The Song Machine: Inside the Hit Factory
19.99 €
It seems that at the dawn of the 21st century, popular music has reached a whole new phase of development. To write a song, you no longer need to play the guitar masterfully and have poetic talent, and to sing it, you don't need a powerful voice - welcome to the era of autotune! But one thing is just a song, and quite another is a hit song that can make the performer famous and its author a millionaire overnight. By the way, who creates all these masterpieces? In his book "The Song Machine. Inside the Hit Factory" John Seabrook, an American culturologist and journalist, explores the phenomenon of popular music, its impact on modern society, as well as a detailed analysis of the "anatomy" of the hit and comes to an interesting conclusion - it turns out that in such a creative endeavor as the creation of a song is not important originality. Everything obeys a strict logic, "the math of the melody", and behind it is a whole team of professionals - producers, top liners, beatmakers and lyricists. Studying the history of the emergence of hit songs, Seabrook leads us to another, no less striking idea: it has almost always been like this.
