Reviews

'Queerness in Pop Music is a valuable and timely addition to the field of popular music studies with the author genuinely revelling in the process of exploring the texture of musical texts which toy with (hetero)normative assumptions on gender and sexuality. His ability to get to the heart of what's going on, be it historically, culturally and/or musically in a visual/sonic text is admirable.' Transposition. Musique et sciences sociales
