Lost & Found: The Drama of Pop Form with Emily King
Live from SXSW: Grammy nominee songwriter Emily King didn\u2019t set out to write a perfect pop song with \u201cRemind Me.\u201d Instead, she bent the rules of song structure to fit her message: the magical feeling when you find something you\u2019ve been long missing. Mirroring this theme, the chorus doesn\u2019t come when you expect it. The climax arrives late, after an \u201caha\u201d moment that fills in the forgotten details. Each instrument fits perfectly together like a lost memory coming into focus. Even after she finds what she\u2019s been missing in her life, she deceived us once again with a diminutive \u2018down chorus.\u2019 At every turn, King shows how songwriting mastery opens up immense creative freedom, even within the constraints of a prototypical pop song.\nFeatured Songs:Emily King - Remind MeZedd, Maren Morris, Grey - The MiddleSam Smith, Normani - Dancing With A StrangerTaylor Swift - DelicateSurvey\nWe are conducting an audience survey to better serve you.
