Track By Track

Track By Track is a podcast for every pop music lover. Each week, Dan Bull and Will Warren talk about a different pop album, reviewing each and every song. The UK-based hosts want to dispel the idea that because something is popular, it lacks quality. Instead, they wish to prove that even mainstream albums can be complex and impactful. Dan and Will discuss the lyrics and the stories behind them.

The podcast hosts review the instrumentation, vocals, and what makes a song catchy. Finally, they reminisce about the first time they heard the songs and how it affected their lives. Dan and Will discuss albums from various decades and different genres within pop. Those include anyone from Madonna to Garbage and ABBA. They promise that by the end of the episode, even if the listener is not a fan, they'll find something to enjoy in the album.

On Track By Track, the hosts share their extensive understanding of pop music. Dan Bull is a journalist who wrote about music for the Daily Star, HuffPost, Gigslutz, and WhatCulture. He was also the creator and editor of the online publication TRASH. Will Warren might have less professional experience reviewing music.
