The Popcast crew gathers for a semi-annual mailbag episode, which touches on many of the pressing pop music issues of the moment, including the controversy surrounding Frank Ocean’s Coachella set; the challenges even the biggest pop stars (Sam Smith, Miley Cyrus) face when trying to keep up with massive singles; the sudden advent of artificial intelligence in pop music and evolving notions of authorship; the surprising recent growth in popularity and visibility of música Mexicana and corridos tumbados, with stars such as Grupo Frontera and Peso Pluma; and how the framework of genre continues to make sense even in a universal jukebox universe.
guests:
Jon Pareles, chief critic of pop music for The New York Time
Joe Coscarelli, DailyExpertNews pop music reporter
Lindsay Zoladz, DailyExpertNews pop music critic
Caryn Ganz, the pop music editor of DailyExpertNews
