Pop

Pop for the walk home when your own playlist has run out of surprises, from Icelandic love songs to Seoul city pop.

Pop is the one music every country makes for itself, and you can cross from one country's to the next in a single evening. One minute it's the youth station a whole nation grows up on, the next it's a Tokyo summer from forty years ago, still sounding like the windows are down. Somewhere between Motown and hyperpop there's a chorus you've never heard, and you'll be humming it by tomorrow.
