![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Simply put, a lot of popular Western songwriters as getting sloppy with their melodies nowadays. In most cases, it is the most memorable and emotional connection we have to a song, and thus, it needs to have special attention taken to it when composing. I am a firm believer that in most forms of music, melody should always come first. Today I’m going to go over the music of one of my favorite countries, Japan, and what I have learned that they do differently when writing, performing, and producing their music. It is not that I have anything against popular American music in itself – some terrific, unforgettable tracks home come out of my homeland – but there are certainly some areas where I think it is generally outdone by other parts of the world. The response seems even more bizarre when you take into the account that the people who tell me this lately are students at a music college that is not located in the United States.Īmerican pop music is so ubiquitous throughout the Western World (and apparently Israel too) to the point where, from my observations, most people just think the way we do music is “the right way” and everyone else tries to write and perform just like it. Is the reaction I get from most people when I tell them 90% of the music I listen to is not from America.
