PBS Studios | Sound Field: Why K-Pop is More Complex Think You Think
Nahre Sol investigates why K-Pop is different from other styles of Pop music, speaks to K-Pop producer and songwriter David Amber and attempts to create her own K-Pop track. Source: YouTube

While she’s not overly academic, Nahre uses and explains music theory terms. You’ll feel much smarter afterwards! Now you know the Phrygian mode is the most common mode in K-pop!

If you love learning about music, I recommend watching more of Sound Field, one of my favorite digital-first programs from PBS Digital Studios. Hosts Nahre Sol and LA Buckner are both musicians and music educators. This YouTube series explores all aspects of music, from “What is the Spotify Sound” and “What Makes Black gospel Musicians So Skilled” to “Why Does Sad Music Sound Sad?” and “Where is the Funk? How Prince Created the Minneapolis Sound.”

    Just subscribed to the channel.
    To add on to this, I recommend the YouTube channel ReacttotheK. They’re all music students who listen and react to k-pop songs for the first time.
