This Is Pop Review: Netflix Documentary Unpacks Pop Music

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

It doesn’t matter how pure a sound is when it catches the ear’s attention, someone in the music industry will find a way to infect it. Pop music is infectious by design, and Netflix’s This Is Pop, reveals the delivery system. The eight-part docuseries focuses on some of the less unexamined moments of the most scrutinized genre in music. It is as depressing as it is exhilarating, and it barely skips a beat.

Much like the recent Apple TV+ series 1971: The Year That Music Changed Everything, This is Pop shows how pop music reflects and influences culture. Music has always been a great unifier, both for listeners and musicians. Regardless of race, faith, or sexual preference, everyone has a favorite song, and people are drawn to the art of music from every background. What starts as a neighborhood sound moves beyond the streets, and for every Boyz II Men, there’s a new kid on the block. They may not always be in sync, but they know how to make money off it.

Even the Brill Building, located on 1619 Broadway, which trained a generation of young composers to match melodies with danceable beats, turns out to be just another machine in “The Brill Building in 4 Songs.” The gathering place for all that young talent, from Neil Sedaka, who speaks in the series, through Carole King and Gerry Goffin, Burt Bacharach and Hal David, Lieber and Stoller, was molded on the structure of Ford Motors. The songwriters were just factory workers churning out hits on an assembly line.

When big money trickles down to create an international happening like the US Festival, it is a misstep on a road to gauge concert-goers. “Festival Rising” begins with a young voice almost audibly rolling her eyes at the not-so-innocent innocence of the early music gatherings. Jefferson Airplane’s Jack Casady and The Mama & the Papas’ Michelle Phillips explain how counterculture happenings like the “Human Be-In” at Golden Gate Park led to the loving unification of Monterey Pop. The arc of the Glastonbury Festival is fascinating. The demise of Woodstock is sadly inevitable. Altamont isn’t mentioned.

Most of the stories are fun, and unexpected. Who knew a well recorded demo on a shitty cassette could go on to become an international sensation? The strangest things happen when a song gets stuck in your head or a tape gets stuck in the deck of a car stereo. Record deals are made that way. Every episode opens with an innocent telling of an origin story. A kid who wants to be an athlete gets stuck in a gifted school and learns to score harmonies instead of field goals. A bunch of bikers and hippies go looking for a place to hear music without ceilings. A song hook gets perfected on the dance floor of a disco. Someone turns a knob all the way down on a program that wasn’t designed for it. Hey, if Spinal Tap can put their amps to 11, why can’t Cher turn the automatic tune correction down to zero? That’s not rock and roll, but it does pop.

The 1971 documentary adhered to the Homer Simpson sentiment “rock stars, is there nothing they don’t know?” No one expects this from pop stars. But it’s not like This Is Pop replaces the Vietnam War with the Oasis vs. Blur battle. Every episode includes sequences dealing with real issues and social injustice. Even if it’s just T-Pain getting razzed on a plane by Usher for destroying the art of singing. “What Can A Song Do?” showcases how the 1991 Anita Hill hearings led to Bratmobile, and Bikini Kill created the first safe space when Riot Grrrls directed “girls to the front” at shows. Gay rights suppression in Russia gets translated into an anthemic hit in America.

Racism, sexism, queer politics, and classism fill beats in every aspect of Pop music. Shoegaze legend Lush is told to show up at a photoshoot in a bikini with a champagne glass when being fitted for Britpop. Lil Nas X breaks the country music industry’s achy breaky hearts when he has a hit with “Old Town Road.” Public Enemy’s Chuck D vividly recounts how he reached back to the Isley Brothers for “Fight the Power.” When he says he wanted to capture how that song made him feel, he makes you feel it. “You can scream as much as you want,” Chuck D says, “but until you start breaking windows, that’s when they say ‘oh you gotta do something about this. It’s like American Pie.”

When Noel Gallagher breaks through George Harrison’s “Wonderwall,” it’s only because he needs the right word to finish a line. A song can’t change the world. “Music has no agency, only people have agency,” we are told as archival footage presents conflicting conclusions. During the late 1940s, while Woody Guthrie was a traveling troubadour from California to the New York island, Americans found strength in their proud use of Mexican labor. People wanted to do things together, his son Arlo Guthrie tells the camera. This flashback cuts to more recent footage of calls to build a wall between the two countries, and the weakness at its center. For every step forward, there is a pirouette backwards, except in country line dancing.

“When Country Goes Pop” sums up the basic premise of every genre highlighted. Country Music is supposed to be all about authenticity. Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton are labeled authentic, even as they consciously move toward the mainstream. Shania Twain made country music more popular than ever, but old school Nashville cats are too hypnotized by her belly button to recognize her genuine songcraft. Steve Earle ushers in the Integrity Scare, until Garth Brooks starts flying over audiences at concerts like he’s the Thin White Duke. The deepest visual representation of the genre’s authenticity comes in black and white photographs of members of Nirvana and Alice in Chains looking at Johnny Cash like he is god when he’s recording with Rick Rubin.

But is Ace of Base’s Ulf Ekberg any less authentic when he remembers playing the backing track of “All That She Wants” on a dance floor every night to ensure it got people moving before putting vocals on it? Blur arrives in America the day Nirvana lands. They decide to re-Brit themselves. What’s more authentically British than three chords and a Union Jack? Arlo Guthrie sums it up succinctly when he remembers his dad saying “the job of the songwriter is to disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed.”

“Auto-Tune” is the only episode which truly blurs any idealistic version of authenticity. Invented in 1997 by Dr. Andy Hildebrand as a way to measure oil deposits, the episode about the automatic tune correction function leaves more sludge than the Exxon Valdez. We actually hear an appreciation for the idea that singers no longer have to be able to sing, just look good. These words are said. Out loud. By a second-hand source, but they are there. For all the talk of social injustices thrust on artists, this may be the most infuriating. Because it is an imposition on the art itself. It is not a social wrong which can be righted by song. The song is the culprit. But, like “Stockholm Syndrome,” it shows how the entire industry goes from captivated to captive. They even explain how great jazz stylists of the past would need autocorrect if they were recording against the synthesizer-perfect, quantized music of today.

One segment recognizes Billie Holiday’s “Strange Fruit” as an invitation to mourn, not a call to unite. It is not considered a protest song because it personally invites people who do not know the pain of racial violence to understand it from the inside. While Motown is generating top tens, and its Berry Gordon wants nothing controversial within the walls of Hitsville USA, “Ball of Confusion” by the Temptations brings revolution to the mainstream. A Tribe Called Red brings traditional indigenous dances and music, officially banned by the Canadian government, to the dance floor as a technical protest, proving you can find the groove in any revolution.

“The Boyz II Men Effect” shows how the purity of the mix of Motown and Philly Sounds set a new standard for R&B in the 90s. Nate Morris, Wanya Morris and Shawn Stockman look back on keeping it real, truly expressing their desire to be listed among the great singing groups of the past based on ability. They want to be the Temptations, the Miracles, or the Moonglows, serious artists with strong voices who know how to structure songs and layer harmonies. They wind up creating the Boy Band genre, as we hear 98 Degrees’ Nick Lachey and New Edition’s Michael Bivins reverently recall how they wanted to be Boyz II Men. Record companies gave them the chance, replacing the Black artists with white pop stars for greener pastures.

“Hail Britpop!” is absolutely the wittiest of the installments. Blessed be the cheesemaker. Blur’s Alex James is hysterically sardonic. Miki Berenyi from Lush still rolls her eyes over people’s reactions to a Flange pedal. Sonya Madan from Echobelly rips the entire scene from the inseam. None of the episodes really take themselves seriously, but in this one, they tear themselves apart, even more than the Swedes, who never say nice things about themselves.

Of course, the best part of This Is Pop is searching for the songs after they are mentioned. The documentary is very generous with samples, but they really just serve as appetizers. Even the songs which make you switch stations on the car stereo or get left on the dance floor are time capsules. The docuseries can’t encapsulate everything, but is a good representation of how perceptions are at this exact moment in time. Just like any good song.

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

This is Pop is available to stream on Netflix now.

Last Movie I watched: Gone Girl

Top 3 Tv Shows: The X-Files, Orange is the New Black and 24

Top 3 Bands/Artists: Top 3 at the moment would be Huey Lewis, Janis Joplin and honestly those ladies who play The Muses in Disney’s Hercules - they absolutely killed it and I’m continually amazed by their vocals everytime I listen to that soundtrack

Top 3 overall - it’s impossible to choose just 3. Aerosmith, AC/DC, Vixen, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, Journey, The Eagles, Johnny Cash, Elton John, Cher, Black Sabbath, Lita Ford, Prince, Hall n Oates, Genesis, Johnny Clegg, Rod Stewart and Sade are just some of my top faves. There are also lot of R&B/vocal harmony groups like Backstreet Boys/New Edition/Boyz II Men/New Kids on the Block that I listen to quite often as well.

As for modern artists I like: Audioslave/Soundgarden, Nine Inch Nails, Amy Winehouse, The 1975, Haim, Ellie Goulding, FKA Twigs, Kelela, Die Antwoord (this last one more of some of their really interesting visuals than for their music)

Maurice White

Maurice "Moe" White (December 19, 1941 – February 4, 2016) was an American singer-songwriter, musician, record producer, arranger and bandleader. He was the founder of the band Earth, Wind & Fire. He was also the older brother of current Earth, Wind & Fire member Verdine White, and former member Fred White. He served as the band's main songwriter and record producer, and was co-lead singer along with Philip Bailey.

He won seven Grammys, and was nominated for a total of twenty Grammys. White was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame as a member of Earth, Wind & Fire, and was also inducted individually into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Also known by his nickname "Reece", he worked with several famous recording artists, including Deniece Williams, the Emotions, Barbra Streisand and Neil Diamond. White was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in the late 1980s, which led him eventually to stop touring with Earth, Wind & Fire in 1994. He retained executive control of the band, and remained active in the music business.

Biography

Early career

White was born in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1941. He grew up in South Memphis, where he lived with his grandmother in the Foote Homes Projects and was a childhood friend of Booker T Jones, with whom he formed a "cookin' little band" while attending Booker T. Washington High School. He made frequent trips to Chicago to visit his mother, Edna, and stepfather, Verdine Adams, who was a doctor and occasional saxophonist. In his teenage years, he moved to Chicago and studied at the Chicago Conservatory of Music, and played drums in local nightclubs. By the mid-1960s he found work as a session drummer for Chess Records. While at Chess, he played on the records of artists such as Etta James, Ramsey Lewis, Sonny Stitt, Muddy Waters, the Impressions, the Dells, Betty Everett, Sugar Pie DeSanto and Buddy Guy. White also played the drums on Fontella Bass's "Rescue Me" and Billy Stewart's "Summertime". In 1962, along with other studio musicians at Chess, he was a member of the Jazzmen, who later became the Pharaohs.

By 1966, he joined the Ramsey Lewis Trio, replacing Isaac "Red" Holt as the drummer. Holt and bassist Eldee Young left and formed Young-Holt Unlimited with pianist Hysear Don Walker. Young was replaced by Cleveland Eaton. As a member of the Ramsey Lewis Trio, Maurice played on nine of the group's albums, including Wade in the Water (1966), from which the track "Hold It Right There" won a Grammy Award for Best Rhythm & Blues Group Performance, Vocal or Instrumental in 1966. White featured on other Ramsey Lewis albums including: The Movie Album (1966), Goin' Latin (1967), Dancing in the Street (1967), Up Pops Ramsey Lewis (1967) and The Piano Player (1969). While in the Trio he was introduced in a Chicago drum store to the African thumb piano or kalimba and on the Trio's 1969 album Another Voyage's track "Uhuru" was featured the first recording of White playing the kalimba.

In 1969, White left the Trio and joined his two friends, Wade Flemons and Don Whitehead, to form a songwriting team who wrote songs for commercials in the Chicago area. The three friends got a recording contract with Capitol Records and called themselves the Salty Peppers. They had a moderate hit in the Midwest area with their single "La La Time", but their second single, "Uh Huh Yeah", was not as successful. White then moved from Chicago to Los Angeles, and altered the name of the band to Earth, Wind & Fire, the band's new name reflecting the elements in his astrological chart.

Earth, Wind & Fire

With Maurice as the bandleader and producer of most of the band's albums, EWF earned legendary status winning six Grammy Awards out of a staggering 14 nominations, a star on the Hollywood Boulevard Walk of Fame, and four American Music Awards. The group's albums have sold over 90 million copies worldwide. Other honors bestowed upon Maurice as a member of the band included inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Vocal Group Hall of Fame, The Songwriters Hall of Fame and The NAACP Image Awards Hall of Fame.

White brought the kalimba into mainstream use by incorporating its sound into the music of Earth, Wind & Fire. He was also responsible for expanding the group to include a full horn section – the Earth, Wind & Fire Horns, later known as the Phenix Horns. White began showing signs of the Parkinson’s disease in 1987, and was finally forced to retire from Earth Wind & Fire in 1994. He retained executive control of the band and was still very active in the music business, producing and recording with the band and other artists. Messages of encouragement from celebrities including: Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, Boyz II Men, Smokey Robinson, Isaac Hayes, Michael Jackson, Eric Clapton and Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine were published for White.

From time to time, after his retirement, he appeared on stage with Earth, Wind & Fire at events such as the 2004 Grammy Awards Tribute to Funk, and alongside Alicia Keys at Clive Davis' 2004 pre-Grammy awards party where they performed the band's 1978 hit "September".

Deniece Williams

In 1976, White, with Charles Stepney co-produced Deniece Williams' – a former backup vocalist for Stevie Wonder – debut album, This Is Niecy, which was released on Columbia Records. The album was the first project for the newly formed production company Kalimba Productions which was formed by Maurice White and Charles Stepney in the same year. This Is Niecy rose to number 3 on the R&B charts and contained the single Free which reached number 25 on the pop charts, number 5 on the R&B charts and number 1 on the UK singles charts. This is Niecy has been certified gold in the United States by the RIAA. With the death of Charles Stepney a few months after the release of This Is Niecy White solely produced Williams second album Song Bird, released in 1977. The single "Baby, Baby My Love's All For You" reached number 13 and number 32 on the black and UK singles chart respectively. Williams later released four more albums on Columbia Records for Kalimba Productions which were 1978's That's What Friends Are For, 1979's When Love Comes Calling, My Melody released in 1981 and 1982's Niecy respectively. In a 2007 interview Deniece says: "I loved working with Maurice White ... he taught me the business of music, and planning and executing a plan and executing a show."

The Emotions

After Stax Records became embroiled in financial problems, the girl group the Emotions looked for a new contract and found one with Columbia Records which released their album Flowers in 1976. With Charles Stepney co-producing their album with White, Flowerswas their first charting album since 1969. It rose to number 5 on the R&B and number 45 on the Pop charts, and has been certified gold in the US. The singles "Flowers" and "I Don't Wanna Lose Your Love" from this album reached, respectively, number 16 and number 13 on the R&B charts (number 87 and number 51 on the Pop charts).

Following Charles Stepney's death in 1976, White took over producing the Emotions, and the album Rejoice was released in 1977. Rejoice peaked at number 7 and number 1 on the Pop and R&B charts respectively, and spawned the singles "Best of My Love" and "Don't Ask My Neighbors", which reached number 1 on the Pop and R&B charts and top ten on the R&B charts respectively. "Best of My Love" won a Grammy for Best R&B Performance By a Duo or Group with Vocals, and an American Music Award for Favorite Soul/R&B Single. "Best Of My Love" was also the third biggest pop single of 1977, and has been certified platinum. Rejoice was the third biggest R&B album of 1977 and has been certified platinum.

In 1978, The Emotions released their third Columbia album, Sunbeam. It reached number 12 on the top R&B album charts and spawned the number 6 R&B single "Smile". Sunbeam has been certified gold by the RIAA. In 1979 Earth, Wind & Fire collaborated with the Emotions on the single "Boogie Wonderland" which reached number 6 and number 2 on the Pop and R&B charts and has been certified gold for sales of over a million copies. The Emotions also received an American Music Award nomination for Favorite Soul/R&B Band, Duo or Group in 1979. White produced two more albums for the Emotions, on his own Columbia-distributed label, ARC Records; they subsequently went on to record an album with the Chicago-based Red Label Records, and then one with Motown.

Work with other artists

In addition to his work with the Emotions and Deniece Williams, White collaborated with several other famous recording artists. For example, he played the drums on Minnie Riperton's debut 1970 album, Come to My Garden, and contributed vocals to Weather Report's 1978 album Mr. Gone. White also produced Ramsey Lewis' albums: Sun Goddess (1974), Salongo (1976), and Sky Islands(1993), Jennifer Holliday on her 1983 release Feel My Soul, Barbra Streisand on her 1984 platinum album Emotion, Atlantic Starr on their platinum 1986 album All in the Name of Love and Neil Diamond on his 1986 gold album Headed for the Future. During 1980, White sang on a live album with Walter Hawkins and the Family (a popular gospel group) in which he sang a solo along with Walter's brother Edwin on a song called Eternal Life. In addition he co-wrote the song "Only In Chicago" with Barry Manilow which was included on his 1980 platinum album Barry, the track "Tip of My Tongue" for the rock band the Tubes which appeared on their album Outside Inside, and contributed vocals to Cher's 1987 self-titled platinum album.

White produced two albums by the jazz group the Urban Knights, released in 1995 and 1997. Urban Knights I featured Ramsey Lewis, Brazilian percussionist Paulinho Da Costa, and American jazz saxophonist Grover Washington, Jr. and it went to number 3 on the Top Contemporary Jazz Albums charts. The group's second album Urban Knights II featured appearances by Ramsey Lewis, Paulinho Da Costa, EW&F's bassist Verdine White, singer-songwriter and guitarist Jonathan Butler and jazz saxophonist Najee. It reached number 5 on the Top Contemporary Jazz Albums charts. White also produced on James Ingram's 1993 Thom Bell inspired album Always You, notably the track "Too Much For This Heart". White arranged for the British girl group Cleopatra on their 1998 album Comin' Atcha!, which peaked at number 20 on the UK albums chart.

In 2000 White was the executive producer of the group Xpression's album Power with San Francisco Bay area producer/vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and educator, Maestro Curtis, whom White dubbed his protege and nicknamed him "the genius". Their debut album, Power, was released the same year. On March 27, 2006 White was featured on the French jazz band Nojazz's 2006 album Have Fun on the tracks "Nobody Else" and "Kool". "Kool" marked the first time White collaborated with his friend Stevie Wonder.

White served as the executive producer of an Earth, Wind & Fire tribute album entitled Interpretations: Celebrating The Music Of Earth, Wind & Fire which was released in March 2007. Featured on the album were renowned artists including; Chaka Khan, Kirk Franklin and Angie Stone. From that album Dwele's remake of "That's The Way Of The World" and Meshell Ndegeocello's cover of "Fantasy" were both nominated for Best Urban/Alternative Performance Grammy award.

White was executive producer for jazz musician Brian Culbertson's album Bringing Back The Funk which was released in 2008. The album features, among others, White, former EW&F member Larry Dunn, Bootsy Collins, Larry Graham, Ledisi, Musiq Soulchild, Maceo Parker and Gerald Albright. Bringing Back The Funk went to No. 1 on the Top Contemporary Jazz Charts and stayed there for two weeks. Culbertson revealed in an interview that he is "...still in disbelief. I have learned so much from (Maurice) and he actually said that he learned a lot from me. It was incredible to work with him."

Solo work

In 1985, White released a solo album entitled Maurice White that included a cover of Ben E. King's "Stand by Me," featuring a guest appearance by jazz saxophonist Gerald Albright and the moderate hit "I Need You." White's version of "Stand by Me" reached number 6 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks and number 11 on the Adult Contemporary charts.

In 2008, Filipino singer Gary Valenciano covered Maurice White's "Stand By Me into his album "Rebirth".
