Three’s a crowd: Understanding the rise of two-chorus form in recent popular music - Jeremy Orosz
Manage episode 408127913 series 2933925
In this week's episode, Jeremy Orosz discusses a formal trend that's been emerging in pop and rock songs. In the last decade or so, a surprisingly high number of songs in verse-chorus form contain only two statements of the chorus as opposed to the typical three. Over the course of the episode, Orosz walks us through his detailed corpus-based study, discussing nuances of this trend and the impact that this form, what he calls "2C" for short, has on the organization and sound of this music.
This episode was produced by Zach Lloyd along with Team Lead Anna Rose Nelson.
