Reviews

Switched On Pop is an essential text for anyone who imagines the song to be a curious machine, burrowing its way into our hearts and minds. -- Hanif Abdurraqib, author of Go Ahead in the Rain: Notes on a Tribe Called Quest As smart and playful as the podcast that preceded it, Switched On Pop finds inventive ways to put sound on paper. -- Linda Holmes, host of NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour and author of Evvie Drake Starts Over Switched On Pop is a unicorn of a book: a work of public scholarship that neither ignores the public nor skimps on the scholarship. It is musicology that thinks about feelings and feels about thinkings. A rare feat! -- Phil Ford, Associate Professor, Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, and co-host of the Weird Studies podcast Through rigorous but accessible dissection...the pair don't just make the case for pop's relevance-they also illuminate the discrete layers that make it so fun. -- The Atlantic
