From Dreams to Screens
Review by Gary Hill
It's probably no surprise to those who read Music Street Journal regularly that I'm not the target audience for modern pop music. I often find it to be lacking. Even more frequently I get annoyed at the over-the-top production and artificial nature of much of the modern version of the music. So, it says a lot that I really enjoyed a lot of this quite a bit. It does have a tendency to get a little samey, but I wonder how many fans of this genre listen to more than a song or two by any artist at one time. Taking these songs individually, rather than as a full album, would definitely negate that.
This review is available in book (paperback and hardcover) form in Music Street Journal: 2022 Volume 6. More information and purchase links can be found at: garyhillauthor.com/Music-Street-Journal-2022.
