The presidential campaigned fostered the
term "change" at every political corner. Change,
evolution, is vital to an economy as well as to the field of
arts. Have you listened to the top songs on the radio
recently. Has the previous monopoly of rap songs run its
course? Clearly, there is and always will be rap but
it appears that dance music is on the road to
recovery.
Is Sexy back? Is Dance music returning? Last year some of the
top artists included Justin Timberlake, Rhianna,
Timberland, Carrie Underwood, and Nelly Fatado. More recently,
NeYo released a dance tune that rocketed up the
charts, landing on the penthouse level.
"Closer," has a great dance beat,
fusing R& B with a gritty euro dance
beat. Other R&B singers like Chris Brown
(nominated Artist of the Year) along with the younger
generation of performers have been testing the waters of dance music
with great success. Danity Kane, The Pussy Cat Dolls, Snoop
Dog, Kanya West, Jessie McCartney, Girliousious,
Will.I.AM, John Legend, Christina Agulara, Robin
Thicke and Jordan Sparks. These young artists are achieving
success with the dance beats. Throw in some seasoned veterans
like Madonna, New Kids On the Block and - you now have a full
spectrum of performers embracing dance music.
Some have incorporated a touch of
rap but the core of the songs have the heart
and soul of true dance tunes. With the on slaught and
popularity of dance television shows, could the artists be trying to
accommodate the interest level of partnership
dancing? Is dance music, that you can touch dance
too, making a serious come back? Artists are driven by the
clubs and listeners reaction. With so many dance
songs now getting recognition, its not surprising that other artists
will replicate this successful formula.
It appears that the Euro disco sound has had a major impact on
many artists. As this new breed of singers and
bands continue to test the waters and hit the bulls eye, we
can only hope we are on the ground level of a dance music
revolution.
