Aminé Explains How He Builds His Songs | Critical Breakthroughs | Pitchfork

[@val3ntin1122]

I remember when people thought Aminé was a one hit wonder with Caroline.

[@MrVibez205]

valentin ayala well that’s the biggest song he’s made thus far so 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@makueb5605]

He has other songs?

I was so so with his first album so never expected him to turn out this good. One of the very few instances in my life where I’m glad to be proven wrong.

Anyways go stream limbo.

[@brown-eyedcheese5440]

You could, just try it out lol

[@nzvplc]

you can

[@manasez2548]

Literally anyone can do this especially today, it’s just intimidating because usually people are so worried ab sounding as good as the big artists. It’s also hard to learn everything, but nothing good in life is easy. Truth is you can make something even better than like drake in your bedroom with just a mic and a laptop, stay grinding and never stop learning bro ! You got it

[@JRodriguez]

12:03 “everything should be addictive” that is the most accurate way to describe his music, it’s addictive and infectious.

[@kmusic1127]

I like how everyone doesn't talk bad things about him. I am proud of him as an Ethiopian. Aminé who is half Ethiopian and half Eritrean, His respect and Discipline is a true reflection of Ethiopian/Eritrean Upringing. (Positive Vibes)

[@allenalalia4465]

I think that youtube only scans the first few minutes or so of a video for explicit language so they only need to censor the first few minutes to get the video monetized

[@joe_lucid00]

@@juliad.2812 abrupt endings are better for watchtime stats

[@joe_lucid00]

@hugo 🇲🇽 people tend to click off of a video at the end if there are a lot of video plugs and buttons, especially if there's no talking. So you can gain a few seconds of watch time (ratio wise) by cutting your ending short or integrating the conclusion into those buttons.
