TONE COLOUR
Tone Colour is an element of sound which allows the listener to identify and deconstruct the qualities of sound unrelated to other music concepts.
Overall Tone Colour
Pop Music is catchy, often electronic in sound, bright with a loud, confident drum beat and often incorporates the use of synthetic and artificial sounds.
Recorded Backing Vocals
Within my chosen song Like a Drum, the addition of pre-recorded backing vocals enhances the electronic sound of the song. It also makes the piece of music seem layered. This extra addition allows listeners to distinguish between the different voices in the foreground and the background of the song. This is a popular pop music characteristic, commonly used by solo artists/vocalists to create an imitation of a duet/echo.
