Introduction of Pop Music

Pop music is a genre of popular music that originated in its modern form in the 1950s, deriving from rock and roll. The terms “popular music” and “pop music” are often used interchangeably, although the former describes all music that is popular and includes many different styles. Pop music is eclectic, and often borrows elements from other styles such as rock, urban, dance, Latin, and country. Pop music typically focuses on catchy melodies and hooks, and tends to be more commercial in nature than other genres of popular music. It is intended to appeal to a wide audience, and often incorporates elements of other genres such as hip hop, rock, and electronic music.

Charlie Risso – Dark | Pop music review

November 9th, 2023|Tags: , , |

“Melancholic and very emotional song feels deeper and deeper with every time it is played. Addictive lead vocal is just beautiful and in moments sad, it oscillates between emotions, contrasts with moments of dark and brightness. Song progresses so well with perfect arrangement structure. ”

“Το μελαγχολικό και πολύ συναισθηματικό τραγούδι αισθάνεται βαθύτερα και βαθύτερα με κάθε φορά που παίζεται. Το εθιστικό φωνητικό μολύβι είναι απλά όμορφο και σε στιγμές λυπημένοι, ταλαντεύεται ανάμεσα στα συναισθήματα, έρχεται σε αντίθεση με στιγμές σκοτεινού και φωτεινότητας. Το τραγούδι εξελίσσεται τόσο καλά με τέλεια δομή ρύθμισης.”

-Nagamag.com

“La canzone malinconica e molto emotiva si sente sempre più in profondità ogni volta che viene suonata. La voce principale avvincente è semplicemente bellissima e in momenti triste, oscilla tra le emozioni, contrasta con momenti di oscurità e luminosità. La canzone progredisce così bene con la struttura di disposizione perfetta.”

Additional information/sources for Charlie Risso – Dark

Charlie Risso is a singer-songwriter of Genoese origins, musically nurtured between Milan and London, cosmopolitan, with an enchanting and melancholic sound. Fluent in both languages, English in her songs gives the project an international scope, allowing Charlie to dissolve any geographical boundaries.

Her debut album, “Ruins of Memories” (2016 – Incadenza), produced by M. Cominotto (Meganoidi, Tre allegri ragazzi morti, among others), received excellent reviews right from the start. In December 2020, she released “Tornado,” an intense album inspired by cinematic atmospheres reminiscent of Badalamenti, a journey between dream and substance suspended in a limbo of lights and dark brushstrokes. The indie/dream pop/electro folk setting was a fully successful backdrop for a project that immediately caught the attention of various film productions (“Per tutta la vita” by Lotus Production and “Tramonto a nord ovest” by Fargo Entertainment).

In November 2022, the EP “The Light” was released, with artistic production by Federico Dragogna, presented at various live performances, including the Italian openings for Amber Arcades. In April 2022, Charlie Risso participated in an artistic residency at Lake Studio in Massaciuccoli with the Australian musician Hugo Race (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds), leading to over a year of collaboration at La Tana del Bianconiglio recording studio. This collaboration with Hugo Race resulted in several tracks that will be part of the new album “ALIVE,” set to be released in spring 2024, featuring the participation of virtuoso violinist H.E.R. (Franco Battiato, Morrisey) and Roberto Dell’Era (Afterhours, Calibro 35).

“Charlie Risso is an artist with great sensitivity, whose voice, like that of a Scandinavian forest fairy or the sirens of the British seas, has the devastating power of a tornado.” (F. Latilla)
