Pop

The crate for rooms that need people to feel good without noticing why. This isn't chart pop or agency-safe filler, it's the tier below the hits: songs with the same hooks and production values as radio, minus the licensing headache and the "I've heard this a thousand times" fatigue. Melodic top-lines, clean mixes, tempos that sit comfortably between 90 and 120 BPM so it moves without rushing anyone through their coffee.

Built for spaces where the music has to work hard and stay invisible: high street retail floors, fashion stores trying to match a collection's mood rather than fight it, cafés running a lunch rush, casual dining rooms turning tables without feeling like a conveyor belt. It reads as current without dating fast, and it holds up at conversation volume. Nothing here is going to fight a till receipt printer or a barista calling out an order.

Hotel bars and daytime service get the same treatment: familiar enough that nobody asks what this is, unfamiliar enough that nobody's sick of it by their third visit. If the brief is something upbeat that won't annoy anyone in six months, this is the crate that answers it.
