Description:

Is it necessary for elements of its composition to defy musical convention? Should it incorporate ideas and technologies in ways listeners are unlikely to expect? Could it instead be largely a musical symbol of artistic independence and creative empowerment?

 In the latest episode of our podcast, “Themes and Variation,” our three-person panel discusses some examples of how Taylor Swift, T-Pain, and Radiohead have contributed to the world of pop music. For this episode, I was joined by Switched on Pop’s Charlie Harding, a musician and music lover who has an astounding grasp on the ins and outs of popular songs and songwriting (he quite literally wrote the book on it not too long ago), as well as my co-producer and frequent episode companion, the ever-insightful, Mahea Lee.
