Boy George: Modern pop is like 'same record' repeated

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

Boy George says modern pop music is too "formatted" and sounds like the "same record" repeated. The Culture Club singer said artists no longer made hits like his song Karma Chameleon, because modern singles had to "hit people over the head" with beats. "Even someone like Gaga who looks incredible, is making EDM (electronic dance music)… everybody's trying to get a slice of the same pie", said the 53-year-old. This clip is originally from Colin Paterson on Monday 29 September 2014.
