Music Styles 2013
There is so much fun
retro style these days!
From the crisply suited smooth operators (Willy Moon, Hurts)
to the rough edged wanderers (Tom Waits, Jake Bugg), the soul divas (Adele,
Emeli Sande), the pop icons (Rhianna, Elton, Kylie), the club music players
(Calvin Harris) the casual indie kids (Radiohead, The National), the guitar
singer songwriters (Paul Simon, Jake Bugg), to the fantasy icons (Madonna, Lady
Gaga), the glorious emo kids, the glum rockers, the earthy folk blues singers…...
more!
I was flicking through music reviews and I notice today in
music (as in fashion) so many individual styles. This is a good thing! Back in
the 50s,70s and 80s there was often one main look – the mop top mods, the rock
n rollers, the spiky haired punks.
‘Style’ today is more all
encompassing, freer, diverse and more expressive.
