What sets Synth-Pop singing apart
Synth-pop grew out of late-1970s and 1980s synthesizer music, and its vocals are often cooler and more even in tone than mainstream pop, set against programmed keyboards instead of a band. The drama tends to come from the arrangement rather than from the belt.
Pop is the mainstream it feeds, where belts, riffs and big choruses do more of the work.
