Under Pressure
A Song by David Bowie and Queen
Tells the classic trackās story, charting the relationship between pop music, collective politics, and dominant institutions of state, corporations, and civil society. Brzezinski shows that, like all great pop anthems, āUnder Pressureā harnesses collective sentiments in order to model new ways of thinking and acting.
In 1981, David Bowie and Queen both happened to be in Switzerland: They met and made āUnder Pressure.ā Recorded on a lark, the song broke the path for subsequent pop anthems. In Under Pressure, Max Brzezinski tells the classic trackās story, charting the relationship between pop music, collective politics, and dominant institutions of state, corporations, and civil society. Brzezinski shows that, like all great pop anthems, āUnder Pressureā harnesses collective sentiments in order to model new ways of thinking and acting. As we continue to live under the sign of the global oppressive power the song names, analyzes, and attempts to move beyond, we remain, in Bowie and Freddie Mercuryās phrase, under pressure.
