This week we'll revisit the backbeat, not always, as we'll see, on a snare drum. Spoken lyrics, where do they fit in. Bass + Kick = Power. What's that? Ever heard of a pre-chorus? I have a really great blues song, from an Italian band. We'll see both perspectives in two back to back break up songs, but with happy music. What gives with that?

In Hits and Hooks Vignettes, we play some great tunes and lift the hood to see what makes them tick. HHV is a music podcast about how songs keep listeners engaged through hooks, structure, and subtle musical decisions.

Follow Hits and Hooks Vignettes, and join me, TuneMoose Matt Bates, for a weekly short walk through musicland! Hits and Hooks Vignettes is produced by Everyone's A Star Records, and hosted by TuneMoose Matt Bates.
