The beat of the song

In the modern world of music, samples are popular among many artists and producers. From “Heads Carolina, Tails California” to “Blue,” sampling is not the only way that songs can sound the same as backtracks and rhythm can be similar like “Waking Up Dreaming” by Shania Twain and “Overpass Graffiti by Ed Sheeran” to “Airplane by B.o.B” and “Empire state of mind by Jay Z and Alica Keys” and of course the well known “Under Pressure” and “Ice Ice Baby” that 

caused a lawsuit for sounding too similar.

 Some songs may sound so alike that people can get a job called a musicologist in which they are paid to see how much certain songs sound alike, but you don’t always have to have a job in the area of music to think songs sound similar to each other. You can just be a student that is into music to think songs sound similar to each other. Sophomore Aniyah Steen thinks the songs ”Same Old Love” by Selena Gomez and “Havana” by Camila Cabello sound similar. Finally, junior Cameron Roach who thinks the song “Love Sosa” by Chief Keef and the song “In the Air Tonight” by Phil Collins sound similar. 

As much as music is listened to by students, they are not the only ones who do. Like the teacher Mrs. Beeson who thinks the song “Misery Business” by Paramore and the song “Good 4 U” by Olivia Rodrigo sound similar. Finally, teacher Mr. Loeffelholz thinks the song “Chicken Fried” by Zac Brown Band and the song “Same Boat” by Zac Brown Band sound similar. In conclusion, even if a song has people under it. In this day and age, songs can still sound similar in more ways than just sampling and are not listened to by just the youth but by all ages.
