Recenzii
One-hit wonders are pop's overachieving underachievers, winners-but-losers that stretch categories - up to a point. In this big book of small fries, academics and musicians reckon with the results, from bubblegum to global pop - every musical identity ersatz, every twist and turn a chance to marvel, yet again: "How Bizarre."
A fascinating look at the cultural and personal context around one-hit wonders, this collection deftly explains why some of these songs escaped obscurity - and makes excellent cases why others might be best left in the past.
One-Hit Wonders is a treasure trove of analysis into why particular songs resonate at specific moments in history and how quickly they can date. Hill's collection is full of insight into the vagaries of taste, the nature of audiences and why certain musical moments remains timeless. It poses fascinating questions about what happens to those whose careers are defined by that one hit song.
One-Hit Wonders unveils the many layers behind those familiar, catchy, (and sometimes grating) hit songs that all too often evade the pop music history textbooks. Covering a wide variety of songs, as though you are turning a radio dial that traverses a Top 40 format across decades, this engaging collection emphasizes that these songs are not standalone entities but are deeply embedded in larger cultural movements and moments.
