Hopefully the rebirth continues. I hate Beyonce/Rihanna/Taylor Swift/Ed Sheeran/etc. pop music of the past decades and would love something like 60’s to early 00’s pop to come back. Sabina Carpenter seems like a step in the direction I prefer. Less minimalism in arrangements, less concentration on the vocal lines.
I like how, say, French and Italian pop, on average, didn’t follow the Anglosphere trends of the past two decades as much and remains much more pleasant to the ear.
Good. Modulating the key only sounds like cheating your way to longer play.
Key changes always sound so corny and forced to me. Like telling tv audiences to laugh with a laugh track, or melodramatic acting in Oscar bait films; a key change is beating people over the head with a “you will feel soaring emotions… now!” move that I don’t miss.

I mean they went away because it’s (in most, not all cases) a corny move that takes the place of good song composition.

Truck Driver’s Key change: predictable, forced, cliche’d
Any other Key Change: 😊😊😊
The only way to save music is to revive swing music again
