Hip Hop and R&B- Cardi B's I Like It and Childish Gambino's This is America have sparked endless conversations with their piercing commentary on societal issues. The infectious chorus of I Like It reminds us that the mainstream Hip Hop and Rap industry needs more Latinx voices. On the other hand, This is America highlights the prevalent gun violence and racial divide in America. Pop- Pop music that blended with other genres was a trend in 2018. Songs like Ariana Grande's No Tears Left To Cry combines a pop chorus with a mellow electronic drop, while Dua Lipa's Electricity fuses funky disco with a modern twist. Country- Despite being snubbed from the Country charts, Lil Nas X's Old Town Road stood strong for several weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The crossover hit featuring Billy Ray Cyrus took the internet by storm with its soft, yet infectious trap beat. The 2000s Sound- Music fans had a hard time escaping the nostalgic T-Pain sound in 2018. Artists like Drake, Post Malone, and 6ix9ine all utilized elements that merged their sound with that of T-Pain. For example, the chart-topping I Like It sample 90s hit I Like It Like That by the one and only, Tito Nieves. Rock and Indie- Bands like Arctic Monkeys and The 1975 proved that rock was still alive, despite being undervalued. The Arctic Monkey’s Tranquillity Hotel Base& Casino took a u-turn from their traditional garage rock sound in favor of a more piano-driven contemporary album. In contrast, The 1975's Love It If We Made It brought the in-your-face Indie rock sound known as their brand of music. 2018 was a year that saw artists pushing boundaries and deftly toeing the line between genres.
