The ‘Twenty-Teens’ has been one of the scariest decades in the history of the world.
Though there has been no Black Death, flu pandemics or genocide, humans seem more frazzled and wired than ever before.
Through it all, live and recorded music has provided a soundtrack to the march of human life.
From January 1 2010 to December 31 2019, popular music has given people comfort, joy and companionship.
In the 2010s project, I hope to offer 2010 songs for those ten years. There are roughly 201 songs for every year, with all songs considered. Pop, rock, independently minded, major label, jazz, rap or hiphop, country, the blues, new age, soundtrack and syncs, African hi-life, Scandinavian power-pop, hardcore punk, reggaeton, electronic, lo-fidelity, soul, rhythm and blues, Kanye West…
Just as global events progress, and one Prime Minister or President follows another, so people dance, clap and sing along to popular sounds.
Join me on my journey to find 2010 songs for the 2010s!
