The great thing about both Indian and Western pop music is that they're fast and have a beat.
'Things that Never Cross a Man's Mind' is probably one of my favorite upbeat tempo songs because it is just a sassy song, and it's a fun song.
I don't really do sad, depressing songs.
Lord knows, I love a brainless pop song.
I wanted to give people songs like 'Wait a Minute' and 'Formal Invite' for the club, and I also wanted to get real serious and show them my versatility.
For my shows, I don't play too many slow songs.
I love my pop music.
One of my favorite lyrics is 'Clams on the half-shell and roller skate, roller skate.' So they can be just really party-inspiring lyrics or just something brilliant like 'Tutti Frutti.'
Drake gets you bouncin'!
I love a good, poppy chorus.
I could never write a proper party song.
I like rock music that has melody, but it also makes you wanna get up and dance.
'I Just Might Pray' by The David Mayfield Parade has an upbeat tempo without being sugary sweet. 'I Just Might Pray' is an enjoyable track and is easily listened to. As a side note, the video for 'I Just Might Pray' is absolutely adorable.
My dancing is Hawaiian-inspired but I also get a little fresh when it comes to my faster songs.
'Honky Tonk Badonkadonk' wasn't some serious song, but it was huge! It was funny.
'Head Over Boots' is a shuffle, but it's more of a Motown laid-back shuffle than, say, a Dwight Yoakam shuffle.
The easiest way I can describe what makes a pop song a pop song is that it's a song you want to hear over and over.
Dr. Dog is good summer music.
Anytime you throw claps back to back on a song, it makes everybody want to get up and have fun. It's a fun sound.
Sometimes you just want to write a party song.
The thing that I love about pop music is the simplicity and the directness of it.
And of course, pop music is all about memorability and simplicity and positive messages and a little dash of joy.
I'd really like to see Mary Berry busting out a Pitbull number!
So Am I' is sonically like similar to 'Psycho' and energy-wise.
For me, a perfect pop song is something like 'This Year,' by the Mountain Goats.
