Canadian pop is a genre characterized by its eclectic blend of melodic sensibilities, introspective lyrics, and genre-bending experimentation. Emerging in the 1990s, it drew from the country's rich musical heritage, incorporating elements of folk, rock, and R&B. The genre's defining sound often features lush vocal harmonies, atmospheric production, and a mix of acoustic and electronic instrumentation. Canadian pop's heyday was marked by the crossover success of artists who pushed the boundaries of teen pop, adult contemporary, and hip-hop, often incorporating introspective, emotionally charged storytelling. This distinct sound resonated with a global audience, particularly among young adults, and helped shape the contemporary pop landscape. Notable for its emphasis on melodic craftsmanship and lyrical vulnerability, Canadian pop has influenced a wide range of genres, from indie rock to electronic R&B, and continues to evolve as a unique and captivating force in popular music.
