[@jimig.junior9314]

Hi. I don't listen to radio much, but I happened to catch this song the other day and I am, well, totally obsessed, I grew up in the 70's and AM radio had so much impact on my life. I hear a song and I time travel to a nice memory from my childhood. What is great about this tune is that it bridges a divide between generations, maybe 3. Youngsters today call it retro. I call it bliss. I really feel the music. And I can tell by your reaction that you also pick up on that smooth 70's soulful pop sound. Your energy is amazing and your knowledge of vocals is superb. Please consider analyzing a band named "Toby Beau" who had a top 10 called "My Angel Baby in '78. Their 2nd album had several amazing songs Including a Lulu remake) that never hit the charts, but I remember hearing those songs growing up in Galveston all the time. Here is one song in particular that puts a smile on my face and takes me right back in the day kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmfQhoCIaN9lrrc

The rain stick effect is the guitarist sliding down the string while muting it with some delay/reverb

Really?!? I would NEVER have guessed that. Since it wasn't present as physical percussion, I just assumed it was a prerecorded sound played over a range of keys on a synthesizer.

[@sumgamesonmyphone9203]

One of the selling points of this album is the constant camera angle changes with Anderson Paak looking at it in comedic timing. Makes it feel like they must have had such fun filming it

[@jo_ni_kay]

Songwriters: Bruno Mars, Anderson .Paak, D'Mile, and Brody Brown Producers: Bruno Mars and D'Mile Music Video Directors: Bruno Mars and Florent Dechard FYI -- The other musicians in this music video are some of Bruno's backing band the Hooligans, except for the bass player. That is 5 time Grammy winner songwriter/producer Brody Brown.

Someone's got a crush on Anderson 😂😂 and Bruno lol ♥️

[@nm1raider758]

Anderson Paak is also a song writer and a record producer!!!!! Also, "lalala" and "wowowo" were main staples of 70's song! Hence, the reason it was in this song as they are paying homage to 70's music!!!

[@chrisoakley5830]

And doing it very well.

[@danielamarianolimadasilva5032]

Lalá-la. = Stevie Wonder 😊..

[@fogdog165]

You'll love the Grammy performance of this one AND the more recent one on the iHeartRadio Music Awards. For extra credit you should check out .Paak's Tiny Desk concert, the most viewed in the series. Fun fact: All the clothes and shades in this video are from Bruno's "Ricky Regal" clothing line with Lacoste. Also, the mystery "rain stick" was guitar but the guitarist in the video isn't playing it. However, Bruno is credited as playing guitar on this recording (not keys) so perhaps he added that part later. Excellent and educational review as always!

[@kyleenglish2831]

Couldn’t agree more. That tiny desk recording is a jam.

[@Tessiefaye]

I concur with these recommendations. After seeing Anderson Pack with Bruno I went and looked him up because I had never heard of him. That Tiny Desk concert, which is just 15 minutes long is amazing. He is so talented. I really enjoyed your review and who love to here your interpretation of the Tiny Desk concert. I love hearing professionals review music like this. I learn so much. Anderson Paak also won a grammy in 2020.

[@pnojazz]

No, especially with an Ab7 with a b9+5. That’s a straight up jazz chord!

@@chrisoakley5830 Sure, it is. But that's part of why people say pop has gotten dumber. Soul songs from that era pulled heavily from jazz and were quite sophisticated. When I said it wasn't your typical pop song, I should have specified that it wasn't your typical MODERN pop song.

Bruno's transition between his registers is absolutely insane. i WISH i could transition that smoothly.

[@nicholashewett979]

My old choir teacher took me from being a solid baritone to competitively singing at the 1st tenor spot. I definitely don't have the abilities that Bruno has, but it reminds me a lot of what my old teacher told me to achieve better range. He told me constantly that a good head voice is basically a developed and powerful falsetto. Of course he would always make me do warm ups by starting low and doing arpeggios going up in range. But, the more important drills he had me do were starting high in my head voice and doing arpeggios going down and he would want me to stay in my falsetto/head voice as long as possible going down. He always said that drill was much more important to my range than those that started low and went up.

Yeah, haven't heard many artists that do that as a lead vocal. I think the one that I'm most familiar with besides Phil Collins is Karen Carpenter. She performed many of their first hits behind the drum kit because it was where she was most comfortable, until they pretty much forced her front stage with the mic.

[@JacieNicholson]

@@JustTanya. I actually just remembered her the other day, and I went “actually that’s my pick for best drummer/singer ever”. She was unreal at the drums. She’s a better drummer than she is a singer and she’s one of the greatest singers of all time. Neil Peart (as humble as he always was) was once asked what it felt like to be the greatest drummer on the planet; “I don’t know, you’d have to ask Karen Carpenter”. I wish she could’ve lived a much longer life and gotten the proper due for her skill.

8:20 It's an electric guitar, he/she is gently putting the left hand over the first string without fretting in the higher notes up in the neck and when they start picking with the right hand, the left hand follows the frets all the way down from the bridge to the neck which creates that descending cascading sound. It's a cool technique especially when you use reverb and a bit of delay like in this song :)

One more thing I want to mention is, this is true song writing. From the far from typical chords progressions and modulations in today's music, this is what is sadly missing currently. I wish we would embrace this more today. Music has gotten so soulless and surgical now.

My point was, we used to appreciate real musicianship and song writing more than we do now. Maybe next time you should think about it before you insinuate someone is an idiot. 🤔🙂

[@Spacedancer747]

The qualities you’re mentioning, in terms of songwriting, are the influence of jazz chord progressions, which worked their way into R&B and soul. Basic rock, and roots stuff, and laminated those extended cords, and kept with basic progressions. When Rap started, it was really just poetry with beats. The poetry was the point. As rap evolved, the lyrics, the rhymes, the poetry evolve, but the music behind it didn’t. So I’m talking about bands, like Earth, wind and fire, who worked those extended chord, progressions in, even Michael Jackson create a complex harmonies. Today they were far fewer, trained musicians riding, and they haven’t been schooled in those richer cord progressions that came originally from jazz. I’m out of a lazy riding and performing these days. That’s what I hear.
