Hitmaker's Handbook

Pop music is the great cultural leveller—everyone thinks they can do it, and most of them are wrong. That’s where Hitmaker’s Handbook comes in, striding through the bloated wasteland of failed hooks and half-baked choruses like a leather-jacketed messiah. This isn’t some plodding, academic guff about diminished sevenths and lyrical theory. No, this is a battle plan for writing songs that hijack the airwaves, worm into your brain, and refuse to leave, like an uninvited house guest with a bottle of tequila. You’ll learn how to construct melodies that sound like destiny, lyrics that whisper sweet nothings and shout anthems all at once, and hooks so addictive they should probably be regulated. Whether you’re a starry-eyed bedroom producer or a grizzled industry veteran wondering why your last track fizzled, this book will slap the mediocrity out of your songwriting and replace it with chart-conquering brilliance. There’s a reason pop songs stick - they’re built that way. If you want to be the one making them, rather than just wondering why your three-chord ballad never got past your mum’s polite applause, Hitmaker’s Handbook is your next essential read. Buy it. Or resign yourself to obscurity. Your call.
