From Classical to K-Pop: Shut Down By Blackpink Analysis
Description
What happens when you present K-Pop to a classical music professor? You dive into the history of virtuosity and the psychology of the hater...and you might just earn extra credit!
Join me for a walkthrough of the presentation that earned me a 125%. We dive deep into BLACKPINK’s hit single, "Shut Down," and analyze its intentional sampling of Paganini and Liszt's "La Campanella."
This isn't just a breakdown of a sample; it's a look at cultural criticism across centuries. We explore the striking parallels between Niccolò Paganini—the "Devil's Violinist" who was critiqued for being too good—and modern-day K-Pop idols. Whether it's the 19th century or the 21st, true global superstars know how to shut down their critics with undeniable talent.
In this music analysis episode, we cover:
-The fascinating history of La Campanella and its transcription by Franz Liszt.
-How BLACKPINK's message against "haters" channels Paganini’s own turbulent relationship with his audience.
-Why the intersection of Classical Music and K-Pop offers powerful insights into music theory and music history.
