Liberty X’s Tony Calls Pop Music ‘Escapism’

Lennat Mak of MTVAsia.com recently caught up with Liberty X star Tony Lundon and asked the pop artist what about pop music he likes most. “The way I look at pop music, it’s like the James Bond movies,” he said. “It’s escapism and it’s entertainment. And I think it should be entertaining first and foremost. There are a lot of songs where the lyrics are crap, but they still have good melodies and good production. I can still really, really like the song because it is entertainment. But I think pop music has changed. People are expecting more from pop music. They want quality. They don’t want just to be entertained. People wanted more depth to it. That’s what makes pop music so challenging and exciting for the moment, especially for a band like us. We are writing our own stuff and we are exploring music as well. We are finding out about an awful lot of musical styles that we don’t know about. I think pop music is changing for the better at the moment.”
