Description
xOver a career spanning six decades, Queen have become one of the most successful music artists in the history of the recorded music industry.
Their consumption on digital platforms towers above other classic bands and artists of their generation and even many contemporary artists, attesting to the substantial and transgenerational appeal of Queen.
This collection offers insights into the Queen phenomenon through considering their artistry, influences, sound, singing style, use of instruments and technology, composition, live performance, as well as their impact on other music makers, and fandom. Bringing together academics from a range of disciplines in music studies, including musicology, composition, performance, as well as specialists in film and media studies, sociology, queer studies, and business studies, the book examines the many dimensions of Queen and lessons we can learn from them to inform future practice in popular music.
