Pop Song.

‘Killer’ by Adamski, featuring a then unknown 17 27-year-old singer named Seal. Released in 1990, it reached #1 on the UK Top 40, remaining there for 4 weeks.

That bassline + that rhythm + those vocals = Pop ‘90.

Pop Song.

‘Birdland’ by Weather Report. Released in 1977, it reached #30 on the Billboard Hot 100.

While wholly in the key of G, it weaves in and out of different strains: major, minor, blues, and mixolydian modal.

It features Jaco Pastorius and Wayne Shorter.

Yeah… Pop.
