More about the book

Focusing on the concept of "voice," this work explores the intersection of political economy, cultural history, and musical interpretation in popular music's evolution over the last 50 years. It addresses significant themes such as gender, race authenticity, and the role of repetition in song structure. By examining how vocality serves as both a literal and metaphorical expression of identity, the author aims to provide fresh insights into popular music studies and challenge existing assumptions within the field.
