More about this title
Why we love this
This collection gathers the defining pop and rock songs of 2007 in one accessible resource, giving pianists and vocalists genuine hits they actually want to play rather than settling for simplified versions elsewhere. The mix spans indie rock (Snow Patrol, The Shins), pop-punk energy (Paramore, Plain White T's), and chart dominance (Rihanna, Michael Bublé), so there's repertoire that speaks to different tastes and voice types. At over 200 pages with 35 songs, it's a goldmine for recitals, lesson repertoire building, or simply keeping students engaged with music they recognize and love.
What to expect
A snapshot of 2007's emotional landscape captured in the recording studio and translated for the keyboard and voice. These songs carry the weight of their original production (the atmospheric spaces in 'Chasing Cars,' the layered vocals in 'Umbrella,' the raw intensity of 'Good Enough') while remaining playable in intimate settings. Performing from this collection feels like inhabiting the songs from the inside out rather than imitating them.
Who it's for
Piano students and vocalists seeking contemporary material that feels current and rewarding to perform, plus teachers who want to build recital programs around songs their students actually know. This folio works equally well for solo piano interpretations, piano-voice duets in lessons, or as a reference for learning contemporary arranging and voicing strategies.
How to get the most out of it
- Anchor the vocal line to the chord progression rather than chasing every melodic ornament; these songs thrive on groove and pocket, not precision.
- Use the vocal melody as a guide for left-hand voicing choices. Many of these arrangements work best when piano comping complements the singer's phrasing rather than doubling it throughout.
- Balance dynamics between verse and chorus carefully. Songs like 'Chasing Cars' and 'Hey There Delilah' build momentum through restraint in early sections, so resist the urge to fill every space.
- Pay attention to rhythmic feel in songs with prominent percussion or drums in the original. Listening to the source recording clarifies whether a song sits in a swing feel, straight eighths, or a specific groove pattern.
How to use it
Build a recital around themes or moods from this collection rather than programming chronologically. A program pairing 'Hey There Delilah' with 'Everything' and 'I'll Stand by You' creates a coherent emotional arc that audiences follow readily. These songs also work beautifully as supplementary repertoire alongside classical training, proving that contemporary music and technique development strengthen each other.
