Basically just take a look at the American charts (but not only) to realize that a large slice of pop is black. Well, are the wonders of R & b, a genre that blends the lesson of Motown, the disco and hip hop music, all sounds much closer to the sensibility of the "colored people" as to that of whites. But it is also true that music, like almost everything else, make rounds. And every cycle of music is closely linked to the changing political and social environment that surrounds it and produces it. Today, ratings, television and radio world is dominated by Beyoncé from Rihanna, by Estelle (the American boy, a real big wheel), by Kanye West, from John Legend, by Timbaland, by Leona Lewis, by Keyshia Cole, all artists who have more or less the same background and is derived from a single matrix. They are the platformon which the pop sprout next year, what in 2009 will be the focus of world in Italy and also collect a lot 'of applause. Someone has noted that often, with a curious but not incomprehensible mechanism, the change in the White House also had an impact on pop music in the rest of the world.
For example, in the sixties, the arrival of Lyndon Johnson - much more than that of John Fitzgerald Kennedy - encouraged the explosion of Motown, the label of Berry Gordy in a few years that launched the Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and so listing, with a giant impact that still is felt throughout the world (and read the piece below by Antonio Lodetti). When it was the turn of Jimmy Carter, the second half the Seventies, came the disco music that ferries the so-called "black music" to one that gives thelora began to call themselves "racially mixed audience," a heterogeneous audience that since then no longer disrupted. Even the Rolling Stones, Kiss and Rod Stewart, to say the musicians quite pasta, then recorded album with songs that are more or less dip into disco music. Remember Emotional rescue, I was made for loving you and Do ya think I'm sexy? There. The same applies to the era of Bill Clinton, another multiplier music coincided with the emergence of mass rap tamed palates for generalists, as demonstrated by sales of millionaires Will Smith (yes, then he was a rapper, not a Hollywood star) , Vanilla Ice, Young MC and MC Hammer.
Now comes Obama, and, as already provided for some analysts, the sounds of dance might come in the rap and fashion soften their tones, converging on the most popular as the dance and entertainment genericamenyou intended. It will be very difficult words that are repeated planetary success as American idiot, so that the Green Day unleashed in practice against Bush. O rapper that blacks continue to gain against racism and white like Eminem (which leaves just a few weeks) misogyny remain in the same way: the arrival of Obama and Hillary Clinton is to force a decisive change and arguments taking other directions necessarily less astiose. Of course, there is the recoil of the economic crisis. But that world is the world, when your pockets are empty, the pop is full of desire to have fun. It is a kind of musical contrappasso.
In any case, the scenario will not change in a decisive manner, at least for music.
Leaving missed cases almost medieval style minstrels of Provence, or, rather, as jesters Will.I.Am of Black Eyed Peas which one minute after the election of new president has pUBLICITY an apologetic and bird song entitled It's a new day, no doubt the trend of 2009 will be quite similar to that of the last two years.
Just see the resounding success that Beyoncé is having not only in the U.S. (where the cd with the songs and I am ... Sasha Fierce is back in first place a few weeks after it fell as low, very rare case of rising in the charts ) or that of Leona Lewis, who has not only announced his autobiography (accidents, only 23 years and is famous for two), but even sing during the ceremony of establishment of Barack Obama in the White House January 20. They are the queens of pop a year that looks to be the first in a new era, with new styles, new ideas and, hopefully, new enthusiasm. And, as always repeat Labelle, deafening chorus of those'70s Voulez vous coucher avec moi, who have ap guardacasoPenalty overturned: "The real pop is like an explosive, to make it better it takes a good detonator. It is the right time, then.
