In a standard composition of this musical style, one looks for an evident meaning of both music and lyrics. They need to be direct. We’re just revealing the obvious by saying that composing a Pop song that really works, that appeals to a wide range of people, is an extremely complex mission, one of the most difficult to accomplish in the magical world of music production. It is no coincidence that, nowadays, all the “artistic procedures” put in place to create a Pop tune are complicated. They’re the result of the tireless work of actual teams of producers, lyricists, professionals. That's why we want to talk to you about a successful project, the one involving a young Canadian singer/DJ/producer, Liam Mockridge, who manages in his single 'Touch' to blend various modern and current musical elements such as the groovy rhythms coming from House music, R&B and makes a very well composed song out of it. Liam, who is used to traveling and in his young life has already come into contact with numerous different cultures, manages to mix different musical influences to build his own personal style of music and singing. The sound that the song presents is attributable to well-known musical styles, but there’s a very fresh twist to it, a contemporary one. We should all learn a few important things from the world of Pop music, such as the effectiveness of the message that is often conveyed and the fact that, if a song seems simple to us, then it surely the outcome of countless hours spent finding the right sounds to use, the right loop, the right lyrics and chorus. A song liked by a vast spectrum of people shouldn’t be taken for granted, and we certainly must not take Liam’s ‘Touch’ for granted. This is the real secret of quality pop music: it is shallow only to those who don’t bother to read between the lines. 'Touch’ contains the active substance that should form a good song: a tight rhythm section, a well well arranged harmonic section and the right artists to sing on top of it. It also features the presence of Herizen (hailing from Miami) & LA based rapper Life on Planets who, with their sharp musical personality enrich a song which, due to its rhythmic, harmonic characteristics, can be easily interpreted by multiple voices. We advise you to follow the trajectory of Liam Mockridge, who’s already showing a peculiar gift for music.
