I disagree.

How do you define pop friendly?

Because when I think of a song that is pop friendly, I think of a song that reflects the trends, subject matter and production patterns that is popular at the time. Objectively, Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" does not reflect current pop trends or music that would be typically defined as pop friendly in today's market


She did not become a superstar by making "pop friendly" music.
