strong enough, kevin gilbert (2021).

for kevin it probably was [a rip on sheryl crow], but for me, we owned the publishing... so why not a gay disco version of ['strong enough'], so it’s played in clubs all over europe. and yeah, maybe it will piss off sheryl! the aim was not to piss off sheryl, we thought it was funny for a guy to sing "are you strong enough to be my man." kind of like a tribute to the village people. kind of a joke village people thing. we thought if it gets played in clubs, we get the publishing. we thought it was so clever, people might buy it. brian macleod.

TRENDING - House in Pop

definition

House is a genre of electronic dance music characterized by a repetitive four-on-the-floor beat and a typical tempo of 120-130 beats per minute as a re-emergence of 1970s disco. It was created by DJs and music producers from Chicago's underground club culture and evolved slowly in the early/mid-1980s, as DJs began altering disco songs to give them a more mechanical beat. By early 1988, House became mainstream and supplanted the typical 80s music beat. - Wikipedia

origins

Similar to the actual origins of house music, we can credit the current trend of house in pop to the popularity of disco pop (also known as nu-disco) in the mid-2010s - 2020. The first wave of nu-disco was in the early 2000s (see Kylie Minogue, Sophie Ellis-Bextor) but its second wave is what is responsible for the house resurgence today.

Kickstarted by Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" and piqued by "Get Lucky" by Daft Punk, 2013 was the year that brought disco pop back from the dead. Its popularity waned as the 2010s came to a close and then peaked back up again in 2020 thanks to hits like "Say So" by Doja Cat and "Don't Start Now" by Dua Lipa.

Then, 2 months after the release of the disco-laden Future Nostalgia, Lady Gaga released Chromatica, pioneering the house pop revival of the 20s. Unfortunately, the pandemic stifled this era. Clubs, THE house for house music, were closed so who knows just how big songs like "Babylon" and "Sour Candy" could've been had they been on rotation at queer nightclubs instead of streamed in isolation at home. It wasn't until Beyoncé's "Break My Soul" in June 2022* did we see this sound dominate in pop, becoming Beyoncé's 8th solo #1. Plus, the clubs were reopened so house music was allowed to thrive in its home once again and catch on with those even outside its doors.

It's fitting that a genre created for Black, Brown, and queer audiences amid a deadly epidemic would be revived during a deadly pandemic to remind us to forget the haters and celebrate life.*

forecast

Even though it is currently trending, house is forever. It will ebb and flow but its influence and sound on music is permanent. It's too good to go away entirely. That said, we may only score just one more house pop hit from a pop diva (looking at you Katy Perry) before a seismic shift in pop culture happens. We are at the midway point of the decade (Already?!!!) so dramatic changes in trends, music, etc. are bound to occur. It's telling that Ariana Grande's latest release was met with a divisive reception, with some of this being due to the drama surrounding her personal relationship and some of this being that people just do not like the sound, deriding it as "H&M music." Disco pop is already in its decline so house pop will probably follow.

*It's worth noting that Drake took a career turn and released a house album just days before "Break My Soul." It wasn't good though so honestly, nevermind.

*Babylon, Break My Soul, Problematique, and yes, and all share this sentiment. There are many reasons why house music is the appropriate genre for this message, but the most obvious reason is that this message resonates most strongly with queer audiences.

Lyrics:

I got this feeling inside my bones

It goes electric, wavey when I turn it on

And if you want it, inside your soul

Just open up your heart, let music take control

I got that sunshine in my pocket

Got that good soul in my feet

I feel that hot blood in my body when it drops, ooh

I can't take my eyes up off it, moving so phenomenally

The room on lock the way we rock it, so don't stop

Under the lights when everything goes

Nowhere to hide when I'm getting you close

When we move, well, you already know

So just imagine, just imagine, just imagine

Nothing I can see but you when you dance, dance, dance

A feeling good, good, creeping up on you

So just dance, dance, dance, come on

All those things I shouldn't do

But you dance, dance, dance

And ain't nobody leaving soon, so keep dancing

I can't stop the feeling

So just dance, dance, dance

I can't stop the feeling

So just dance, dance, dance, come on

Ooh, it's something magical

It's in the air, it's in my blood, it's rushing on

I don't need no reason, don't need control

I fly so high, no ceiling, when I'm in my zone

'Cause I got that sunshine in my pocket

Got that good soul in my feet

I feel that hot blood in my body when it drops, ooh

I can't take my eyes up off it, moving so phenomenally

The room on lock the way we rock it, so don't stop

Under the lights when everything goes

Nowhere to hide when I'm getting you close

When we move, well, you already know

So just imagine, just imagine, just imagine

Nothing I can see but you when you dance, dance, dance

Feeling good, good, creeping up on you

So just dance, dance, dance, come on

All those things I shouldn't do

But you dance, dance, dance

And ain't nobody leaving soon, so keep dancing

I can't stop the feeling

So just dance, dance, dance

I can't stop the feeling

So just dance, dance, dance

I can't stop the feeling

So just dance, dance, dance

I can't stop the feeling

So keep dancing, come on

I can't stop the, I can't stop the

I can't stop the, I can't stop the

I can't stop the feeling

Nothing I can see but you when you dance, dance, dance

(I can't stop the feeling)

Feeling good, good, creeping up on you

So just dance, dance, dance, come on

(I can't stop the feeling)

All those things I shouldn't do

But you dance, dance, dance

(I can't stop the feeling)

And ain't nobody leaving soon, so keep dancing

Everybody sing (I can't stop the feeling)

Got this feeling in my body

(I can't stop the feeling)

Got this feeling in my body

(I can't stop the feeling)

Wanna see you move your body

(I can't stop the feeling)

Got this feeling in my body

Break it down

Got this feeling in my body

Can't stop the feeling

Got this feeling in my body, come on
