It's nearly the weekend! We recommend spending it with music and a good book, or a good book about music! MAJOR LABELS: A History of Popular Music in Seven Genres by Kelefa Sanneh is a deep study on how our popular music unites and divides us. Distilling a careers worth of knowledge, Sanneh explores the tribes music forms, debunks cherished myths, reappraises beloved heroes and upends ideas of musical greatness. This is a book to shock and awe the greatest music nerd - and at the same time to act as a heady gateway drug for the uninitiated. #MajorLabels #KelefaSanneh #ReadCanongate #Music #Rock #rnb #country #punk #hiphop #dance #pop
