Pop Life: What to the protestor is the pop song?
The tradition of global-scale catastrophes receiving star-studded song tributes began with the fairly unlistenable “We Are The World.” Its most recent example is “Hands – A Song For Orlando,” which features everyone from Britney Spears and the inexplicably-still-here Meghan Trainor to Imagine Dragons and Mary J.

Pop Life: Dangerous Women
“Sex sells” has been a truism for-fucking-ever, but in popular art it often involves a double-edged sword.

Buy at iTunes As I watched the premiere of the LEMONADE short film on HBO this past Saturday, every aural and visual clue prompted me—and most of Twitter—to think, “Yo…is Bey gonna divorce Jay Z in public on this shit?” And then, “HOLY SHIT, she’s totally gonna do that.” And then, “But wait, he’s appearing […]

10 Essential 21st century pop albums
When Treble highlights the essentials of a particular style of music, we can sometimes pick apart the particulars of what makes something fit under a very specific, very restricting genre. But when it comes to picking apart our favorite pop, that’s essentially like opening Pandora’s Box. Pop can and often does mean just about anything […]
