Pop music is the most mainstream and accessible genre of music, making it suitable for people of all ages and backgrounds to dance to and enjoy.
Pop music features catchy beats that are fun to dance to and can help children develop rhythm and memory skills.
1. “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” by Justin Timberlake
Timberlake once earned his place as an industry innovator and genre pioneer; yet his recent return to a sound that is familiar yet overdone may feel like a step backward. While his new album “Everything I Thought It Was” includes fun pop tracks that let him shine brightly, it is difficult to shake the feeling that he is playing it safe.
Timberlake’s latest tracks may appear like standard R&B, but it’s important to keep in mind that music tastes can vary widely; one person’s mundane lyrics could be another’s heartbreak! This holds especially true when discussing contemporary pop music which often seems repetitive or formulaic – yet some enduring and memorable tracks actually prove otherwise! There is ample proof available here!
2. “Roar” by Katy Perry
Katy Perry’s pop music is designed to appeal to children, often including empowering messages that they can understand. This song from Katy is no exception: it conveys strong and positive messages about finding strength within yourself and standing up for yourself.
The music video is also very child-friendly. Beginning with a painted jungle scene and then transitioning into live action, Katy begins as an discomfited flight attendant wandering a jungle after her plane crashes before coming across an ancient cave that features prehistoric art with tigers roaring stronger than men – something all kids will enjoy seeing!
After some time, she begins to tame the tiger that attacked her boyfriend and eventually goes on to tame all of the jungle animals including monkeys and elephants – sitting back down on her throne surrounded by all those she has befriended! This video provides children with an entertaining yet empowering learning experience! This is sure to spark their imagination! This video makes a wonderful resource for school projects!
3. “Firework” by Katy Perry
Pop music offers children transitioning away from nursery rhymes and sing-alongs the chance to explore a wide array of engaging songs and video clips. Children can dance along to these beloved tunes or practice listening skills by playing Musical Statues together with family or friends – its catchy beat and positive lyrics encourage children to strive their hardest at school and other activities.
Katy Perry’s hit is filled with positive messages that make it ideal for children of all ages, especially when teaching teamwork or celebrating one another’s successes. Additionally, this song can serve as an excellent teaching aid when teaching music appreciation or history to your little ones.
Katy Perry’s music spans a range of styles and is heavily influenced by various artists; among these include ABBA, Stevie Nicks and Bjork. Katy’s tunes also reflect her playful yet playful sensibility that’s evident in her film work.
4. “Best Day of My Life” by American Authors
Pop music is an immensely popular musical genre marketed towards teenagers and pre-teens, often targeting those aged 13-19 years. As one of the more mainstream forms, it often incorporates elements from other popular forms at that time, making up its own sound while often taking elements from others too. People have their own personal tastes when it comes to this style of music while some may reflexively disregard styles they do not understand.
But pop songs can have positive messages for children of all ages that resonate across generations. Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” encourages happiness and carefree spirits; Katy Perry’s empowering “Roar” encourages kids to discover their inner strength and stand up for what they believe in; while Bruno Mars’ “Count On Me” serves as an upbeat reminder to be good friends.
5. “Count on Me” by Bruno Mars
Bruno Mars is an acclaimed musician known for his three-octave tenor voice and ability to effortlessly blend different musical genres. Growing up with musical parents provided Bruno the chance to explore a variety of instruments and genres throughout his childhood years.
After starting as an indie singer and songwriter, his 2010 hit “Nothin’ on You” catapulted him into pop stardom. Since then, he has gone on to win multiple Grammy Awards with hits like Uptown Funk and 24K Magic.
His hit single “Count on Me” is an emotionally moving tune about friendship and loyalty that resonates strongly with 10-year-olds. With its catchy rhythm and emotive vocals, this anthemic song encourages kids to be strong enough to stand up for what they believe in and be bold enough to stand up against bullying.
6. “Brave” by Sara Bareilles
This song provides an uplifting message and catchy tune to encourage children to overcome any fears. Plus, its message will get them moving!
Bareilles first emerged onto the music scene in 2002, performing at local clubs such as Hotel Cafe and Genghis Cohen. Her debut album Kaleidoscope Heart quickly reached number one on Billboard 200 chart and became an incredible success story. Later that same year she became one of three judges on popular singing competition show The Sing-Off.
Bareilles addressed sensitive subjects on her second album, Brave, such as bullying and being an independent woman. Her song “Brave” became widely recognized after critics likened it to Katy Perry’s chart-topping hit “Roar.” Additionally, Bareilles composed an empowering anthem for gay teens called “What Makes You Beautiful,” featured in Zootopia movie. Bareilles released fourth studio album entitled The Blessed Unrest in 2013.
7. “What Makes You Beautiful” by One Direction
One Direction first gained widespread fame among teenage girls after appearing on the seventh series of UK show The X Factor in 2010. Their debut album, Up All Night (2011), offered upbeat pop songs about carefree revelry and first-time heartache.
What Makes You Beautiful, featuring an upbeat guitar-based chorus and riff, channels these themes. According to Digital Spy, its musical composition echoes Pink’s “Raise Your Glass” and McFly’s “All About You”. Additionally, its middle eight includes cowbell instrumentation as well as a catchy “na na na” hook.
The lyrics also address concerns associated with teenage life that may seem harmless at first, but are anything but. Given how prevalent peer pressure has become thanks to social media and cameraphones (think last year’s UniLad scandal), their lyrics could easily backfire: encouraging young women to pursue relationships beyond Simon Cowell proteges’ practices – an approach not limited solely to them. Furthermore, this song marked their debut single sale and sold over five million copies globally.
8. “Try Everything” by Shakira
Shakira explored new genres after the success of “Whenever, Wherever.” In 2007, she released Oral Fixation as her first Spanish-language album and earned critical acclaim for both her voice and musical style.
This song’s lyrics encourage children to persevere when faced with difficult challenges and remain persistent despite setbacks, reminding them they can always overcome life’s hurdles and come back stronger than ever.
This song is an engaging way to promote positivity and joy! With its upbeat tempo, its upbeat tune will have children dancing within minutes! Listening to this tune while reading or performing chores is also fun; and “Musical Statues” makes an interesting game! When music plays, kids must dance; when it stops they must remain immovable like statues – any movement takes them out of the game!
9. “Happy” by Justin Timberlake
Pop music is the most widely-appealed musical genre and targets young audiences, making it easy to sing along. Pop songs generally incorporate short and repetitive lyrics that make singing along easy for most listeners, while its diverse soundscape allows music companies to effectively target teenagers and pre-teens with ease.
Taylor Swift’s song “Mean” is an engaging kid-friendly pop track that encourages us to be kind and not bully others, while Katy Perry’s “Firework” provides children with encouragement to embrace their unique qualities and shine brightly for others.
Though some adults may dismiss today’s pop music as childish, parents need to remember that children can be adept listeners. Furthermore, learning music offers multiple advantages for brain development, social skills and emotional health of children.
