That's the thing: pop music has sometimes had a bad reputation for being about a lot of other stuff than the music. And I am just a lover of pop music. I love pop. I love big choruses.

Synchronized Voices

Choruses may sing different genres like classical, pop, or gospel, varying their repertoire.

Varied Repertoires
