Pop dirges

[resolute]

I've been listening to the pop music stations this past week. And I have to say, it all sounds like dirges to me. All these slow, sad, thin-voiced songs about breakups.

I'm hoping the summer brings the strident calls to joy, the witty anthems, the exuberance, the anger. I want Florence and the Machine, P!nk, "Despacito," Beyonce the Killjoys. I want their ilk for the summer.

This current batch of pop artists all sound like they just woke up from an unhappy nap.
