Pop Music from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir
Let’s face it; music isn’t the same as it was 20 years ago. Music is an ever changing medium and with it new sounds, artists and fans emerge with every generation. Pop music is today’s new normality and with it an entire new way of listening to music through players, phones and even watches. Pop music originates from the word ‘popular’ and its name is fitting as more people listen to music today than at any other time in history.
