Honess Jones calls the genre of music he makes MEAN POP.
His new single ‘Sad Little Vice’ aims to define what that is.
‘Sad Little Vice’ grabs our attention with energetic beats that are reminiscent of synth melodies from the 80s and the vocals from Honess Jones further captivate.
There is something undeniably catchy about the melody, tempo and overall vibe of MEAN POP.
Within the song, the aggressive and attacking nature of MEAN POP is matched in the anger of a charged and scathing song about phone addiction.
So what is MEAN POP?
In summary, it’s a certain type of pop music that Jones intends to explore and expand.
Drawing influences from the darker, more metallic sounds of Janet Jackson & Madonna, all the way through to more contemporary artists such as Charli XCX and The Weeknd, Honess Jones pinpointed a sound that complemented the rawness and edge of heavier rock music that he grew up on, yet retained the instant and immediate catchiness of great pop music.
