Describe a singer that you like

You should say who he or she is, where and when you heard him sing for the first time, what types of songs he or she sings, and explain why you like his or her music. I would like to talk about one of my favorite singers, Sam Smith. He’s a British singer and songwriter who has become popular in my lifetime. He’s famed for his mellifluous voice and quality of his song lyrics, which are often romantic and soulful. Thinking back, I remember the first time I heard him was his song Latch, circa 2013. I remember my roommate was playing it in her car and I asked who the singer was and decided to look him up. Ever since that day, I just fell in love with him.

He constantly has new hits out on the pop radio stations. His songs are just super catchy. I would consider his music to be a mix of soul and pop. I think he started as a soul singer, but his music has transformed into being more of a pop genre. I really like his music because there’s always a good beat to it, and the lyrics speak to me on a deep level, causing me to feel emotional and identify with current dilemmas I’m facing. I like that some of his songs are more for dancing, while others are more for deep and romantic. All in all, he’s extremely talented and has a wide range. Sam Smith has a voice that really leaves a mark on you. Oh, I just love him..

?What kinds of music are popular in your country

A wide range. Nowadays with youngsters, EDM music is all the rage. Besides that, pop music, hip hop, alternative, and country are types of music that you hear most often on the radio. For example, my parents’ generation still sticks with their southern rock style of music, such as ACDC. Of all the music from the past, 80s American music seems to be played on the radio the most often.

?Do singers make lots of money

Of course. Singers are some of the richest people in the world. However, I imagine that their pay may be cut due to the increase in YouTube, Spotify, Pandora, and the like, instead of buying the records at stores. However, our generation idolizes celebrities, so they make uncomparable profits from their social media posts, concerts, and just pure talent. What do you think makes a song become popular? Definitely by how catchy it is, for one. Also, how well the artist markets themselves. If they constantly get their songs into the top 40, their songs will be heard by the entire world. Lastly, of course, the artist needs to be talented and have something that makes their songs stand out from the others, such as by having a lovely voice, a good beat, etc.
