All new Hum Love playlist on Spotify and Apple.
This one is a little different. Although if you’ve been following along you’ll see the through line.
Powerpop. The lost genre. Not lost in the sense that it doesn’t know where it’s going…
Lost as in, it waits to be discovered. It’s never fully come to the forefront. It’s come close a couple times but never has garnered the mass appeal that its brilliance deserves.
The powerpop that was happening in the mid 90’s into the early 2000’s was a huge deal to me as a kid. And there’s a lot of good stuff from back then that I wanted to include on this playlist that hasn’t made it onto streaming services (The Semantics, Jon Brion, Arch Stanton, Heavy Sleeper).
But here’s a taste. If you know the genre you know there’s so much more good stuff. If you’re new to powerpop here’s a solid start.
