I can't understand why you are talking about pop songs? I don't know if you heard this new track by Kenny but I only can say that I don't see the pop appeal in this tune..... Like you said, it's not the next new style he is inventing here but I also don't think that this was his goal. If you mean pop song as a track with a message and a certain feel than this new track from Kenny is pop, okay! If you mean an airplay compatible tune then you're wrong, sorry! it's a "retro" (I hate that word!) housey piano track with a smooth feel and nice melodies. Not more but also not less! I still think the most important thing in music is if you get an impression, a feel, an athmosphere when you listen to tracks. Having a mesage is much more important that having invented a new style without what we call soul. I don't need the newest super-duper mega software generated synthesizer sound if it doesn't catch my ear and most important my mind and soul....
