Vocal Coach REACTS - Dirty Loops 'Next To You'

[@Orthogonalus]

I saw them live. When I got home my entire face hurt, because I had been grinning from start to finish the whole show.

[@TheFaarf]

Dude I am jealous

[@nathanalane2674]

One of the great joys of my life is watching people experience Dirty Loops for the first time!

[@fiddlestix3025]

Same ☺️

[@MrJapanApan]

From a vocalist point of view, the best would have been Breakdown or Hit me. But as far as music, you cant really go wrong with these guys.

Breakdown, omg! And Hit Me (that end melisma😯), ditto! But these guys man... 😳🔥

[@kevinbozman2572]

Recently discovered this band thanks to a spotify algorithm. The talent with these 3 dudes is off the charts

[@allanpolk2681]

These guys shine in every corner. The vocals are mind boggling, so clean with the runs and range to the moon. Henrik on bass... WORLD CLASS, no doubt. His speed, arrangement and precision are just impeccable, all the while keeping a big grin on his face. Henrik obviously having more fun than what is legal. The drumming is sooo perfect, from the opening, through all the tempo changes, there’s a TIGHT pocket. There is nothing but immaculate, timely and punching breaks, that fit seamlessly in the mix. WOW, mind sufficiently BLOWN.

[@BizarrelyOdd]

The bassist is smashing those notes man! Apart from how the guys sing (which is amazing) the bassist takes it to the finish line for sure!

[@darylpryor5635]

I am envoius of everyone that is yet to experience this band for the first time! What an absolute journey it is.

[@youngspianos1]

So right,found them by accident this week and its quite a moving experience...are they really from this planet?

[@victorgutierrez6522]

My opinion.Those guys are one of best band right now.

[@erikaqueencoco]

His runs are sick and twisted !!!! I love it !!!! The base player brought the funk in and tore the song up 🔥🔥🔥🔥. The drummer was jammin !!!! My favorite song of all time !!!

[@stefanandersson2402]

You might want to hear "World on fire" and/or "Breakdown". We also have "Hit me" and "Rock you". They also have several covers and rearrangements of for example "Cirkus" by Britney Spears and Rolling in the deep" by Adele.

[@darquemode1165]

Some of their covers are awesome. I mean if a band can make me listen to Britney Spears or Justin Beiber songs and not turn it off... That's saying something!

Haha and you still have the epic " work shit out" to check out. Best of luck😂

[@lavenderbluemama953]

Keep going on the DL ride! They never disappoint. Each song is different, but “their thing” is always amazing in every song! No matter how many times I hear any song of theirs, I always feel joy. Every single time.

[@lavenderbluemama953]

Hey! Just had to add... I subscribed & just bought a ticket to your virtual show! Can’t wait! I came here for your Dirty Loops reaction, but am enjoying your other reactions as well! Thanks!

[@jeremiahandmaggiegutierrez3261]

Quincy Jones had Jonah sing a Michael Jackson song for one of his concerts. He kills it.

[@AndrewBonicaRR]

I thought I was the last to hear them. These guys are absolutely mind-blowing!!! 🤯🤘😜👏👏👏🎶🎵🎶

[@philrobinson5773]

WORK SHIT OUT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!

[@sneaste]

Even if all their newer song are all fantastic, you need to listen to the vocals in the end of an old track called "Hit Me". The run he is doing in the end is the most impresive i've ever heard! Love that you checked this band out, one of my favourites! :)

[@josephdelauro1474]

You are in for a fun ride with Dirty Loops! Can't wait for your reactions to more of their songs, and the covers they did early on! Enjoy!!

[@マシュードーラン]

He really is one of the best singers on the planet! Mind blowing every time as well as the other two. All masters at their crafts

[@Matt-zo9hi]

I only found these guys today and HAD to check out some reactions to see if anyone was as amazed as me. This band is out of this world

[@timothydog76]

Listen to their song "Hit Me". Jonah does a vocal run at the end that is nothing short of legendary.

[@danielolson5378]

These guys met at a music school in Stockholm, Sweden. Jonah's (piano, vocals) major was classical while Henrik's (bass) and Aron (drums) jazz/improvisation. They began rearranging contemporary and songs from the '80s and uploaded it to KZbin. Needless to say it went super viral and more or less caught everyone's attention from Quincy Jones to David Foster! The latter one kinda took them under his wings as his protégés. Nowadays they belong to Quincy Jones productions. They are not from this world!!

[@DojoOfCool]

And Quincy Jones liked Dirty Loops enough he is now their manager. So there will be more Dirty Loops coming.

[@darquemode1165]

Dirty Loops deserves more reactions from musicians and vocal coaches! Insane talent... Albeit at times Jonah is a little too pop for me, but Henrik's bass keeps me coming back for moooooore.

[@hecdavid11]

This was so cool to watch! 😂 I kept on laughing with you, these guys are way too amazing. People already recommended some to you, but I strongly suggest you check out "Hit Me" for the vocals and "Work Sh*t Out" for the more musical side of their skill

[@fiddlestix3025]

Hi Ken, thanks for getting into this and giving this crazy Swedish trio the attention they deserve. Some interesting comments there too at the end 🙏 One thing: all the vocal tracks on this recording were sung by Jonah, despite appearances :) I really have to listen to this track with eyes closed, to fully appreciate all the different colours, harmonies and characters of his vocal and choral lines; and his harmonies at the end, during the credits… So, so many other great tracks by Jonah and by Dirty Loops, -but he’s now also released a solo album called “Now or Never”. You might want to check that out :) Then there are the interviews with him on Stratele Studio’s KZbin channel, definitely worth checking out 👍

[@baibiebaibea9740]

i genuinely love how the lean more to poppier and over the top almost theatrical anthems that tends to be "cheesy" bec i feel its really the type of sound that gives their skills justice lol

[@linusottosson5425]

That was fun watching as fan of Dirty Loops. Good job! I recommend also exploring their new song ”Breakdown” which highlights the vocals even more. 👍🏻

[@crisshaya]

Once you react to them you have to react to all of their music. its just too good.

[@TheWiseGrif]

I was introduced to this band through youtuber Natalie Weiss and her series Breaking Down the Riffs...i haven't checked out any more of their stuff, but the riff in the song Hit Me will never leave my mind

[@briandhinton]

I'm ready to see more reactions to him! Let's goooo!

[@philrobinson5773]

Check out the vocalist's solo called Jonah Nilsson "Coffee Break"

[@tekkhero9767]

I love how everyone either just sits there in amazement, or laughs in disbelief, when listening to Dirty Loops!

[@robertkaye5434]

I was literally in tears my first time, exclaiming aloud, "They're so good! They're so good!"

[@button4631]

These guys are awesome! My jazz loving belated husband would loved this. I added them to my Spotify list.

[@setecastronomy53]

Great reaction! Please do some more Dirty Loops!. May I suggest Work Shit Out, and an early one of theirs called Hit Me which has a now-famous vocal scat at the end which defies belief. Thanks so much!

[@robote7679]

Wow! That was one fabulously fun reaction video to watch. Great genuine reactions, good commentary and the proper amount of whoa factor from anyone experiencing the Loops for the first time. You've more than earned my subscription and please react to more "Dirty Loops". A lot of their early stuff are covers with insane takes on the originals. I noticed someone below recommended "Work Shit Out". It is a great song but to me it is one of the lightest on vocals featuring instead incredible instrumental solos. It's eight years old but I'd recommend "Rolling In The Deep (Adele Cover)" as a great display of Jonah's vocal ability. You'll never hear this song the same way again.

[@cruzmakaveli9891]

Love the 80's Synth Sound

[@turbotunna3794]

Ken - you HAVE to react to their song Breakdown, the vocals are just wow.

Have you heard and reacted to BRAKEDOWN? That song is filthy. Vocals of Jhona are just insane!!!

[@ruthiemavorah956]

Hi, I subscribed! I love how genuine your reactions are to talented singers! I’d suggest watching Pentatonix’s version of Hallelujah (music video or the live version from their Christmas special in which it’s very easy to tell that the first singer takes over the bass line when their bassist sings lead). If you end up reacting to the official video, watch out for the guy in the hat...

[@redbandita020]

Everybody: How many layers, chords and notes can you fit into a song? Dirty Loops: Yes. More is more.

[@matthewcalhoun]

Ken, You really have to hear Yebba!! Her Sofar performance of "My Mind" is absolutely gut wrenching and incredible. Her vocals are the best ever. You gotta do a reaction.

[@oettinger87]

Your movements at 3:35... i do exactly the same everytime I hear this run :D

[@thage7729]

This group was ‘discovered’ by Quincy Jones. Another QJ discovery is a multi-grammy winning vocalist/composer/arranger/producer Jacob Collier. I’d recommend starting with the video which got Quincy’s attention: “Don’t You Worry ‘bout a Thing” (S.Wonder cover)

[@wentkat]

If you're at all interested in where they draw their influences from, check out their recet interview with Rick Beato. Explains a lot of what you're hearing.

[@martenmanna]

Nothing to the drummer... how dare you hahahah, plays great, and also did a lot of the background vocals, the whole 3 of them are the absolute elite of their respective instruments

Great talent band 🤗

[@revangerang]

Nice reaction! That synth bit was a bit much for me the first time listening, too, but it’s grown on me bc it really does work for the song. I love that they have that nice soothing end bit (the part playing during the credits of the mv) bc you really do need a breather after all that insane buildup and chord progressions 💀💀💀 “Where are we going??” is the exact mood hahaha Btw its been killing me over this past year of watching your videos and I’m dying to know- do you happen to be related to Paul Rudd? You look and sound so similar !

[@phillipwhaley7759]

rock you!! review that one!

[@wayneblanchard97]

In terms of strong vocalists, you might want to consider Glenn Hughes. He is well known to rock fans from his time with Trapeze, Deep Purple, Black Country Communion as well as his own solo career and various side projects. He is also a wicked bassist and also plays guitar, though on this he plays keys while his band takes a break (that band was members of Swedish group Europe). There is plenty of Glenn on KZbin. He recently joined the Dead Daisies, replacing the seriously good bassist/singer Marco Mendoza. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKaqeH2Qbbibga8

For another video on incredible metal vocals check out "Dark Reflections" from Candlemass, the official live video is exciting!

[@softbatch1]

I'd like to see a reaction video with Jill Scott. She not only has impressive range,but she's also got an exquisite way of combining note and progressions. She's my favorite vocalist.

[@elizabethcovarrubias6244]

If you are interested in another metal opera video I recommend "Our Solemn Hour" by Within Temptation (live w/Black Symphony).

[@svenf1090]

you could react to Sir Elton John and Axl Rose singing Bohemian Rhapsody for Freddy Mercury

[@svenf1090]

Or to Axl singing we will rock you

[@ghostdog5198]

Hi Ken, I really really like your 'React to' videos, you're autentic and it's great to see your reactions and hear your analyzes. I would highly recommend you two fantastic mystical magic songs... First -"Wardruna, Aurora and Oslo Fagottkor: "HELVEGEN"" - the version in the cave!!! The second: "Eivør Pálsdóttir: Tròdlabùndin (Trøllabundin) - 10.08.13". I wish you all the best, a fan from Germany.

I like how Ken just wanted to be negative about everything, disliked the style, scoffed at all the choices, hated on the synth sound, and it just absolutely didn't matter because of the MASSIVE level of undeniable talent that Dirty Loops is. Mad respect to Jonah, Henrik, and Aron for being incredible beasts
