Country-Pop

Country-Pop is a musical genre that blends elements of country music with those of pop music. This genre emerged in the late 20th century, characterized by its catchy melodies, polished production, and incorporation of pop-oriented song structures. Country-Pop artists often appeal to a broad audience by using mainstream pop influences while maintaining a distinctively country sound, which can include traditional instruments like the guitar, banjo, and fiddle. Notable artists in this genre have successfully crossed over to both country and pop charts, leading to a wider acceptance of country music in popular media. The genre emphasizes storytelling typical of country music but often presents it with a more mainstream, accessible style.
