2 weeks in the making, the fourth edition of The Pop Scribe 10 is a dizzy concoction of pop from around the globe. The world may seem to be on the brink of collapse, but this week’s playlist shows a united pop front with cuts from Portugal, Colombia, Venezuela, Norway, Sweden and the usual suspects: the US and the UK. All in all, it’s been a funny two weeks in pop with some high-profile disappointments (I’m looking at you Harry Styles/Noah Cyrus) and some low-key brilliant returns (TLC/Michelle Branch). Here’s hoping we are graced with more pop goodness over the next few weeks e.g. if a certain Ms. Perry would like to make her fully-fledged return that would be just great.
The fourth edition of The Pop Scribe 10 includes:
- Grace Mitchell giving us a masterclass in pop euphoria
- RAC teaming up with former Vampire Weekend-er Rostam
- Latin pop queen Shakira reminding us of her love for mojitos
- Electro experimentalist Arca flexing his pop muscles to stunning effect
- Astrid S gliding through ethereal pop with sharp edges
- Little Dragon exploring the life of pop through an 80s filter
- The long-anticipated return of TLC in charming nostalgia-mode
- Michelle Branch repositioning herself as an indie pop darling
- Kate Nash hitting the sweet spot between her pop and DIY roots
- Steps dipping their toes into the world of EDM
