[@ryancox5097]

The answer is capitalism, plain and simple. The wealthy-elites in the record industry only allow the most profitable music to play on the radio, so we never get to hear anything but the simplest, most unsophisticated material. Record companies and radio stations work together to sell what's ADDICTIVE, not what's thought-provoking, unique, sophisticated or -- God forbid -- what uses real, live instruments.

[@AMTunLimited]

I actually can't tell who would contact who first.

[@imtheandylee]

​@@AMTunLimited Cory reached out first! He just sent an email to his mailing list with a bit of backstory to the album, which I'll paste here for everyone who might not have gotten it: "My first interaction with Dirty Loops was with the viral videos of them doing insane arrangements of pop songs. Their musicianship is absolutely top tier. The only thing I thought was, "Where's the guitar?!" As I sat playing guitar along to the videos from my studio, I thought that I should reach out and see if they wanted to collaborate on something. Usually a collaboration is just one song or a writing session, but I've been exploring the idea of doing collaborative albums with other artists because it allows the two visions of the artists to intermingle more and find more unique ways to blend together to create something new. This project really brought a lot of the musical chops side of my playing out that I often restrain from putting on my albums, and I added some restraint to parts of songs that they might get really intricate. It ended up being a perfect representation of both Cory Wong and Dirty Loops as artists and what a true collaborative project can be."

[@ashieldoffaith5056]

@@imtheandylee i believe they didn't contact him directly because it was a three man. apart from that he only knows chords if i were to insult. and the dirty loops did a BIG BAND. so it was the only to include a courteous invitation. cory i believe could not handle an original composition other than rythm chords

[@imtheandylee]

@@ashieldoffaith5056 Respectfully…that sounds like you’re talking out of your ass. Do you have any evidence to back that up? Or are you just guessing?

My suggestion would be that you focus on enjoying this amazing music and stop armchair quarterback-ing 😉

It's been around 15 years of me learning about Hi-Fi and Loudness War and even after all this time I still can't wrap my head around shitty productions. Who fucking decided that we only need like 3dB of dynamic range in modern (pop) music? I'm getting mad everytime I hear a song I like and then start to wonder how great it would be if someone who actually cared about dynamic would have produced the song. The second you hear a quality recording on a system with good impulse response (meaning loudspeakers with a high sensitivity and a well designed amplifier with lots and lots of power/headroom), you sit on your couch smiling from one ear to the other and start to wonder why we can't have nice things...

[@lorraineb682]

How do we make this happen?

[@jas_bataille]

@@lorraineb682 There are a couple ways to make happen but the fans can't officially do anything... he first way, is to do a radio edit of max. 3:30... you cut a verse, the bridge is very catchy, it starts getting really attention grabbing at around the 3:00 mark. You remove the bass fill that people will not understand. You put a chorus out. Then they call Quincy and he goes to pitch that to radio station... but they aren't weighing in on the charts or on the internet compared to charting pop artists, so good luck. They won't make it on iHeart or any other big player. The second way is to aim for specialized music shows, podcast, and so on. The third way is to get this sync to image on a movie or a series. The fourth way is to mass call a radio station with 1000 people or so and ask for it at the same time and see. That could work... IF it's not 5 min. The radio will NOT play it. It used to be possible back in the days but not anymore.

[@lorraineb682]

@@jas_bataille Yeah... radio is very corporate these days. This song though is 4 min. Next To You has a 4 min radio edit. It's very poppy sounding. I think it's possible. I did request from my local station a year ago, but it's iHeart branded so I doubt that they take any suggestions whatsoever. I mean, I'm sure some jazz has crossed over into popular mainstream here and there over the years right?

I asked my wife to listen this. She's just a regular music listener who doesn't even know what a bass guitar is. She said "it's too busy with a bunch of different sounds".

So let me get this straight: Dirty Loops already in the stratosphere and they add Cory Wong?? They done did it again!! Amazing!!

[@endeuinable]

Savage!! Each new release is better than the previous one, this band is going to the moon!!!

[@kennethhoggro4520]

Forget the Grammys, we know a winner when we hear one. All the right elements, can’t help but to love it, YES!!!

[@andreifelea7205]

Whenever a new dirty loops song comes out i stop everything I'm doing and put my headphones on..... It's like finding 50$ on the floor.... The feeling of a extremely good thing and it's free.......

[@damiankamineth2389]

Man, Dirty Loops never disappoints!! And Aron's snare!!! 🔥

[@skierpage]

Some of Aron's fills just seem faster than anyone except maybe Jojo Mayer. Blink and nine drum hits have happened! I'm not a drummer, what is he doing?

[@transformerpro7489]

I'm just dying. I have had this on repeat for the last 16 hours and I still cannot comprehend how they sound so good.

Perfect song in every way...every single note falls into place...rythym section locked in, what a groove...whoooooo...the embellishments on guitar and keys....the winds and horns perfectly arranged and mixed....holy damn....Jonah, channeling his inner Michael....and the bass solo.... Aron.. absolutely not fair how good they are with cory...need a tour w cory

[@andreghouse9192]

Musically, this song is on of the very best. Technically, the musicianship from the groove section all the way to the horns, this song is not only entertaining, but it also is a lesson on how astute you need to be to perform at this high level. Love it!!

[@elliottlonghawn9020]

Another banger from DL! The vocals felt a lot softer this time which is refreshing and really nice on the ear. The bass solo was next level as per. So much MJ flavour throughout!

[@jorgerebello3379]

Yes, very MJ... the bridge just before Linden's solo sonds like Thriller just before Price's (I would say "priceless") voice...

[@mintproductionz]

Not sure which is more worthy of comment. How ridiculously talented every musician is here or the fact that I found myself smiling through this entire video. This song feels so freakin’ good!!!

[@LeandroSilva-jl1fn]

I just can’t stop smiling watching this … it’s pure gold

[@alexanderhanke3169]

Good Lord, every time I listen I pick up new nuances. This is some next level musicianship. Real music and real musicians still exist today, it just takes a little more effort to find them. Bravo.

[@Dave311Freak]

Those triplet bass ghost notes on the Chorus just hit so hard! Amazing

[@gregstegeman7102]

In a bleak world, I thank the universe for these guys. Music has the power to heal and they fill me with genuine joy.

[@michaelechevers2414]

How is this not top 1 in the charts??? I question a lot popular people's music taste with all that autotune and fake music.... This is without question the real deal. These people deserve much more....!!! As a musician this excites to hear....!!! 😇

[@Aiviymatoc]

how is it possible to feel nostalgia for a song that you just started listening to for the first time? i wish current music were more like this

[@JaedynDLux]

Jonah's voice is INSANE!

[@supernumian4286]

You understand the power of music when everyone smile to each other and have fun playing together.

Henrik is out of this world ! That bass is crazy 👍🏻

[@TheMack0007]

Just heard about the band on the radio while driving from work. I must say. Superb. Fresh. Musically astound. And this coming from a long time Sax player. +1 fan. Cheers from Croatia and keep up with giving food to my ears.

[@davechapmandrums]

Cory is just the grooviest M F-ing guitarist around at the moment. His feel is just out of this world

[@brunomartelli8163]

I think Cory is the perfect match on guitar - musically and personal. I love the arrangement, the horns are fantastic - can't get enough from Dirty Loops.

[@bumfartbumfart2]

this is the natural evolution of pop. this should be on the charts

[@chronicironic1358]

man what would I give to have that level of talent

[@paulbruce5414]

What's truly beautiful about this simple music video is how deeply everyone is enjoying this performance. Smiling, dancing, communicating to one another. The power of authentic music.

[@sjwright2]

And all the more insane when you realise that Cory and Dirty Loops weren't even playing together. There's only one "camera angle" that shows them playing together-and that's a composite of two different rooms.

[@reformedstoic1581]

You guys hit the part of my tastes that desires catchy, AND the part of my tastes that desires fusion shred chops. Please never ever quit Dirty Loops. You ROCK!!!!

[@LomaGnome]

Never heard of these folks till I had that Thriller song come across my desk. And now I get to watch and listen to everything ever done by Dirty Loops. What a great day.

[@vaughanxaviermusic]

To whoever says music is dying, I show them this. Music is evolving in beautiful ways!

So amazing the drum splashes, ghost notes, the slap fills and the bass solo jesus!!!!!, the harmonics on the chorus so tasty, horn sections is so on point and the vocals and the key change to the high like wtf Amazing musicianship!!!!

[@reginaldwineera369]

The vibe between Henrik and Aron is how it should be in all Bands, playing to each other.

[@Franz0410]

Breathtaking song, but what actually almost killed me was "Outro music by David Hasselhoff & David Foster. Looped by Skrillex and mastered by Pamela Anderson". Nice one :D (4:36)

[@sethlindberg2993]

I didn't see that, but as I was listening I was like "is this the Baywatch intro?"
