In Search of the Perfect Pop Song

Post by Bill Minnick »

In a new five-part series for the Radio 2 Music Club, Brit and Ivor Novello award-winning songwriter Guy Chambers ('Angels', 'Let Me Entertain You', etc) analyses the structure and craft of the 3-minute pop song.

In the company of some of the UK's and America's leading writers, musicians, managers and music historians, he discusses the songwriter's tools and tricks of the trade - and breaks down the pop song into its constituent parts.

This will include, amongst other things: intro’s, verses, choruses, third verses and endings.

And we want to hear your nominations for Perfect Pop Moments.
