Now That’s What I Call NOW: A History of Pop Music in Britain, 1983-2025 by Jonny Brick
Requirements: .ePUB, .MOBI/.AZW reader, 1.30 MB
Overview: Since 1983, the Now That’s What I Call Music series has tried to document 120 moments in British from the electronic 1980s to the rock’n’roll of the 1990s to the R&B-inflected pop of the 2000s and beyond. Using the NOW compilations as a guide, Jonny Brick runs through the years and attempts to explain the good, bad and less good of pop. He also adds pieces of memoir to show us where his life was at any point in the NOW series.
Whether it’s Max Martin, Trevor Horn, Pharrell or Adam from Dumfries, sonic architects who craft the sound of pop are as important as the performers and the writers. You can also read Jonny’s theory on Pop Archetypes and the more commonly held belief that the 20-Year Cycle afflicts pop music, plus you can marvel at the appearance of catalogue across the series that proves the old songs are timeless.
Now That’s What I Call NOW is a celebration of the NOW series, and is in no way affiliated to the successful brand. Choose an essay, whether it’s about NOW 11 or NOW 111, and remember how pop used to be.
