What Is Electropop? Meaning, Sound & Top Artists
The short answer
Electropop is a style of pop music that builds catchy, radio-ready melodies on electronic production: synthesizers, drum machines and digital textures instead of guitars and live drums. The sound is bright, polished and made for dancing. Lady Gaga, Dua Lipa and Ariana Grande are three of its best-known artists.
