Why Justin Timberlake and Sza's new song signals pop music's return to disco

The Other SideThe track is incredibly catchy, and the lyrics speak about being happy with what you have instead of always thinking that the grass looks greener on"The Other Side" of the fence.

While the track is enjoyable and I do think it's going to get lots of radio play, I also think it's indicative of a more significant sea change in popular music where artists and musicians are looking to the golden era of disco when Donna Summer, The Bee Gees and more ruled the charts. Especially when considering it in the context of other music that has featured heavily on streaming services, radio charts and everyday people's downloads. Other examples of the trend sweeping the airwaves can be found in Dua Lipa's upcoming album,Future Nostalgia

have sailed into the charts and is being streamed in large numbers. The bass line and drumbeats of these songs echo what Justin and Sza have done with their single and make clear references to the time of Studio 54, bell-bottoms and funky dance moves.Another perfect example can be found on one of my favourite records of last year, Mark Ronson's. Mark titled the album after it's lead single which also featured Lykke Li and was released in April of last year.

Next, I totally expect three men with high-pitched vocals and syncopated dance moves to make a big splash in pop music.
