poppier

Increasingly radio-friendly sound

Poppier is the comparative form of poppy, meaning more resembling or suggestive of pop music—catchier, more accessible, with hookier melodies or lighter production: Their new album is poppier than their earlier work.

The word often implies a shift toward mainstream appeal, sometimes with a hint of selling out.
