This week on Name 3 Songs…
Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) features a rewrite of “Better than Revenge.” While the song is laced with 2010s teen girl misogyny, we discuss why Taylor’s decision to rewrite “she’s better known for the things that she does on the mattress” wasn’t necessary in the context of modern feminism.
Keke Palmer faces blatant misogyny from her boyfriend claiming that she dressed too risque in public. In stark contrast, Jackson Wang says that while he wants to have kids, it’s ultimately his wife’s decision, and that finding a soulmate is more important than his desire to have kids.
Recently music critics Tom Breihan and Laura Snapes have revisited past pop releases, providing a new perspective on their original music criticism of Katy Perry’s 2010 “Teenage Dream” and Charli XCX’s 2016 Vroom Vroom EP. We look at how and why publication bias and personal bias play a role in music criticism.
