I think that in the creation of music, there is always ideas and inspiration from other styles and artists. Perhaps the style of music was maliciously stolen, or maybe it was inspiration from a booming genre. Though, it's still possible to see some level of talent. #F22POPMUS

I believe Ray Charles uses a breaking voice to convey another level of rawness and emotion while singing, disregarding smooth vocals and making it feel more intimate and casual. #F22POPMUS

With apps like Spotify, music is much easier to access, which in turn allows people to listen to music from other cultures and ways of life that they wouldn't of otherwise heard. This also allows people to semi-bond with people from different cultures through music.#F22POPMUS

A lot of todays popular music surrounds topics such as drugs, money and broken relationships. While there isn't anything inherently wrong with that, it does create a false need for some listeners as they may feel they need to do all these things to fit in. #F22POPMUS
