Actually, if I could deliberately sit down and write a pop hit, all my songs would be pop hits! Let's put it this way. I play what I like to hear. And sometimes I like to hear something poppy, and sometimes I don't.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love pop music. It's not easy to write a good pop song.
I used to be afraid to use the word 'pop' to describe my music, but underneath my tough, bad-girl sound, there's some fun.
I'm definitely a pop artist at heart.
Pop music can absorb so many peculiar talents, ranging from the completely nonmusical poseur who just uses music as a kind of springboard for a sense of style, to people who just love putting all that complicated stuff together, brick by brick, on their computers, to people like me who like playing conceptual games and being surprised.
I think people who just know me from my band think I don't like pop music. The truth is I love pop music.
Pop songs are not as graceful as they used to be. Performers today haven't gone through the regimen of learning how to write. And of course, everyone wants to own copyrights.
I try to not go, 'I'm writing a pop song.' Music is inherently genre-bending.
Music is for people. The word 'pop' is simply short for popular. It means that people like it. I'm just a normal jerk who happens to make music. As long as my brain and fingers work, I'm cool.
I'm totally convinced I can write the perfect pop song.
Pop music thrives on repetition. You know a song's a hit when you've heard it so often that you'll be happy never to hear it again.
