Bean - Rollercoaster

I have huge soft-spot for pop music, and no matter how deep I dig into the sounds of the underground, pop will always be king. Aficionados of all things independent and esoteric may vehemently disagree with me on this point. While I agree with them that anybody can write a pop song, with its bare bones verse-chorus-bridge formula; I feel that it takes exceptional songwriters to craft great ones. Noelle Bean (Los Angeles, CA) shows such promise.

Simply known as Bean, this Nashville, TN-born, Dallas, TX-raised singer/songwriter has a knack for caramelizing sweet melodies, clever lyrics, and groovy four-chord progressions into 3-minute addictive pop confections. My personal favorite from her Rollercoaster EP (released Jun.17th, 2014) is "Let's Go," whose verse and chorus share the same two chords (B, D#m) with only a short two-chord (C#m, C#dim) pre-chorus thrown in on occasion.
