Since U Been Gone

A lot of people, me included, love to go on about how Pop Music is basically awful. People who can't sing without AutoTune, no real instruments, a lack of songwriting, etc.

But of course that isn't always the case. Or maybe today's song is the exception that proves the rule. Or something.

And in the name of full disclosure I wouldn't have revisited this song if it weren't for the latest entry in Rick Beato's series What Makes This Song Great? Episode 101: Kelly Clarkson and "Since U Been Gone." That episode was just released on Monday. Even if you don't listen to the song below, you might enjoy Rick's analysis of what is going on with the songwriting and the arrangement and the mix.

This is "Since U Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson from her 2004 album Breakaway. It was released as a single shortly before the album was released.
