After being pummeled by sugar indie guitar bop along bands such as 'The Kooks' & 'The Wombats', Pop is once again rearing it's ugly head and making it cool to dance in your bedroom mirror. Ever since the Foals try to sell us pop under the guise of mathematic art, the reinvention of Pop has been unstoppable and the last year disco beats& seductive synths have been pushing back into the public ear. The new era of pop is about combining playful sounds with witty lyrics & cut-throat image; it's a tougher than the face of pop we've known but fuck me it's exciting.
Doing It Right; Santogold, The Virgins, Chewlips, Apes And Androids & Mystery Jets.
Doing It Wrong; Kanye 'Auto-Tune' West, Lady Gaga.
Honorable Mention; Girls Aloud for making nonsense lyrics, dance routines and matching outfits acceptable in NME & Ms Britney Spears who could be the poster-girl for the drug addled reemergence of pop.
