My Turn (EP)
''My Turn'' is the debut EP by Swedish singer and songwriter John Lundvik. It was released on 10 May 2019 by Warner Music Sweden. The EP includes the singles " My Turn" and " Too Late for Love". The EP peaked at number 39 on the Swedish Albums Chart. Critical reception Scandipop.co.uk gave the EP a positive review stating, "All very different from each other. ‘Loving You’ sounds like it could have been Margaret's next Melodifestivalen entry, ‘Sucker For Ya’ is an up-tempo, rousing, retro-soul jam, and ‘Say I Do’ is the soppy ballad we were all expecting to be on here. They're all pretty excellent, actually, what with him being a dab hand at the ol’ songwriting lark. But our personal fave (of the new ones at least) is ‘Loving You’. It sounds like his next big hit." Singles " My Turn" was released as the first single from the EP on 24 February 2018. The song peaked at number 10 on the Swedish Singles Chart.

Pop Music
Pop music is a genre of popular music that originated in its modern form during the mid-1950s in the United States and the United Kingdom. The terms ''popular music'' and ''pop music'' are often used interchangeably, although the former describes all music that is popular and includes many disparate styles. During the 1950s and 1960s, pop music encompassed rock and roll and the youth-oriented styles it influenced. ''Rock'' and ''pop'' music remained roughly synonymous until the late 1960s, after which ''pop'' became associated with music that was more commercial, ephemeral, and accessible. Although much of the music that appears on record charts is considered to be pop music, the genre is distinguished from chart music. Identifying factors usually include repeated choruses and hooks, short to medium-length songs written in a basic format (often the verse-chorus structure), and rhythms or tempos that can be easily danced to. Much pop music also borrows elements from other styles ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
