To Musak or not to Musak

There are certain kinds of music that just don't ever become musak: country love songs, opera solos, punk. Things that directly communicate and connect with you.

Pop, while it sounds fresh and new, is actually not. It is overproduced and hides and disperses the singer too much -- it becomes "safe" behind the sound board. This is a sure way to get in line for the musak train. If you're in it for the royalties then forget the voice lessons and run, don't walk to your nearest studio. If not, keep it real and stay out of the elevator.
