Switched on Pop 2

For this blog post, I decided to write about the Vox Produced Podcast Called Switched on Pop about the episode, one hundred fifty-four. This episode is about the artist Lauv. Lauv is one of my more recent favorite artists. I really like a lot of his recent songs and he has just barely released his first full album. What I have not realized about his music until now is that a lot of them are pretty sad sounding lyrics and are actually fairly heavy topics, but are spun in such fun upbeat pop way. They go on to talk about how he wrote his song **** I'm Lonely, which is actually a good song that I like. He talks about how he wrote the beat while in an airport and on the plane on his tour. He then is asked by a viewer what his line "Its been me myself and why did you go", and he says that it was suggested by one of his friends and was meant to be an expectation subversion and calls it a mind rhyme. A mind rhyme is when like when it leads you to think a word but then replaces it with another word that in some way rhymes with the word you thought it would be. They also talk about his song Mean It which is actually my favorite of his songs. He says it was inspired by 1989 Taylor Swift and said it was his favorite pop album of all time. I don't know what album he is talking about because I thought Taylor Swift's music back then was more country not pop, but hey it led to this song which I really enjoy.
