
      
   This Is What It Sounds Like is a journey into the science and soul of music   
   that reveals the secrets of why your favorite songs move you. But it's also a   
   story of a musical trailblazer who began as a humble audio tech in Los   
   Angeles, rose to become Prince's chief engineer for Purple Rain, and then   
   created other No. 1 hits ,including Barenaked Ladies' "One Week," as one of   
   the most successful female record producers of all time.   
      
   Now an award-winning professor of cognitive neuroscience, Susan Rogers leads   
   readers to musical self-awareness. She explains that we each possess a unique   
   "listener profile" based on our brain's natural response to seven key   
   dimensions of any song. Are you someone who prefers lyrics or melody? Do you   
   like music "above the neck" (intellectually stimulating), or "below the neck"   
   (instinctual and rhythmic)? Whether your taste is esoteric or mainstream,   
   Rogers guides readers to recognize their musical personality, and offers   
   language to describe one's own unique taste. Like most of us, Rogers is not a   
   musician, but she shows that all of us can be musical - simply by being an   
   active, passionate listener.   
      
   While exploring the science of music and the brain, Rogers also takes us   
   behind the scenes of record-making, using her insider's ear to illuminate the   
   music of Prince, Frank Sinatra, Kanye West, Lana Del Rey, and many others. She   
   shares records that changed her life, contrasts them with those that appeal to   
   her coauthor and students, and encourages you to think about the records that   
   define your own identity.   
      
   Told in a lively and inclusive style, This Is What It Sounds Like will refresh   
   your playlists, deepen your connection to your favorite artists, and change   
   the way you listen to music.
