"headTitle": "Where Did All the Key Changes Go? | KQED",
"content": "\u003cp>Many of the biggest hits in pop music used to have something in common: a key change, like the one you hear in Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance With Somebody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But key changes have become harder to find in top hits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chris Dalla Riva, a musician and data analyst at Audiomack, wanted to learn more about what it takes to compose a top hit. He spent the last few years listening to every number one hit listed on the Billboard Hot 100 since 1958 — more than 1100 songs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just started noticing some trends, and I set down to writing about them,” says Dalla Riva, who published some of those findings in an article for the website \u003ca href=\"https://tedium.co/2022/11/09/the-death-of-the-key-change/\">Tedium\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He found that about a quarter of those songs from the 1960s to the 1990s included a key change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But from 2010 to 2020, there was just one top song: Travis Scott’s 2018 track, “Sicko Mode.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ONRf7h3Mdk&t=1s\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How the key change is used in pop music \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Dalla Riva, changing the key — or shifting the base scale of a song — is a tool used across musical genres to “inject energy” into a pop number.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are two common ways to place a key change into a top hit, he says. The first is to take the key up toward the end of a number, like Beyoncé does in her 2011 song “Love on Top,” which took listeners through four consecutive key changes. This placement helps a song crescendo to its climax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ob7vObnFUJc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second common placement, Dalla Riva says, is in the middle of a song to signal a change in mood. The Beach Boys took this approach in their 1966 release “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apBWI6xrbLY\">Good Vibrations\u003c/a>,” as did Scott’s “Sicko Mode.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The key is just a tool,” Dalla Riva says. “And like all tools and music, the idea is to evoke emotion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Key changes falling flat \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13921576']According to NYU professor and author of \u003cem>Dilla Time\u003c/em> Dan Charnas, the key change has faded out of popularity alongside the often slow and emotional ballad, which he calls a “bastion of key changes.” Meanwhile, hip-hop has taken center stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Hip-hop is a rejection of a lot of the tropes of traditional musicianship,” Charnas says. Music composition has also changed, prioritizing rhythm and texture over individual notes and chords.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are some numbers from the late ‘80s, like Michael Jackson’s 1988 hit “Man in the Mirror,” where the key change can be seen as both a mark of beauty and a cliché.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PivWY9wn5ps\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can look at that song in two different ways. On one level, it’s a perfectly constructed song, a beautiful piece of songwriting. A lot of craft goes into it,” Charnas says. “In another view, it’s tropey, maudlin and completely manipulative.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the key change was once a mark of musical sophistication, many now consider it a crutch. Dalla Riva says a lot of his peers think using the key change is lazy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s just like you get to the last chorus and you’re like, all right, we need to inject some more energy. Let’s just shift the key up a half-step or a whole step.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Where pop music is headed \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some fans and pop music experts might be inclined to mourn the “death” of the key change, but Charnas says musical tools and composition techniques are constantly evolving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s lots of ways to get dynamics in a song and in a composition,” Charnas says. “Key change is just one of the ways.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13921777']In the absence of key changes — and in a time where hip-hop and electronic music have gained popularity — composers have turned to varying rhythmic patterns and more evocative lyrics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if you’re one of those folks who wants the key change to come back, Charnas believes there’s one way to do it: fund music education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You want to know why Motown was such an incredible font of composition? Three words: Detroit Public Schools.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though it can be cliched, Charnas says he does miss hearing a key change when it’s used at its best.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Do I miss good key changes? Absolutely. Do I wish more people could rock a key change like Stevie Wonder? Absolutely.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2022 NPR.

The first is to take the key up toward the end of a number, like Beyoncé does in her 2011 song “Love on Top,” which took listeners through four consecutive key changes. This placement helps a song crescendo to its climax.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/Ob7vObnFUJc'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/Ob7vObnFUJc'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>The second common placement, Dalla Riva says, is in the middle of a song to signal a change in mood.

The electronic duo, who describe themselves as musical scavengers who “destroy the competition with their army of lethal bangers,” was joined by Charli XCX, Kero Kero Bonito and A. G. Cook, among others, for an “open pit Minecraft show” on April 24.

Speaking to the \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/30/arts/design/museums-coronavirus-adam-koszary.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">New York Times\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, the Royal Academy’s social media editor Adam Koszary explains, “A lot of people are going to fall into the trap of just trying to give people what they’d come to see in person on the screen.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s where Animal Crossing comes in. Now, the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s entire collection is available to own and display in the game. Likewise, the Instagram account \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/animalcrossingfashionarchive/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@AnimalCrossingFashionArchive\u003c/a> documents designer looks recreated for Animal Crossing avatars. What started as a small group of friends has led to partnerships with fashion houses like \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/B_sl6J9j9eD/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Marc Jacobs\u003c/a> and Valentino. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/B_nK9h5pMSQ/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If listening to music or looking at paintings online were a replacement for concerts or exhibits, music venues and museums would have closed a long time ago; physical spaces are crucial to facilitating the conversations and insights that help us appreciate and enjoy art. (One Square Garden attendant commented, “You just can’t replicate moshing and some girl getting her hair twisted on the button of your jean jacket.”) \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But virtual concerts also open the doors for people who wouldn’t otherwise get to experience those events. The average price for a Travis Scott concert ticket is well over a hundred dollars—not something most casual listeners would drop for a show. Christian Nisperos, who attended \u003ci>Astronomic\u003c/i> as well as a few other virtual concerts since shelter in place started, typically doesn’t go to many shows in person. “One of the main drawbacks for me is cost,” he explains. “Many IRL concerts can get fairly expensive, but these virtual concerts have been free.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cultural experiences that once stood behind barriers—whether physical, financial or geographic—are now available to anyone with an internet connection. And while we’re all eagerly waiting for the next time we get to go see a show with our friends, more democratic access to art and music is a development well worth preserving.\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cp>On Sept. 15–16 at Oakland’s Coliseum grounds, a poster of P-Lo, the hyphy heartthrob, greeted Rolling Loud’s thousands of attendees as they entered the venue to witness an intergenerational lineup of Bay Area rappers and industry heavyweights like Travis Scott and Pusha T.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Bay is very important to the history of hip-hop,” Tariq Cherif, co-founder of Rolling Loud, told KQED Arts. “You know, a lot of the modern independent hip-hop scene was built and modeled after what guys in the Bay were doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since its debut in 2015, Rolling Loud has become the world’s largest traveling hip-hop festival, with editions in Miami and Los Angeles. But in 2017, its inaugural Bay Area event at Shoreline Amphitheater didn’t go off without a hitch: beloved Berkeley rapper Lil B was physically assaulted, allegedly by another rapper’s entourage, and some Bay Area rap fans and promoters lambasted the event online as a result.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rolling Loud 2018 in Oakland, however, took a different tone: the two-day festival celebrated and uplifted the Bay Area’s regional sounds, with high-energy performances by over a dozen Northern California artists, including E-40, Kamaiyah, Saweetie, P-Lo, Mozzy and ALLBLACK.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”dHZsarkx1OlSZd4KoCbxjiyUAUy2DwXc”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The critical mass of Bay Area and Sacramento artists kept the fest from feeling generic and gave it a distinctively local flavor. Without these acts, Rolling Loud Oakland would have blended in with the festival’s other editions, where Travis Scott, Young Thug and Jaden Smith have already performed. The crowd looked familiar, too: neon fanny packs, NBA jerseys and white-girl cornrows resembled Instagram in real life. And as it often happens at music festivals, many non-black concertgoers seemed to feel disconcertingly at ease saying the n-word as they rapped along with their favorite artists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13840951\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13840951\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0312-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"ALLBLACK backstage at Rolling Loud Bay Area in Oakland on Saturday, September 15, 2018.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0312.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0312-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0312-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0312-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0312-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0312-520x346.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">ALLBLACK backstage at Rolling Loud Bay Area in Oakland on Saturday, September 15, 2018. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>At Rolling Loud’s Saturday kick-off, ALLBLACK didn’t let fans forget they were at a show in East Oakland, his home turf. He’s an emerging regional star on his way towards carrying Oakland’s sound beyond the 510. His set narrated his life experiences as a black man growing up in a neighborhood called the Murder Dubs, with an aggressive flow that blends the Town’s earlier music movements of mobb and hyphy into a forceful signature sound.[contextly_sidebar id=”CJzT37B5wN3POJuedBwhEnUML2PNFOi1″]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>P-Lo, fresh off of a national tour with Oakland-born chart-topper G-Eazy, performed an energetic homecoming set. His memorable line from his track “Put Me on Somethin’,” “Last year they ain’t even like the Bay,” served as a reminder of the Bay Area’s fight for recognition in the national music scene. After the hyphy movement, the Bay’s relationship to mainstream hip-hop weakened. But the recent rise of artists like G-Eazy, Kamaiyah and Saweetie, all of whom have major label deals, indicates a shift. Bay Area artists have long fought for a seat at the table, and the numerous local artists at Rolling Loud certainly felt like a step in that direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When G-Eazy joined P-Lo to perform their collaborative Bay Area anthem, “Power,” P-Lo shouted to the crowd, “You proud to be from the Bay… because I’m reppin proud Bay Area sh-t.” He and his DJ, Cal-A, tore up the crowd like only some boys from the Bay could, gigging in the audience as they closed their set. To the side of the stage, members of HBK Gang and ALLBLACK went dumb in solidarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, Saweetie and Guapdad 4000 performed an unreleased collaboration during the “Icy Girl” rapper’s set; the sense of community among the local artists was palpable. For a weekend, Bay Area rappers set aside differences and performed as a united front as the industry’s underdogs, holding their own among a roster of mainstream artists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13840924\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13840924\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0879-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Kamaiyah plays Rolling Loud Bay Area in Oakland on Sunday, September 16, 2018.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0879.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0879-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0879-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0879-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0879-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0879-520x346.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kamaiyah plays Rolling Loud Bay Area in Oakland on Sunday, September 16, 2018. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This year’s Rolling Loud featured a notable increase of female rappers, including Kamaiyah, the reigning queen of the Bay Area rap scene.“I f-cking made it in Oakland, we ain’t never seen anything like this before,” she said as she opened her set.

But in 2017, its inaugural Bay Area event at Shoreline Amphitheater didn’t go off without a hitch: beloved Berkeley rapper Lil B was physically assaulted, allegedly by another rapper’s entourage, and some Bay Area rap fans and promoters lambasted the event online as a result.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rolling Loud 2018 in Oakland, however, took a different tone: the two-day festival celebrated and uplifted the Bay Area’s regional sounds, with high-energy performances by over a dozen Northern California artists, including E-40, Kamaiyah, Saweetie, P-Lo, Mozzy and ALLBLACK.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The critical mass of Bay Area and Sacramento artists kept the fest from feeling generic and gave it a distinctively local flavor. Without these acts, Rolling Loud Oakland would have blended in with the festival’s other editions, where Travis Scott, Young Thug and Jaden Smith have already performed. The crowd looked familiar, too: neon fanny packs, NBA jerseys and white-girl cornrows resembled Instagram in real life. And as it often happens at music festivals, many non-black concertgoers seemed to feel disconcertingly at ease saying the n-word as they rapped along with their favorite artists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13840951\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13840951\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0312-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"ALLBLACK backstage at Rolling Loud Bay Area in Oakland on Saturday, September 15, 2018.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0312.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0312-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0312-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0312-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0312-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0312-520x346.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">ALLBLACK backstage at Rolling Loud Bay Area in Oakland on Saturday, September 15, 2018. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>At Rolling Loud’s Saturday kick-off, ALLBLACK didn’t let fans forget they were at a show in East Oakland, his home turf. He’s an emerging regional star on his way towards carrying Oakland’s sound beyond the 510. His set narrated his life experiences as a black man growing up in a neighborhood called the Murder Dubs, with an aggressive flow that blends the Town’s earlier music movements of mobb and hyphy into a forceful signature sound.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

His memorable line from his track “Put Me on Somethin’,” “Last year they ain’t even like the Bay,” served as a reminder of the Bay Area’s fight for recognition in the national music scene. After the hyphy movement, the Bay’s relationship to mainstream hip-hop weakened. But the recent rise of artists like G-Eazy, Kamaiyah and Saweetie, all of whom have major label deals, indicates a shift. Bay Area artists have long fought for a seat at the table, and the numerous local artists at Rolling Loud certainly felt like a step in that direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When G-Eazy joined P-Lo to perform their collaborative Bay Area anthem, “Power,” P-Lo shouted to the crowd, “You proud to be from the Bay… because I’m reppin proud Bay Area sh-t.” He and his DJ, Cal-A, tore up the crowd like only some boys from the Bay could, gigging in the audience as they closed their set. To the side of the stage, members of HBK Gang and ALLBLACK went dumb in solidarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, Saweetie and Guapdad 4000 performed an unreleased collaboration during the “Icy Girl” rapper’s set; the sense of community among the local artists was palpable. For a weekend, Bay Area rappers set aside differences and performed as a united front as the industry’s underdogs, holding their own among a roster of mainstream artists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13840924\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13840924\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0879-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Kamaiyah plays Rolling Loud Bay Area in Oakland on Sunday, September 16, 2018.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0879.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0879-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0879-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0879-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0879-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/MG_0879-520x346.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kamaiyah plays Rolling Loud Bay Area in Oakland on Sunday, September 16, 2018. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This year’s Rolling Loud featured a notable increase of female rappers, including Kamaiyah, the reigning queen of the Bay Area rap scene.“I f-cking made it in Oakland, we ain’t never seen anything like this before,” she said as she opened her set.
