This week we'll see some vocal virtuosity, I dive into folky ballads, and for contrast a rockin' drivin' riffin' song. Ostinato, what's that? What makes a rhyme and how can we use them. And we'll have a laugh or two.

In Hits and Hooks Vignettes, we play some great tunes and lift the hood to see what makes them tick. HHV is a short-form music podcast about how songs keep listeners engaged through hooks, structure, and the subtle musical decisions that quietly do their work.

Follow Hits and Hooks Vignettes, and join me, TuneMoose Matt Bates, for a weekly short walk through musicland! Hits and Hooks Vignettes is produced by Everyone's A Star Records, and hosted by TuneMoose Matt Bates.
