Cliffk Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Forget her folks’ drama for a sec … and I could take or leave her voice. For me, it’s the track. Just love this kind of unexpected musicality, especially in what we’d call mainstream pop. From woah time sig to creative drums to phaat bass to delicious chord voicings and movement: if we’re evaluating contemporary pop, this is my kind. Oh and extra brownie points that these baby Macks are having such fun pulling it off live. 3 Quote YouTube music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrossRhodes Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 I got hip to the bassist, Moheni Dey via an interview Beato did with her. I think this is her main project away from backing Willow. 1 Quote Jazz is the teacher, Funk is the preacher! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AROIOS Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Both the rhythm and the melody sounded boring AF. The drums sounded like a 3rd-rate loop you'll find for one dime a dozen on Splice. The odd meter didn't help either. The melody felt like someone loaded a 16-beat machine-gun pattern in an arpeggiator. Did no one remind these kids the importance of leaving spaces between the notes? And the "singing". To call this sonic abomination "singing" would be an insult to actual singers. It sounded closer to amateur rapping. I'm usually rooting for complexity in music, but this is a perfect example of how complexity doesn't automatically translate to musicality. The whole thing sounded like the typical self-indulgent, robotic, soulless crap a 1st year conservatory student would write on a sequencer. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfD Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 The song arrangement is nice compared to some of the morphine-sounding Pop records with the chord pads and depressed vocals. Those songs where it's hard to tell whether the artist needs a hug or a full scale intervention.🤣😎 1 Quote PD "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return."--E.

HammondDave Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 I think that “protecting someone’s feelings” is not a bad thing. I guess that I am old fashioned and believe in the “golden rule”. Would hate to think that people would talk about me and my art in that way. 2 Quote '55 and '59 B3's; Leslies 147, 122, 21H; MODX 7+; NUMA Piano X 88; Motif XS7; Mellotrons M300 and M400’s; Wurlitzer 206; Gibson G101; Vox Continental; Mojo 61; Launchkey 88 Mk III; Korg Module; B3X; Model D6; Moog Model D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there’s anything the KB shows again and again, it’s that music appreciation is wildly subjective. 😎 1 Quote YouTube music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
