Key changes in popular music have virtually disappeared in the last fifteen years. [This article](https://tedium.co/2022/11/09/the-death-of-the-key-change/) discusses the factors at play.
@johnnylogic Fascinating read. Thank you for the link!
@johnnylogic “…something has been lost by kicking all key changes to the curb. A well-executed key change can elevate a song to a higher plane.” Agree. When a key change is done well, it gives me chills! Not every song needs it, but some songs… there’s just a little more emotional impact to the listener when it is there.
