[@bunglerat]

Hearing this track is like the first time I ever heard 'Rosanna' by Toto: I knew immediately that these three guys sit amongst an elite group of the most insanely accomplished and talented artists to ever play together. Everything about this track is a masterclass in musicianship (emphasis on that word because it is sorely lacking today), song arrangement, mixing and production. I shall now go set fire to my keyboard and never play again. 😆🔥🔥🔥

[@bramgoogle3359]

Funny you bring that up. In the song 'Next to you' Henrik brings Jeff Porcaro's signature Rosanna shuffle to the bass guitar. Truly amazing.

[@brunogueremy391]

Same feeling ' à la manière de' Toto , sweet home of the brave 😉

[@roisin252]

You are clearly wonderful yourself if you can make this comment.

[@rimmersbryggeri]

I was actually thinking yesterday how much more interesting the music these guys make is than the like of toto and other "perfectionist" groups of their generation.

[@steveiuliano1672]

Giving you my keyboards, drums, and bass too. Please burn them also... save me some time. Cheers.

[@jennytell6463]

The most beautiful song that's EVER been made.

I think it’s a great song, great balanced music, technical and also ametional. Wonderful. Respect.

Hello it’s me again, look at this lovely composition man. Thank you, I’m happy to listen this.

Don’t think I get more ... I feel Michael right there. Yeaaa!

Is it me or did these guys get the ultimate finesse since joining Quincy Jones Production

[@kcairns1]

Quincy saw the raw talent and worked his amazing magic. Honestly some of the best music to Grace us all since MJ and prince were still in their primes. God bless Quincey Jones for being the visionary he is.

Sensory overload

[@hristohristov9462]

I grew up in a country where western music was not allowed, so my first encounter with a video on earth, a bohemian rhapsody by Quinn, and when you appeared, I knew that change was happening again. The music you make shakes all my senses and satisfies all my desires and ideas. I am happy to witness your work and grateful for the wonderful energy you give us.

[@anamrake]

Wow, a Dirty Loops track that is not a frenzy. Still good, still groovy, and somehow it feels more deep and mature. Definitely playlist worthy!

That bass has more pickups than the average rural town in Texas does

[@RaphaelNano]

Lmao that’s actually funny .. it has only 2 pickups though.. the one in the middle is just a wooden ramp, and the one closest to the neck is also just wood ramp for slap or something .. I’m fun at parties I promise

[@michaelnielsen7782]

And yet it gets lost in the mix.

[@zmibbles]

@@michaelnielsen7782 Either your smartphone speakers suck or your headset. If you want a punchy bass registers, you are in their wrong song

[@tobytoxd]

@@michaelnielsen7782 I have to agree with that. The bass is lower here in the mix, when you compare this mixdown with others of Dirty Loops. It's just the song and the more chill pop ballad mix approach. So if you're accustomed to Hendriks sound at DL, you have to hear this song a bit more often to get the feeling of the total mix. Of course with decent gear :D Me personally would have put the bass a bit more forward in the final part of the song. The vocals have stopped then and you'd have some more music out of the beautiful bass melodies here at the end of the song.

[@heartstrings110]

[@yaris5150]

@@DavidAndishZambia sure is! I can't help myself but spread the word that everybody needs a better sound system or pair of headphones in their life. To the average person not too into audio but still into music, getting into an entry-level system might make you cry. For those interested in a budget solution, look into the Sony XM4 headphones. I bought them on black friday and the sound for their price is on another level.
