Switched On Pop: How Popular Music Works - Nate Sloan and Charlie Harding
Switched On Pop. The Secret to Hit Songs, by Nate Sloan and Charlie Harding, breaks down sixteen pop hits released between 2000 and 2019 to discover what makes them work and what their cultural impact is. Each chapter focuses on a different musical property—melody in Taylor Swift, lyrics in Justin Timberlake, the hook in Ariana Grande, rhyme in Drake, key changes in Beyoncé, sampling in M.I.A., or the tonal ambiguity of Luis Fonsi—accompanied by original illustrations by Iris Gottlieb.
Nate Sloan and Charlie Harding are the creators of the popular podcast of the same name, "Switched on Pop," a benchmark in the musical analysis of contemporary pop culture.
