Nobody makes good popular music anymore.
Sam Cooke never used autotune.
I agree, mostly. You really have to dig deep but there is good pop music out there. Benson Boone, Beautiful Thing, and Aimee Carter, One Day You Will Fly Too, and 2nd Day in College.
It’s not pop music for 80-year-olds, like me, but teenagers, like my granddaughter. I do like these songs though.
