Has anyone noticed that there is some really hooky, audities' kind of soft music that's POPping up on all kinds of American tv commercials? That's great and I'm not sure what it means. Maybe the next "fad" in music will be a return to soft melodic music, even if this is just considered something new and a backlash(are not most trends in music created from a backlash to other trends?) to the loud heavy "pop" music that's out there today.
