Current Music and Music of the 60's
This is a picture of Sam Smith's album, In the Lonely Hour. It is an example of modern popular music. The album contains pop, R&B and soul music. This is as popular as it was in the sixties. Not the album, but the type of music. Pop and soul music are popular, just as they were in the sixties. Currently modern music consists of more country than before and a lot less disco, however.
