Summary/Abstract: The aim of the work is to study pop and vocal art in the context of the development of mass culture, which is genetically determined and mediated by a number of its characteristics and traits. The research methodology involves recourse to an interdisciplinary approach, as well as the use of comparative, historical and logical methods of analysis and culturological approach in the study of these issues. The scientific novelty lies in the expansion of information on the development of pop and vocal art in the context of mass culture and the mediation of its main characteristics by the formats of mass art. Conclusions. The study found that the modern system of pop art, combined with the show business, reflects the state, trends and prospects of pop music, which can be improved by understanding the sociocultural significance of mass culture and popular art, as well as a developed sense of responsibility the creators of mass culture. The development of musical variety should be based on the generalization of previous creative experience and inherited compositional and performing traditions. The current realities of socio-cultural life determine the fact that the substantive and professional components of pop music should be based on both traditional artistic and aesthetic ideas and the search for new views on art, relevant to modern trends, tendencies and spiritual needs of society. The intensification of the musical-performing process leads to the discovery of new horizons of mastering the artistic and creative space, which, in turn, will help update the paradigm of pop art, focusing on modern pop music as an important phenomenon of socio-cultural life.
