Switched On Pop

Are ever you wondering why ABBA became such a worldwide sensation? Maybe you've thought about the unexpected increase in lyrical litigation involving Gen Z musicians. These are the kinds of inquiries that the creators of Switched On Pop, a vibrant pop music podcast from Vox and New York Magazine, are thinking about. There is no greater pairing than composer Charlie Harding and musicologist Nate Sloan to dissect the current trends in popular music.

However, what makes Harding and Sloan's conversational style so fascinating is the way they break down song clips' technical aspects before analyzing how these catchy choruses affected other genres of music. Only Switched On Pop has convincingly compared the lyrics of ABBA’s “Dancing Queen” to those of BTS and Troye Sivan, making it ideal entertainment for those looking to spice up lackluster dinner parties with pop music facts.
